I finally decided to call Petsmart thinking hair grows, but not considering danger to them. Only last week did I learn that at that place on the day one of my yorkies was there, Smuggles, a bulldog, died there. Moreover, later that week a shih tsu also died at the same place. A third was injured. I live six miles away and never heard a thing. My friend in Michigan somehow found it on the internet and called me,
I am so unnerved and urge other uninformed dog owners to read about the incident and consider choices they might make in the future.

It probably depends on the location and the groomer. There are good and bad groomers everywhere. We switched to Petsmart grooming after signs of neglect and abuse at our first groomer and we have had no problems whatsoever since we switched to Petsmart three years ago. If there are problems at a particular location, it is probably due to the specific groomers they have at that location and not the fact that it's Petsmart. If you have a link to real news articles about the particular Petsmart location you are referring to, please post them so we can make our own informed decisions.
