This is the text conversation I had with the owner after picking up my dog. Who he had groomed other times.
I don't understand She was there for over 4 and a half hours and not even started her hair cut?
Because as we stated, she urinated on herself, starting the whole bath and brush and dry again. I won't touch my tools to a dog that has urine on it. I hope you have a great day, and best of luck on your search for another groomer. I'm sorry we didn't work out, and at the very least, you have a cleaned dog:)
Of course you wouldn't clip a dogs hair with urine on it but that begs the question how did she get urine on her? Your assistant was rather curt! When I asked he said it happens then started repeating "Do you want to take your dog home" When I asked how much longer he said 45 minutes. We had concert tickets and I needed her by 4. He ran over to you asked if that was possible then came back and said repeating over and over " Do you want to take your dog?" I had the distinct feeling he wanted me to take my dog. He said no charge do you want to take your dog? Bubbie is a sweet girl. She never goes to the bathroom indoors. When she urinates outside she doesn't get it anywhere on her body. So how did she have urine on her body? If she had gotten it on her feet couldn't they just wash her feet? Was she left for so long unattended that she finally had to lay down in her own urine? Was the space she was in so small she couldn't move away from it? If you are the animal lover you appear to be in the photos on your wall? These questions you might have for your assistants. Just saying it didn't make sense!
No, it appears she wasn't adequately walked before her grooming. The cages are three times the size of the dog at least. You received a free bath, and best of luck on your search for another groomer:)
And yes, she is a sweet girl, just too much coat for my salon to handle. I may suggest you trying Captain Jacks grooming in North Hollywood. I used to work there, and they have great groomers:)
She had been on a three mile hike, had both urinated and deficated and had been combed out to remove the fox tails and burs she picks up before she went to your salon. I picked 11am so as not to interrupt her regular routine. We wash her every two to three weeks ourselves because she is an active runs around outdoorsy dog. The hair cut was the important item! The bath won't last but a day or two.You still haven't explained how she got urine all over herself? Yes obviously we will find a different groomer as you don't appear to be concerned with what happened!
There is no cause for concern, nothing happened except that she had two baths. I wish you nothing but the best:):):):)
