That's so aweful!! I know it happens, but it just blows me away that groomers sedate dogs without the owner's permission...honestly, they shouldn't be sedating any dogs period! When I worked for a grooming shop/dog boutique, some owners brought their dogs in sedated but the owner or a vet had to do it - NOT a groomer! Seriously, the more I read about grooming experiences, the more I think I will NEVER take my dogs to a groomer ever again once I leave College Station (I know the owner and groomers at the store here where I used to work and trust them)...but I think I would be scared to death to leave my baby at a groomer I didn't know...sedation, shaving, accidents..ugh..it's scary. That poor dog...I feel so bad for it and all the people involved

What's going to happen to that groomer?
