So mad at groomer

[Rhetts_mama]

OMG- I'm so sorry this happened. How could they not at least call you and let you know it happened and given you the option of taking her to the vet right away? Accidents DO happen, but the way they failed to handle this is unacceptable.

Total negligence that they thought you wouldn't find it and realize that it was them that had done that.

Poor baby, don't you wish sometimes they could talk and tell us everything?
I ususally stay with Pixie at the groomers. I have been doing that since she was about 12 weeks at her first visit. Find a groomer that will let you help hold your baby while it is being groomed. I bathe Pixie myself and bring her to the groomers and I stay and help hold Pixie. Pixie is getting use to the groomer and eventually I will let her stay bc I totally trust my groomer.
Daisy On the other hand is 6 yrs old and she gets the works but I pick her up as soon as she is done about and hr or so.

These groomers scare me. I'm planning on taking my girl Zoey soon and I'll make sure that I stay with her and can hold her! That's terrible. The poor little thing must have been so scared and hurt and then for them not even to tell you what happened but for you to have to find the cut yourself!

So sorry this happened to your baby. This is the reason I refuse to take my babies to groomer after groomer "to find the right one" My babies are not guinea pigs. I now do it myself!!

Unfortunatly I am not on my computer but I have pictures of my Coco's ear. They "niked" it. Yeah they took half of it off.!!!

Oh my goodness that is terrible, where did your baby get cut?

[YorkieD]

wow, these stories are horrible. not only worried about the "nicking/cutting" but if this does happen does the groomer clean/disinfect the cut? They probably don't sterilize the tools they use either & infection could set in quickly. I won't be taking my yorkie to a groomer. I use to take my "Toy Poodle" years ago & when I asked how they would keep her still, the guy just said "Oh, we have our ways!" I never took her back.

I took her to the vet today, and she had to get four stitches. I brought the bill to the groomer, and she paid it, but that's not the point. Suiki is very shy and timid, and if they couldn't groom her which they have done several times before they should have called me. Don't you think? She is actually bald in some places. Needless to say I didn't pay for the hair cut. I'll never go back there again, and when I find a new groomer I will explain what happened, and ask if I can stay with her while she's groomed.

They cut her to the bone ? That isn't a 'nick' - wow

I'd be upset too - if they couldn't handle her they should have asked you to pick her up . There are mobile groomers you can try and other groomers that may be much more gentle. What I did when I first got my Chanel was just pop into places to 'see' how the dogs were treated -- then after visiting several places - I would go back and ask more questions. I did find ONE but have since moved so no longer have a good groomer anymore. (well I found one near my place but they use those heaters)

fyi - never go to one who uses drying heaters in a cage !! Ask for blow dries with a hair dryer - those heaters are death traps.

I had a bad experience with a groomer years ago and now groom myself

Finally was able topry my computer away from my son to post a picture of Coco's ear..
Good thing his hair grew over it but I know it's there and it bothers me to think that they hurt my baby!!! He must have been so scared!!

[Yorkiekids]

I had to take Suiki back to the vets today, and they had to put a cast on her leg, because it kept tearing open. It's right on her elbow, and the vet said, because she keeps moving it we were better off putting a soft cast on it. What next?

[StacyDufner]

OMG that poor baby. Please make sure you let everyone you can know not to go to that groomer. That is just pure carelessness. I hope your little one gets better soon.

[Mom2Kobe]

Awe, you and your poor baby. I can't imagine what I would do if a groomer did that to Kobe, I'm protective of my furbabies & skin kids. I would of caused a scene.

I groom him myself because I currently don't trust anyone enough to leave him anymore... i just started so he looks crazy most of the time...LOL but not hurt or miss treated

[jadabug]

Oh my goodness!! I am just now seeing this and I am so sorry for what happened to your precious baby. I too am so afraid to take mine back to a groomers. I got upset with mine when she shaved their noses. I do my own grooming now, and no they aren't perfect but they are not traumatized and if I mess their hair up it will grow back. We live in a very rural community and there aren't but a couple of groomers around and I don't really trust any of them. I can't imagine them getting cut to the bone!! I hope she heals soon. Bless her little heart.

OMG...this looks horrible. I you sure that it isn't infected? That groomer should be hung by the ??? Hope your baby will be ok.

Thanks this happened a while ago. He has never been to a groomer again. That was only the first time!! He is fine now and thank goodness his hair covers it.
