Gina, maybe its time to consider grooming her yourself. I am by no means an expert, but have been grooming my two for awhile now. It does get easier each time and I know where they've been and what's been used on them. I'd rather they were a little scruffy but safe from dryers, sedatives, etc. (LOL, the only thing I get done professionally now is Ginger's nails. Everybody else lets me do their nails just fine...she has a cow)

Just a thought.

I would call them, they need to know if there was a problem. If no one ever calls to complain, then the same thing just keeps on happening.

Hey better safe than sorry. I am going to do Zoey myself. I think she will give groomer fits and they will hurt her.

Hi there. I sure hate to hear about your dog having those problems. I pray you don't have the problems we have with our sweet Scooter. I took him to a different groomer a year ago. (His current one was too busy, and recommended a friend of hers) I made my biggest mistake when I went to pick him up by not saying anything then. She had cut him so short that she nicked him down the whole length of his back. I wondered why she called me and told me not to pick him up for another hour. She was panicing about how to cover it up. Anyway, from that day on our baby has had skin allergies. He was not quite 2 when this happened. He twitches his head, rubs his whole body on the rug like he is itching to death. I have taken him to 2 different vets besides our regular one. They all said that it is possible that she used a blade in the clipper from another dog that had allergies and transferred them onto our dog.
I am still furious. I did confront her on the phone. She denied any wrong doing, of course. She said she had been trimming dogs for 35 years and never had a complaint.
His tummy skin gets red too. I have to give Scooter daily antihistimines. I bathe him in oatmeal shampoo. He has never had fleas. We give him flea medicine year round.
It makes me sick to see him suffer like that.
I wish you all the best and hope your baby gets well.

Aw Kathy first off welcome to YT. Oh man I would have been spitting mad. I would have sued her or put up fliers so people could know all about her. Odds are she doens't steralize her equipment. Very bad...you can pass on tons of things including ringworm and some types of mange like that.

[Lexi Rae]

im just gonna let it go... my b/f say oh what are you gonna do call them
and ask them what they did, like they are gonna tell you.. so its my word
against theirs.. whatever,, im pissed, my dog is itching and i feel like a bad
mommy, what else is new... gonna look into the dog mobile, i think they have
a lady who does it not too far from me.. and let me tell ya, the next time i see these other groomers, i will say something and i will see them. they are only a couple blocks away and in the summer time we pass them while on
our walking journey..

to the groomers in a year and this crap happens... they dont express
anal glands there, why, who knows, but its prob. the perfume or shampoo.
ive check for fleas, none..

I bring my own shampoo and conditioner when I take my kids to the groomer. Also, if she is scratching by her ears it could be because they got some water in them while they were giving her a bath.

Next time just bring Lexi's oatmeal shampoo and conditioner with her to the groomer.

[Lexi Rae]

there will be no next time... oh noooooooo..

Anyone can get a job grooming dogs. You don't even need a license. Scary huh? I'd go to the shop and have a talk with the groomer though. Let her know about your dog vomiting, about how terrible she smelled, ask if she expressed the anal glands, and if she says yes, ask her why, and ask about why the dog is extremely itchy and pink on her head. I'm not taking her side, but it could have been much worse. Someone here posted an artical about a groomer cutting off a third of the dogs ear and then superglueing it back on.
