Today I took my 5 year old Chihuahua Chupacabra to the groomer.
He''s been to this shop many times over the last 3 years and typically has the same pet-stylist work on him (an older lady who seems nice).
Last time he was there, one of the workers let it slip that they had had him out of the cage "playing" for a portion of his stay there without my permission, some children were at the shop and loved him. While I opted to let it slide because they do a lovely job on him, I was slightly bothered because of all the "what if''s" that play a factor in children playing with Chihuahuas.
But today, when my husband picked him from the groomer, he had a decent amount of vomit in his hair by his ear and around his mouth. He was extremely clingy and shaking (the shaking isn''t unusual, but the clinginess is.) Since he was home already, I couldn''t do anything aside from put him right into the tub.
I was heartbroken, and even cried...since obviously something happened to make him freak out. I am angry this wasn''t mentioned...I mean how could the groomer not notice vomit in the dogs hair???? My husband didn''t notice the vomit intially because Chup''s was taken from the groomer in a cage--it was raining here.
I''ve placed a call to the grooming salon, and they haven''t called me back. When they do, what should I do? Is there anything? Obviously I''m switching groomers...he will never return there....but what else?
TIA
