Oh your poor baby and those poor dogs.
How dare she slam the cages like that!!!
It's tough enough for us to drop our dogs off at a new groomer and place our trust in them.But...........
It's even harder on our furkids.
My first experience was not only infuriating but a nightmare.
My Yorkie's first grooming was to say the least, the worst experience for both of us.
Jack was 16 weeks old when I took him in for his first grooming.
Upon picking him up, he looked wonderful but I noticed something was off.
He had been shaking and when I took him home, my baby was limping.
I picked him up and checked out his back leg and paw.
The leg was fine but he wouldn't let me go near his paw.
I figured maybe it was aggrivated from his nail clipping.
We all know how much our babies hate that...
Well the next day he was still limping so I said thats it and took him right in to our local vet.
After examining him, the vet concluded that his paw was fractured.
She said some groomers are not careful when clipping their nails and fractured his back right paw.
Well thats all I needed to hear.
When we got home, I phoned her and tried to explain what had happened.
She said she was sorry and dared to tell me that this happens alot ,especially with the small breeds because they are figidy.?????????????
Yeah right!!
Needless to say, I told her to go back to school and develope some handling skills.
This was not normal and I will never bring Jack back there.
Since that experience, to this day, Jack doesn't like any of his paws touched.
The experience traumatized him and I learned how to clip his nails.
It takes me awhile because, I try to be as gentle as I can and stop to give him a break, when he gets too anxious.
