Why separate private notes from owner summaries?
A groomer may need candid internal observations for continuity, while the owner needs a concise and professional explanation of the finished groom. Keeping these purposes separate reduces accidental disclosure and makes the final handoff easier to review.
What belongs in the owner summary?
Describe the finished look, coat feel, notable requested changes, and a practical next-visit suggestion. Avoid veterinary diagnosis: grooming observations are not medical advice.
What should you check before sharing a report?
Confirm the client and pet, review every visible note and photo, and choose a secure destination. A shared or printed copy exists outside the originating app and must be managed separately.
This checklist reflects the GroomRecall workflow and is general operational guidance, not veterinary, legal, or records-retention advice.
