So, since the puppy would not sit still to be groomed, the groomer started hitting the puppy until it became limp and blood came out of its nose. The puppy passed out and the groomer thought the puppy was dead. The puppy just passed out, thankfully. He was easy to groom after that because he was comatose the rest of the day. The owners picked him up about 4 hours later. Unless you can see your dog being groomed, I wouldnt even take a chance leaving your Yorkie with a groomer. The grooming supplies are a little pricey up front, but in the long run, it is cheaper to buy them than it is to go to a groomer for the life of the puppy. Grooming Yorkies is not hard and you get to spend quality time with your pet.
Just a thought. Lynn

Wow that's aweful! What a terrible person. I hope you reported her. Did the owners know their puppy was hurt when they picked it up? Did you hear if it was okay after that? I would have quit there on the spot and made sure the owner of that puppy knew exactly what happened. Someone should hit her in the head until she passes out and has blood coming out of her nose!
