Groomers drugging pets during grooming? How can you tell? Is it common? Have you ever had a groomer do this to your pup? Max always comes back and may just be really tired from being groomed and the excitement but... he sure seemed extra tired today. We just got back from vacation and the groomer had to groom him early this morning because she got the pick up date wrong. He has slept the entire day. Mickey is a really good boy while being groomed and I notice he is tired when he gets home but as much as Max. Maybe I am being paranoid but it's not the first time the thought crossed my mind. |
Mine have never been groggy or overly tired coming back from the groomer. Our groomer is wonderful, and they are excited, happy, bouncy, and zooming when we get them after grooming. They do take naps later, but so do I! :D I am working on doing all my own grooming, though...not because my groomer isn't great but because I wanna...:p |
The boys were at the groomers for boarding while we were on vacation |
No...never had this happen....especially when they are good babies!!! Unacceptable!....at least as far as I am concerned, with no permission from owner! |
Where did u hear the groomers were doing this? |
I don't remember where I read about this before. Seems like I have (here or on Dogster maybe). Someone found out their groomer gave the pills like the ones given for traveling. My boys are good with grooming. So is our Persian cat. I should just learn to do it on my own. The nail clipping scares me the most. |
There was a pet store here at one time that employed a groomer and she used tranquilizers on some of the pets. She obtained them from a local vet's office. Fact not fiction. |
WHAT!!!!!???????? :eek::eek::eek: Oh my goodness! You are kidding me! Totally unacceptable in my eyes. My groomer would never do this. And I would be totally upset if she did. Especially if I wasn't aware of it. Good Lord! What is next! |
I think it does happen rarely. Have you stayed to watch? I groom my pups to avoid all of the possible horrors. |
I've heard of some using antihistamines. I just don’t think they should ever use anything without informing the owner. If a dog is too hyped up, they should not groom him unless the owner gives them permission to use something. |
I am so glad Callie gets groomed at our vets office and is such a good girl. Also know our vet would never go for that. But it is scary to think about. |
Years ago, our Airedale was drugged without our permission by the groomer we used. Our dog weighed 85 pounds and was probably difficult to deal with for grooming. Whatever was given to her never had any ill effect, so we never said anything. We continued to use the same groomer because she was really good and never injured our dog - no cuts with scissors or clippers, no bleeding toenails. I would never allow this today, and certainly not with a small dog. At the very least, we should have inquired what was being given to her so that we could check with our vet about the safety. We could tell our dog was drugged because she was very loopy and slightly uncoordinated when we would bring her home. It was obvious she was coming out of something. |
My babies are groomed monthly and I know they are not drugged b/c they act all frisky and feeling good. I do think if they are to be given something we should know before it is given... |
What's really bad, is that I've heard that the ones that drug often use the drying chambers, and this is a recipe for disaster. |
Wow, that is so crazy! I can tell our old groomer didn't do that by the way Princess would run out of there horrified every time.:eek::( Now with the new one she just seems a little shaken (typical for her). I'd flip if anyone drugged her. How would they know what meds or conditions these dogs are already on/have? It should definitely be up to the owner. |
