These terms apply to dog day care, overnight boarding and walking services provided by Paws Peradise, operated by Michael Ferreira in Pêra, Algarve, Portugal. By booking a service, you agree to these terms.
Bookings are arranged directly with me by WhatsApp or email and are confirmed once I reply to confirm availability. Every new dog starts with a free trial day, so both your dog and I can see whether it is a good fit before any full booking.
You confirm that your dog is in good health, is up to date with vaccinations and parasite treatment, and has no history of aggression you have not told me about. Please tell me about any medical condition, medication, allergy or behavioural need before the booking. I reserve the right to decline or end care for any dog whose health or behaviour puts other dogs, people or itself at risk.
I take care of every dog as if it were my own. If your dog becomes unwell or is injured while in my care, I will try to contact you as soon as possible. If I cannot reach you and the situation needs it, I may seek veterinary treatment on your behalf, and you agree to be responsible for reasonable veterinary costs in that case.
Day care runs with morning drop-off and evening pick-up by 7 pm. If a dog is not collected by then, the stay may continue into overnight boarding, charged at the boarding rate, so your dog is settled and cared for rather than waiting.
Prices for each service are agreed at the time of booking. Payment is arranged directly with me. Any travel fee, where it applies, is added to pick-up bookings and is explained before you confirm.
If you need to cancel or change a booking, please let me know as early as you can. As a one-person business, late cancellations affect the dogs I am able to take, so as much notice as possible is always appreciated.
I provide care with reasonable skill and attention. Dogs are living animals, and some ordinary risks of wear, minor injury or illness cannot be removed entirely. Except where the law does not allow it to be limited, my responsibility is limited to the care I provide, and I am not liable for loss or damage that could not reasonably have been prevented.
Questions about these terms are welcome at any time. Message me by WhatsApp at +351 933 781 602 or email michael@pawsperadise.com.
