Bad groomer tales...

[Alysser]

A groomer right around the corner from me once called, Just Grooming, was sued several times in the past. One time the lady left a plug in the cage with a dog, a maltese, the dog chewed on it and was electrucuted/killed. One time she ripped part of a dogs lip off, and another time the dog nearly bled to death because his nail was ripped out while she was grooming him. Needless to say after the first incident we stopped going to her and found great groomers. My parents even became friends with them.

Wow - that's a lot of horror stories - and from just a few people. It's really frightening to think about how much really goes on that we never hear about. How sad, that in an effort to give our dogs the best care, that they are being mistreated and even seriously abused, by some of those that we trust to care for them.
My heart breaks for people that have had pets maimed or killed by these people that are in business only for the almighty dollar, and not for the love of the pet. How sad indeed.
