I take my Maltese to the groomer to get done. I can't handle her hair! My Sr. Yorkie is too old to be left in a grooming shop. He's got a grade four heart murmur that is cranial, whatever that means, and I would not dare take him anywhere except the vet for anything! I am shocked that he lived through four weeks of the local pound! |
Thats such a tragedy, I don't know what I would do if that happened to me. Even if they pay for another dog for the woman, it cannot replace her dog. That is such negligence on the part of the assistant because you can't leave a dog in a tub unattended just like you wouldn't leave a child. Don't you think a dog would cry if it had hung itself? you would think she would have heard something and come back to check on it. I am always hesitant to take my dogs to the groomer and now I'll think again. I remember watching a yorkie getting groomed at petsmart where you can watch most of it going on and seeing a groomer scolding the yorkie for pooping, which I'm sure the poor dog couldn't hold any longer. I mostly groom my dogs myself, and I'm not that good at it but its better than ending up with something like this |

Yes, my husband will not let me leave our babies, I used to have to wait there. Now I found this wonderful mobile groomer in CA. Loved her and she loved my babies. I moved to Lake Havasu Arizona and found another mobile groomer husband and wife team. They do my three yorkies every 3 weeks and get their total attention. |

scrappy I'm so glad one of the fellow groomer stepped up and said this,I 'm also a groomer, you girls act like we are all out there to hurt your babies.We would not be in the buisness if we did not love dogs. We sure are not in there for the money. There are some this is just a job.But most are not. It makes me so angry when people talk about groomers,I;ve been grooming for 15 yrs and I love my job and my clients,I'm so sorry this had happen to scrappy.I know it is like a child. to his mom. But have some respect for groomer. They work ahard at making your baby beautiful, they do the job you could not .Because he wont hold still. I;m just so sick of you grils bashing the groomers. As I said soooo sorry for Scrappy and his mom. |

God bless this owner for her great loss |
We groom all our dogs ourselves too,we also had something like that happen here a animal was suffocated by Being left in a laundry box. |
This is one of the reasons that Ellie gets groomed at home. Even the best groomers probably look away on occasion and that isn't going to work for me when my dog has a noose around her neck. About letting the dog sit in a medicated shampoo, they shouldn't be left AT ALL. Their head should be held. What if they lick it off?:eek::eek: |
I know I am late to this thread but I could have fainted when I read this. If it were my business, I would have fired the assistant. There are a lot of people that need a job even back when this happened. I think she is not telling the truth when she said the dogs death had nothing to do with her decision to possibly move to Florida. I bet she will change her business name once she moves. I feel bad for the owner but not for the assistant. Common sense tells you that a dog could leap out of somewhere he doesn't want to be. |
Every profession has its bad apples. My daughter's hair, when she was little, always looked like crap. No way I'm gonna try to do my furbabies. That and I don't do anal glands...just ain't going there...LOL I've been very lucky to find a wonderful groomer. She has been doing my boys ever since I got them and at a very reasonable rate. One time I needed a quickie and she wasn't available, went elsewhere and Baxter got a bad cut, and he got nicked and she didn't bother to tell me. Went right back to my usual. My girls have gone for nail clippings and a couple of butt trims. When they get enough hair they'll become regulars. She doesn't keep them all day, she does 80lb Bear and 10lb Baxter in under 2hrs and for 55 bucks. The bathing area is visible from the front desk. I know some shops keep the shampoo area hidden and lets no one in there, which would be a big red flag. I think maybe part of the key is to look for the equivalent of mom and pop salons. The stand alone shops. They are probably working more for the love of the animals than the bonus incentives the chain offers. oh yeah..mine also doesn't answer the phone while working..lol There are good groomers out there and they are especially for consumers like me! I cannot imagine what this woman is going through to come back to pickup her baby and get such devastating news. The callousness of the owner just doesn't sound right for grooming professional. It does sound like someone who is working for a major chain of impersonal grooming salons, or used to. Same mind set. |
I am personally just upset how people think that putting a price tag on a tragedy makes everything ok ,well money wont bring back a pet that you have invested many years of love ,happiness and joy I am SADDENED to know that there are negligent groomers who just dont realize how important our pets really are to us its just not that easy to say ....oh I will pay for the damages or a replacement , I dont use a groomers myself but I must say if I did I would check it out as if I was leaving my child at a daycare i would therally evaluate the place and the groomers would know to make sure that nothing happened to any of my babies also it is some good groomers out here but just as we feel our babies are everything we must take the extra step and research who we will let care for our babies after all they are like our children |
i think when the time comes for full grooming i'll just make a Saturday trip up to see my cousin and let her do Sadie. i don't trust anyone but her at this point! she doesn't use the noose, she's just good at her job. and i wouldn't have to kennel just stay right there with her the whole time and watch. |
Oh my gosh how freakin sad :( I would be beyond consolable if that happened to one of my boys. I love my groomers, they are great. But wow... things like this make me afraid! |
I\'m glad to see this come around again. It gives me the chance to tell you all how wonderful my groomer is. Our vet uses her so we tried her out. What a wonderful person. A real animal lover. I remember one time she was almost in tears telling me that she had cut one of Ivan\'s nails to short and it had been bleeding. Then she didn\'t want to charge me for his grooming. And our shy little puppy mill shih Tzu who hates to be around people other than us absolutely loves her! You should see her tail wag when she sees the shop through the car window. To our groomer members: There are bad groomers out there just as there are bad yorkie owners and please, you must not take the criticism personally. Just do your best to be the great groomer your clients talk about. |
