First things first........What did the vet say? Is he okay?
I agree that a lawsuite may not be the right thing to do. Even in this matter rather you think of you pet as a baby or not, the court will not agree. I would however make them pay for any costs such as vets bills.........
I argee with another post on here, With the economy the way it is, Loss of business would be worse for them in the long run.
But I would be reporting this to the BBB, and I would also Print out flyers of the "accident" with a picture of my dogs ear and let the whole town know what kind of "groomer" they are. That alone would hurt them more in the pocket books then a lawsuit would.........
If this were just a little snip and was honestly an accident and they were up front about it, I would accept thier that and let them pay the vet bills. But being that they hid it from you and then said.........."its only a little cut"............ I would have handled it verry different. I would have been right back up there that day showing them its not only a little cut.... Maybe even scare a few of thier clients waiting to get their pets groomed away. then take my baby to the vet and send them a copy of the vets bill,
What ever the case is. I hope your baby is okay. |
