| Help!! The Groomer Hurt my Baby I took my baby to Petco to get groomed and they cut part of her tongue off. They are sending me to a vet that they deal with to make sure its not infected. I still paid for the service and even tipped the girl but when i saw my dog panting and part of her tongue was missing i freaked out... I called a lawyer.. Am i taking to far or would u do the same |

| OH MY GOD!!!! I couldn't BELIEVE that when I read it!!! How much of her tongue? How does she look to you? Take her to your own vet....it's probably like insurance companies sending you to their doctors. Oh dear! Please let us know how she is and what gets resovled! |

| OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! I would have freaked out and (knowing my extreme temper) slapped the hell out of that girl!! Your poor little baby! A piece of her tongue is missing now?? OMG I can't even imagine how painful that must have been for her. I would have ABSOLUTELY contacted a lawyer and there would be no way in hell that I would have paid and tipped that girl. They better give you a full refund and pay for any and all medical expenses that you incur. Codie and Katie send gentle kisses to your little one. I hope she feels better soon!

| Oh my! You are defintely NOT taking this too far. I just found out that Petco & PetSmart groomers dont have to be licensed ~ therefore i will never go there. Poor lil girl. Hope she's well and it's not infected. Please keep us updated. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMG ! I doubt I would have been able to control myself either ! They KNOW better and to accidently cut off part of your babies tongue is REALLY negligent and just plain STUPID - You have every right to be unbelievably mad AND contact an attorney - that is sick ! Your poor baby - that had to hurt so bad ! Man ...I've heard it all when it comes to Petco now - I would NEVER use them if they were the last groomer on the planet now....How sad for you - GOOD LUCK and I hope it heals ok - What a nightmare for you ! |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | that's a shame. hopefully your baby is okay. still can't understand how the accident happened...your lawyer will be able to direct you on the steps you should take. best of luck.
