Petsmart groomers are HORRIBLE!  They killed by friends dog too! It happened a few years ago but it still happened! She dropped her off perfectly healthy and was called a few hours later to come back to the store and they told her the dog was DEAD! They did treat her better afterward and offered a new puppy but she still had a dead dog after a grooming at Petsmart. I have told the story before of how they treated Pebbles when she was a puppy. I would not recommend anyone using them. BTW these were 2 different stores in different states that these happened at.  |
Honestly, I do not think it is actually the "petsmart" that is killing these dogs .It is the people resonsible for them ! We trust our groomers and leave them in the hands of people who are suppose to be professionals. That is the problem. It is nearly impossible to tell if the person will be cautious and loving towards our pets!
YES, things happen and tragidies occur. However, to say it is all Petsmart groomers is not a fair statement. Like any profession there are going to be peolpe far more better then others, far more concerned and careful for the safety and well being of animals.
The place I have taken Suzi is a Petsmart. Before even considering leaving her there I observed the groomers carefully... There behavior, there techniques and watched them like a hawk on serveral occasions .
i found one groomer very good. He gentle and careful. He was exceptional. And a few other groomers were too. I stayed there and watched when Suzi was groomed the first time... The second time I was able to leave and the groomer told me what a well behave, wonderful little dog she is , there were no problems what so ever. It is like leaving my child on the first day on preschool. Very nerve racking for me to have my beloved Yorkie groomed and to leave.
What I am trying to get my point accross , it is not always the place , but the actual people handeling and grooming! They are NOT always terrible and horrible.
I know there is always exceptions , and we need to be very cautious who we as owners allow handeling our precious yorkies. Perhaps I just fot lucky at a petsmart.
