Grooming dogs can be messy, difficult, downright unpleasant, and dangerous. For this reason, many owners choose to take their dogs to groomers. When regularly grooming moving animals like dogs with sharp equipment, there are some common dog grooming injuries that can occur. Even experienced pet groomers can't avoid injuries and accidents involving our canine friends.
However, when accidents happen, honesty is the best policy. If a dog is injured while you are grooming it, tell the owner. The discussions can be difficult, but it is important to have them. You need to tell the truth and don’t blame for anything because you are a professional groomer.
On the popular subreddit r/AmItheAsshole, the owner who goes by the name u/FINomenal999 shared his wife took their dog to get his hair cut at a groomer. They had gone to this groomer since they got their dog. Despite being a small salon in their town, they were satisfied with the shop owner and her service.
"Yesterday my wife took our dog to get his hair cut at the groomer. He’s a one-year-old, 5-pound morkie. We’ve gone to this groomer since we got him and we have family that takes their dogs there as well. She’s always been great (it’s a small business in a small town)," the husband wrote.
Nearly two hours later, his wife came to pick up the dog and spotted the dog injured. The new groomer said that she nicked two of his legs because he wasn’t holding still. She acted like the wound was not serious, so his wife paid the bill and got the dog home.
However, when she got in the car and took a closer look, one of the paw pads on his foot was hanging off. She rushed him to the vet, where he ended up needing stitches, antibiotics, and pain meds.
"As my wife is holding him on the way out his foot is bleeding all over her shirt. When she gets in the car and takes a closer look, one of the paw pads on his foot is hanging off. Of course, he’s whimpering. She rushed him to the vet and they said it was good she did. He ended up needing stitches (sedated him during this process), antibiotics, and pain meds. The vet said they could actually see one of his tendons."
After reading the post, Redditors quickly responded. Most of them sided with the OP and his wife and agreed that their decision was completely reasonable. They also slammed the groomer for her bad action. Some even advised the dog owners to sue her for the vet bill.
