Check Out Your Pet's Groomer
I recently received an email from one of our readers warning about animal groomers.
She advised that owners should be careful of the groomers that they use, as many are not licensed or qualified and can cause harm to your pets.
She wrote…
"I was reading your blog and thought you should be aware of something so you can tell your readers. I have some very heartbreaking news to tell you today, but luckily there is something we can do. In Canada, there have been a number of cases of reported Animal Cruelty within the dog grooming community, including one specific case that is outlined on this website. They claim that a former prostitute decided to open up a grooming shop, and not only did a dog pass away immediately after she worked with it, but apparently she also lied about where she was boarding dogs for weekends, leaving them to just wander unattended in her shop! This next part may be difficult to hear, but there were also reports of dogs being beaten when they were groomed :-( It breaks my heart to hear about stories like this, but this site is going to make a law in Canada so that they can have dog groomers licensed!
Regardless of anything else if it can help stop animal cruelty then I would sign their petition in a second! The website is http://www.paulahatton.ca for those who want to sign."
A very concerned,
