I have been to many groomers that do the same "puppy cut" for all breeds of dogs....but just like with humans, a bob looks different on people w/ different types of hair. lol. I've also been to groomers that want me to drop my dog off for an appointment at 8am and then call me at 5:30 to tell me that he is ready. That's over 5 hours and completely unacceptable in my opinion. I don't mind leaving him for up to 3 hours, but over that is just unreasonable, because it shouldn't take more than 3 hours to groom a dog. I've also been to groomers that leave the dog unattended on the table to go and check out another customer.. all it takes is a second for that dog to jump off the table and hang itself.
I don't think she was direction her comment at you, but I for one do not trust MOST groomers. It's like when you bring your child to daycare or get it a babysitter...you don't know what someone is going to do to them when you are not there. |
What deaths of dogs at groomers?? OMG I have seen them just leave dogs on the table, that is scary as my Yorkie may try to jump, where as my Pom seems to know that isn't a good idea. They need a better restraint system.
