Holy crap! Some people!?!!? She can kill 2 dogs and still stand up for herself? I hope she serves time.

[jackie]

absolutely disgusting.

If the lawsuits won't stop them, why hasn't anyone complained to the Better Business Bureau? Filing a complaint with the BBB is a simple process of filling out a form on their website. I've done it. They act VERY swiftly.

thats horrible. thats why at our shop, we dont sedate any of the dogs at all. if a dog needs a sedative, the owner has to get them at the vets', administer them to the dog, then comin in.

there have been rumors that all groomin shops use them, so ive had my fair share of conversations correcting this statement.

[Catty1]

Have the local news media been notifed? This would be really interesting to them...and would result in a HUGE boycott!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Now that is just sick, and cruel... That groomer needs to be put to justice...

[Lady's Human]

Pardon my ignorancce, but what the heck is a groomer doing administering sedatives in the first place? twould seem to me that that's a DVM's field, not the groomer.

[dontchakit]

GROOAHAHA!!! I cant believe this! They should totally be shut down! You would think that the owner would have learned the first time this happened!

*taking a breath

I feel sorry to the man that lost his dog! I just cant believe it...there are no words to describe.

Today I'll be getting the info to contact the media. I'll most likely write them a letter, and tell them the basic details, then direct them to the man who owns the reliable petstore that told us the info. He can then direct them to the man who owned the two shelties.
I'll do as much as I can, though since I wasn't directly involved in the situation, I won't be able to see how the whole case is going against the groomer. I'll just have to hear it second hand.
I'll update you all if there is any news.

[shihtzulover850]

ggrr how can people ignore that!!!!! grrrr why would anyone do that!!!!!!!!!

[Muddy4paws]

OMG what an iresponsible B***h!

No 1. I think sedation should be left up to vets to do, I dont think a groomers in the place for sedating an animal, I know we will refuse to do certain dogs and we get VERY angry customers for example a man started getting verbally abusive because we refused to do his dog without a sedative and even he couldnt control the dog while he was standing shouting at us

No 2. Sedative should be taken as a last resort, there are many ways to calm down a dog and it might take more time but I think its worth spending time on a nervous dog rather than drugging the poor thing everytime!

No 3. Who the hell does she think she is?! Did she really think she would get away with only giving back one dog?! I would defiantly be doing time If I found out someone did that to my dog especially drugging my dog without permission!


Ugh this has really got to me, I feel sick thinking about how cruel that nasty "thing" could be, I get so upset when I cut a dogs toenail too short and that is very rare when I do! I cant imagine any REAL groomer would be able to just continue after killing a dog.

[Catty1]

Chili - what happened with the media thing?

WHAT?!! You don't show up for court and all they get was a fine? Here, if you miss a court date they put a warrant out for your arrest.

I can't believe that woman has a job. I can't believe nothing has been done about this. Do you have anything like the "better business bureau" ? where consumers can lodge complaints against companies like that?

[Chilli]

Sorry for lack of update, I had no idea this thread was still alive and was about to revive it with an update later this week, but I'll go ahead and give one now.
We tried to contact the media, but they said that since we don't have direct contact with the owner of the shelties, that they aren't going to go into in. I thought you could go ahead and cover a story without having the owner of the shelties, but they told us otherwise. I really hate alot of things down here... when talking to them, it really sounded like they didn't care about the story because it delt with animals. It seems like no one around here has any passion for pets and animals.
I'm not sure where everything stands according to legal stuff and the court, but its obvious the store is shutting down. We drove by and on the windows was "Sale" written very large. We stopped in to see how drastic the sale was, and they had alot of fish marked down to .99 cents... which is a BIG drop in price. Most everything is marked down, like they are trying to get rid of everything. They even sold a ferret, with everything included (a huge cage, carrying cage, toys, leashes, collars, etc.) for $180 when it would normally sell for over $250. I understand now, why they sold us a lovebird for only $35... we bought the lovebird right before we found out about the whole ordeal.
So.. I'm unsure if we have a Better Bussiness Bureau around here... I'm sure we do, but how would we contact them?
