[What posesses people to do such things..?!*WARNING:contains graphic info*]

[zoey]

This is so sad. *cries*
I'm trying to imagine what it's like for the owner and the other sheltie to go through this.
There should be a test to see how much a particular dog can take of the sedative; that amount always being adhered to, or it's jail time and a steep fine for the groomer. Zero tolerance!
BTW, does anyone know if groomers get taught about giving medication when they get licensed?

I really am speechless. Those poor dogs

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.

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?
