The first 10 minutes decide everything.

When Something Goes Wrong

It's the day you hope never comes, a dog gets hurt, or an owner accuses you, and in that moment, panic makes it worse. Admit fault, skip the documentation, fumble the response, and a manageable accident becomes a career-ending lawsuit. You need the plan before you need it.

When Something Goes Wrong cover
Why it matters

When a dog Maria was grooming spooked and got nicked, it became a real vet bill, covered, because she had insurance and documented properly. Later, an accusation dissolved the moment her intake record showed the injury was noted at drop-off, before she'd touched the dog. (Illustrative example.)
