Dog killed by groomer

[nanahas3]

I posted their interview the day it happened. Another thing that saddens me is that they can't even get animal control involved according to the video in our area .

That is the video of when it happened.

I would be going to jail,plain and simple. If the groomer thought that she feared for her life from a little pup. Try an angry/crazed furbaby mommie. This is why noone handles my dogs grooming but me.

I can't read this, I can tell by the title.

Petsmart has a big picture window where you can stand and watch the grooming. Bathing is another thing, that is done in the back. I go to small local groomer for basic stuff like feet and nails, do the rest myself, but I sit and wait & can stand at the half-door and watch. If you use petsmart, just bathe him yourself then stand and watch. They can see you watching. I have never had any trouble with our local petsmart. They do a good job, but all I ever have there is the "touch up package".

after I posted I was thinking about the petsmart window. But I was wondering if you drop them off for just a cut do they do that right away. I know some groomers can keep your pup half a day or longer.

Yes! We love our mobile groomer!

So sad.

I can't believe someone could be so horrible! And how in the world could anyone "fear for their life" with a 8 lb Maltese. I won't even post what should be done to this woman!

I feel like I can't escape from hearing about animal cruelty, just this morning the news reported of a fox terrier found wondering around a park that had been partially skinned alive. The poor dog is in critical condition at an ER vet in Ann Arbor MI. I have felt sick since yesterday after readying this thread along with several other disturbing ones on YT and now this fox terrier, it just so sad, my heart hurts.

What a sad story!!! It begs the question - how many others are we not aware of? It sure makes me want to groom my own. I was sort of thinking of doing this before... and now I will definitely do this on my own. My Bailey is 7.4 lbs and I pay $50 Cdn. for grooming (nails cut included)!! Apart from the expense, I certainly would be beside myself if this happened to me. So sorry for that couple... how awful!!

Makes me sick to my stomach . I'm so glad we don't go to groomers. I realize most groomers are wonderful...but to me, it's not worth the risk...not even for 1 second.

Those poor people, they should be posting a photo of the groomer so no one at an animal clinic or shelter hires her. The poor wee dog

It's disturbing to see how many stories like this their are. The hospital should be held responsible, and they should have done everything possible to save that poor dog. I find it a bit odd that the owners of the dog still praise the vet and are getting another puppy this week.
