Years ago, our Airedale was drugged without our permission by the groomer we used. Our dog weighed 85 pounds and was probably difficult to deal with for grooming. Whatever was given to her never had any ill effect, so we never said anything. We continued to use the same groomer because she was really good and never injured our dog - no cuts with scissors or clippers, no bleeding toenails.
I would never allow this today, and certainly not with a small dog. At the very least, we should have inquired what was being given to her so that we could check with our vet about the safety.
We could tell our dog was drugged because she was very loopy and slightly uncoordinated when we would bring her home. It was obvious she was coming out of something.
