ANY injury no matter how small is immediately reported to our manager who decides whether it requires a trip to the vet. Most people on here think independent groomers are better than chain stores, and that is the case for some, but every groomer we've hired that came from an independent salon said at their other shop they used glue on cuts instead of taking them to a vet.
I agree, that is CRAZY. I don't know how it is physically possible to accidently cut OFF a dog's entire ear! I've cut dogs before - EVERY groomer in the world has accidently cut a dog before. But to cut an ear OFF?!?!
I own an independent grooming shop, and I take any animal to the vet that needs it. It doesn't happen often, but any grooming shop that tells you it NEVER happens is lying. I would never glue a cut that required vet care.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
