New York: Facebook pet owner warns against taking your pets to be groomed at PetSmart

NEW YORK -- There have been many stories about incidents happening at businesses that do grooming... so many that I have a tag for it ("boarding and grooming").

This post, from July, shows what happened to Kerry's sweet little dog when she took him to PetSmart for a SIMPLE GROOMING.

 

 

 

Actually, she's lucky her poor little Max wasn't killed. There have been horror stories of dogs left in dryers until they cooked to death, dogs beaten to death, etc. It's so rampant that I don't know that I would ever want to leave my dog with a groomer (see stories below).

This is an older photo of Little Max. Hope he recovers and doesn't suffer any traumatic memories of the abuse.

innocently it pulls its paw away from her.
