| So mad at groomer I brought Skippy and my poodle to the groomers Monday. When she handed me Suiki she let out a little yelp. I asked what was the matter, and the groomer said oh we knicked her a little, because she wouldn't stand up. It was no knick it was a cut through to the bone. I took her to the vet today, and she had to get four stitches. I brought the bill to the groomer, and she paid it, but that's not the point. Suiki is very shy and timid, and if they couldn't groom her which they have done several times before they should have called me. Don't you think? She is actually bald in some places. Needless to say I didn't pay for the hair cut. I'll never go back there again, and when I find a new groomer I will explain what happened, and ask if I can stay with her while she's groomed.

| So sorry this happened to you. Glad the groomer at least paid the bills. Your baby will probably be even worse at the groomers now... so make sure you find someone who is very understanding and can work slowly with her to build up here trust again... My baby had one bad experience at the groomer and it took a number of visits with the new groomer to get him to a point where he behaves and doesnt freak out!

| Cut to the bone!? Thank goodness your baby is okay now with the stitches. Poor baby and poor you. Hope she makes a speedy recovery. |

Yorkie Talker | I am so sorry you and your baby had to go through that! I'm glad to hear that they paid the vet bill at least, however that doesn't make up for what happened! I hope you and your pup are doing well! Nicole and Tanner |

| I'm so sorry this happened, we stopped going to the groomer after they left our sheltie alone tied to the table and she slipped off and now has permanent hip damage. They said it was the dogs fault because she didn't stay still while they answered the phone. We now have a mobile groomer, who couldn't be better. She's never is more than a step away from the dog, and can reach out and touch them at all times. It took some time for Isabella to trust her, but she just took it slow and gave her some treats that I gave her. Now my dogs greet her with kisses and can't wait for their turn to be groomed. The sheltie gets done ever two weeks and the maltese and little Sofia get done about every 6 weeks. I hope you find a groomer who has a better understanding of how to handle dogs. I hope you little one feels better soon. |

| Goodness they should have call you immediately so you could have taken her to the vet ASAP. Glad they paid for the bill but that's still awful. Sorry you went through that.

| OH my Your poor baby!!! My girls have gotten nicked once or twice each, but they are wiggly, and it wasn't severe enough to require stitches. They put surgical glue on the nick and good as new. But to the BONE?!?! WOW! Any groomer, imho, that WON'T let you stay and watch---is to be avoided at all costs. I'm very fortunate that the place where I take my girls has an open door policy and they let you hang out, if you want to. I usually don't any more, as my two act up if I'm there

| I'm sorry this happened to your dog. I can't believe the groomer didn't immediately take her to the vet! It's people like that who give us a bad name...Luckily enough we have a vet on hand when accidents happen, because they do, but they should be handled accordingly. I suggest you put out a review on that grooming place! Warn other people of how they treat their pups!

Geez, would they leave a child on the table while they answered the phone? I hope your baby won't be too traumatized.

♥ Catherine My Love ♥ Donating Member | OMG, horrifying. I do everything myself now, too. But, come on! They should have called you immediately and taken your baby to the vet. If 4 stitches were needed, I can only imagine the scene when Suiki got cut.

| I know I couldn't believe their response, "She should have just stood still, I was coming back". I thought my husband was going to loose it with this lady, so I had to get him out of the shop. We have sense made sure that everyone knows about their disregard for the animals welfare. Some people are not meant to deal with living beings. |

| Wow they should of brought her to the vet themselves! Goodness I can't even imagine how upset you are, I would of flipped a lid! I'm glad your baby is alright now. I read too many of these scarey stories and this is why I do grooming myself at home and take all day if I have to while giving them breaks to relax and treats. |

| OMG I am so sorry this happened!! Something similar happened here to the groomer that we took Roxy too. The lady didn't know what she was doing and cut a hole into a dogs leg. When I heard that Roxy never went back. Even though my chop shop cuts aren't the prettiest, they are safe on my babies. You never know what happens at the groomers. I hope your baby is doing well.
