Dog's Ear Severed & Glued On By Groomer

[wolf_Q]

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.

I never said you would do that or that all independent groomers are bad (I can't count how many people have said all Petco/Petsmart groomers are horrible. I guarantee if it happened at one of those everyone would be saying that again. )....that's just been the case with several groomers we've hired locally that came from independent shops. Finding good people around here is really difficult. I never in any way meant to imply anything bad about your shop, just my personal experience with the independent groomers I have worked with. I agree, any grooming salon that says cuts never happen are lying, it happens...but this case was no simple accident...poor dog.

I know you weren't implying that. I didn't mean to imply that you were implying. LOL

And I agree ... not a simple accident at all.
