Terms and Conditions.

Dog Daycare & Group Classes

By clicking "Yes" to confirm any booking or service with TBRC Pty Limited (ABN 50 680 148 912), trading as The Belly Rub Club ("TBRC"), you acknowledge and agree to the following Terms and Conditions.

1. Eligibility and health

Vaccinations – All dogs must be fully vaccinated with a C5 vaccination and up to date with worming, tick and flea treatment, completed at least 5 days before attending. TBRC requires proof of vaccination when booking or on your dog's first day, and an up-to-date vaccination certificate each year.

Puppies in Puppy Pre School – To attend Puppy Preschool, puppies must have had at least their first vaccination and be up to date with flea, tick and worming treatment, and be free of intestinal parasites. Puppies must have been in their new home for at least 3 days and appeared healthy during that time. TBRC requires proof of first vaccination when booking or on the first day.

Desexing -  All dogs over 12 months must be desexed to attend daycare, unless breed-specific authorisation from a vet is provided. A temperament assessment still applies.

Size and breed – The Belly Rub Club is exclusively for small dogs. Whilst we do not discriminate on breed, all dogs require a size & temperament assessment and dogs deemed to big for the group regardless of temperament may not be accepted. TBRC cannot accept any breed deemed "dangerous" by the NSW Government, including the American Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Presa Canario, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro. All owners accept that their dog will share spaces with other breeds.

Suitability assessment – All dogs are assessed for suitability for daycare during their initial visit. If a dog is assessed as not suitable, TBRC will refund all pre-paid and unused daycare sessions.

Recent injury, illness or surgery – If your dog has had a significant injury, illness or surgery in the last 6 months, TBRC may request a vet report confirming they are fit to attend and ask you to sign a disclaimer accepting the risks. After routine surgery (such as desexing, dental work or wound repair), incisions must be fully healed and stitches removed, usually around 14 days after surgery.

Right to refuse entry – TBRC reserves the right to refuse entry to any dog at its discretion, including for health, behaviour or welfare reasons.

2. Care, safety and liability

Veterinary care – If your dog needs veterinary care (emergency or non-emergency) while in TBRC's care, we will contact you or your emergency contact. If we cannot reach either, we will make decisions in the best interests of your dog's health. You agree to pay all veterinary costs incurred while your dog is in TBRC's care.

Optional services – You agree to pay all costs and charges for optional services you request.

Adjusting services – TBRC may adjust or change your dog's services where needed to protect the safety and welfare of all dogs in our care.

Ownership and behaviour – You confirm that you are the sole owner of your dog, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. You are solely responsible for any harm or damage your dog causes to other dogs, people or property while in TBRC's care, including biting, scratching or other aggressive or dangerous behaviour.

Liability – To the extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, TBRC, its employees and agents are not liable for any illness (including paralysis tick or canine influenza), injury, loss, damage or death that may occur to any dog attending TBRC for any service. Nothing in these terms excludes any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

Authorised collection – Your dog will only be released to people named on your customer record, including emergency contacts. To authorise someone else to collect your dog, email hello@thebellyrubclub.com.au with their name before pick-up or add it to your PetBoost Profile.

Late or missed collection – If a dog is not collected by closing time, TBRC staff will arrange overnight care and a $90 board and food fee will apply per night. Your dog can be collected from 9am the next morning. If not collected, a daycare fee will also apply for each additional day.

Abandoned dogs – A dog not collected within 7 days of its last booked service is considered abandoned. TBRC will follow its Abandoned Pet Procedure and may arrange suitable care for the dog, including releasing the dog to the local council or a rehoming group.

3. Bookings, casual care and cancellations

Bookings and availability – All bookings are subject to daily availability and TBRC's booking procedures. To maintain structured social groups and appropriate dog-to-handler ratios, TBRC may limit or refuse attendance requests.

Casual care – Casual daycare is available for occasional visits without a package or membership. Casual places depend on daily capacity and your dog's suitability on the day.

Cancellations – Bookings must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the session. Late cancellations incur a cancellation fee. TBRC may waive this fee at its discretion for unwell dogs or owners.

4. Pre-paid Day Packs

About Day Packs – Pre-paid Day Packs offer discounted pricing in exchange for a commitment to use the allocated visits. Package credits do not expire.

Package credits – Package credits cannot be refunded, exchanged for cash or transferred to another account, except as set out under Suitability below.

Package use – Packages are linked to the account holder and may be used by multiple dogs living in the same household, provided each dog is registered under the same client account and has been assessed as suitable for daycare.

Availability – Purchasing a package does not guarantee availability on any particular day. All package bookings remain subject to daily availability.

Suitability – If a dog is assessed as not suitable for daycare, TBRC will refund any pre-paid and unused daycare sessions.

Cancelling within the minimum term – If you cancel within the minimum term, the remaining weeks of that term are still payable.

Using your membership – Like a gym membership, it is the member's responsibility to use their reserved days and included benefits.

Member rates – Your membership rate is locked in for your minimum term. All members will be given at least 30 days' notice by email of any increase.

Transfers – Memberships cannot be transferred to a dog not named in the original booking, unless that dog lives in the same household and has been assessed as suitable for TBRC.

6. Payments and billing

Payment authority – You authorise TBRC to charge your nominated debit or credit card for any amount payable under your bookings, packages or membership. Payments are processed through Stripe. It is your responsibility to make sure sufficient funds are available. If a payment fails, you must arrange payment by another method, or make sure funds are available by an agreed time.

Outstanding balances – Any outstanding balance, including incidentals, add-ons or special services requested during your dog's stay, is payable on collection. This will be charged to your nominated card on the day of collection or the next working day.
