| Butchered, Bleeding, and bald from groomers I took my little boy Diddy to the groomers this morning and I wish I wouldn't have. This was his 2nd time at this place and last time they did a wonderful job. This time it was horrible. He was there for 5 hours and when I picked him up he was shaking and scared. His face and feet are just butchered! It is completely bald and uneven between his eyes. When I got in the car I noticed blood all over my clothes. I took him back in and the guy said. "Oh it is just her nails bleeding, She was very very bad when I was cutting her nails." He just spent 5 hours with my dog and he never realized it was a male dog? Did he have to day he was bad? I feel like such a bad mommy for having Diddy go there and end up bleeding and his hair looks horrible! Now I need to find a different groomer. How am I going to ever feel safe taking my baby to a groomer? We are going to Woofstock tomorrow in Harrisburg PA and I was going to enter him in a costume contest. I guess now I can enter him in the scariest category. I am just so upset and don't know what to do.

| For now, just help Diddy to settle down and feel safe again. Give him extra love and a treat. Have you ever thought of grooming him yourself? Maybe your vet could at least show you how to trim nails. Your poor little boy... I'm sorry he had such a bad experience. If there is a supervisor or boss where you go, I would talk to them or write a letter. Letting a dog sit and bleed is totally unacceptable. |

| I was thinking about grooming him myself, I just don't know how. I am too scared to cut his nails myself, maybe I will have my vet show me and give it a shot.

| im SO sorry for you and your baby ! but since you seem like you don't really trust any groomer, did you ever think of doing it yourself ? maybe you can buy some grooming tools and read how to do it step-by-step so you control how you do it . when i take my baby to the vet, they just take him into the back and cut his nails and it comes out perfect ! good luck and god bless

| Poor Baby that makes me angry to hear such a thing...How the heck business allows to have so many un-professional groomers affecting the wealth of out love ones!!! I saw an episode once and I was very mad myself where the groomer had no tolerance and she was an a^^ with the puppy... I am sure he still lookes handsome Just give him hugs and kisses so he can feel protected by you & hopefully that bad experience can go away soon

| I'm sorry It's sad that there are so many bad groomers out there. Good Luck finding a good one - there are good ones out there - they are just hard to find. Hopefully his hair will grow back fast

| Oh no. NOthing is worse than a bad haircut. I would def. find a new groomer. And I would try to get my money back from that groomer seeing how he didn't do a good job, and your baby came out bleeding. Thats why I am soo scared to take mine to the groomers, I do most of it myself. Sorry you had a bad experience! |

| Good luck on finding a professional groomer who cares and is not in it only for the $$$$$. Hope you went off on that groomer and demanded a refund? Man, it would have been difficult not to get personal and in that person's face. What a jerk! Hugs to your little guy.
