Okay, everyone has a bad day, but it is NEVER okay to take it out on a dog! As a groomer, I have dealt with angry, resistant, and aggressive dogs. Sometimes, you just need to put the dog away for a minute and let him/her relax. It is never alright to tug/pull on a dogs leg! I am just blown away with this video!
A woman dropped her dog off at the salon and expected her dog to be taken care of. She left and waited to hear back from the salon to pick up her dog. Another woman driving by happened to glance into the window connected to the salon. To her surprise, she sees this groomer, at first, being quite rough. Then as the dog gets more scared, the groomer continues to become more and more rough, slapping the table and yanking on the dogs leg. So hard that the dog yelps in pain.
The woman watching through the window, in utter disbelief, stops recording, parks, and goes into the store immediately to talk to the manager. The manager assures the woman that the employee will be talked to. The woman then goes home and puts the video on Facebook and it goes viral.
Petco has made an official statement; There are strict grooming protocol in place to ensure the safety and well-being of pets, and we are very concerned by the conduct of the groomer in the video. After a thorough investigation, this employee is no longer at Petco.
Watch the video below!
