| That is a deadly combination. Drying chambers should be banned. I will never forget the Yorkie who was severely injured in one.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | As far as I know they don't even have to tell the pet owner that's what's being used. I agree with you, they should be banned.

| If I had any doubts, I think I wld take him directly to the vet, tell him him what you suspect and see if he cld do a test to see if he had anything in his system. It may cost a few dollars, but at least you wld know for sure. |

| I would defiantly not go back there. I've heard of dogs being tired after the groomer and the owners thought it was because they had a bad time there. Never even thought it could be because they were drugged!! OMG how scary. |

| My groomer has suggested benedryl for Little Bit because he gets so nervous but we have yet to even try it.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I see nothing wrong with using it, it will make them sleepy, and more relaxed, the better the experience goes the next time there will be less anxiety. It's just that groomers should not use it without asking pet owners.

| If the owner agrees to it first with something like benedryl. But when you don't even know and they come home all drowsy that is not cool. |

| I always stick with the same groomer. Always, always, always. Getting one you can trust is not to be underappreciated, but also Ranger really needs the familiar surroundings. Abandoning him in some strange place is hard for both of us.

| I will say this, I worked at a boutique and grooming salon. Real Drugs where never used, but if the groomer felt like it, she would use this calming spray and the dogs would just be in a haze.The groomer was not bad, but i never took Ralph there. I also quit once I found out all of these things.My advice to any dog owner is to make sure you tour the whole grooming facility during business hours when they are grooming so you can see what goes on behind closed doors. |

| I say, you know your dog best! I would find someone new. I use a mobile groomer and won't ever use anything but a mobile anymore. He freaks when I carry him in there to her, but he does the same thing when we are going to the vets (and they've never hurt him, obviously, and I am with him the whole time). It's very normal for him to shake and be extremely nervous, but when he comes out and is done, he's extremely happy and energetic! But I like that he's right in my own driveway, I can peek in and look, hehe! And he's done in under an hour.

It was! They either sprayed it around the dog, or put it on there wrist and stick there wrist to the dogs nose. I mean that they would just stand on the table while they groomed them, so like they did not move or anything like that, and when they put them in the crates they would pass out, and when there owners came they showed no emotion. Which is just awful. When i got to leave up front I would go in the back (before I knew about the spray) and I would go back and hang out with the doggies, I would always ask if they could have a treat when they were dropped off and I would give the ones that could goodies and I would play with them, give them water and such if there owners where okay with it (most were) So they were realitivly calm when it was time to get groomed so i never witnessed the spray. Until I decided to take Ralph to get groomed there and we have cameras in the back so we can watch what goes on back there in the front and I see the groomer shaking a bottle of coins in my dogs face and then spray something so I go back there and I gave her a piece of my mind, then I shortly quit, soon after. There are some amazing groomers and some bad ones, but I would say always go to the back and get a full tour and ask questions, because its better safe then sorry. | |

| My dog came home lethargic once, but I later figured out that she was getting sick from the treats they gave her. I know they were just trying to be nice, but I was annoyed that they had upset her stomach. She was puking for two days after that. Did they perhaps feed him anything? I've been looking for a new groomer and one website I stumbled on said they did not drug their dogs. I had never even heard of that before then! |
