I've taken a lot of my fosters to this vet, and I always ask them if they were good while they were there. Sometimes they will say the one that is usually well behaved was the worst one! I wasn't in there to witness it, so how do I know if it's true? Like if I think my dog would never bite, and they tell me he did. I don't know if I could believe that. |
So did she ever say the dog tried to bite & charged you more? If the dog really bit, it would've broken skin. Usually, they give you a warning bite, just a slight nip, it doesn't break skin.
IDKnow why she would charge more, all she needs to do is put a muzzle on the dog (only for short period) or stand away from the dog's head & get the grooming done. The dog won't try to bite the whole time, it would be certain things they don't like, like nail clipping or the blow dryer. Unless the dog doesn't like being touched by strangers @ all.
