I concur it may have been done on purpose or through just uncaring and neglect. There is absolutely no way they can repay the owners with money for the loss of a beloved pet. My dog was injured when I left her in their care for grooming, but I did get to take her home. BEWARE OF PETSMART do not go there!

They really need to come up with a Safety Procedure. I really feel bad for the owners, but I dont think this was done on purpose. They really need to come up with a Safety Procedure.

Some grooming departments are in he back of the store and others are in the front. Some groomers seem to genuinely care about the dogs and others don't. I take a lot of time to interview my groomer and fire them when I find them sub par. This situation is terrible and ITA w/Stephani. Petsmart needs to respond with their commitment to take steps to avoid a recurrence. I’ve used PetsMarts for years and had few problems.

Please do not classify all of us in the same category Mittens: I would like to correct you in that there ARE many people who groom that love your pets and do everything in their power to assure that they are well-cared for when they are being groomed.

Are the grooming facilities all in the very back of the store like the one here where I live? If so, then I dont understand HOW the dog made it all the way through the store and out the front door without being caught. It just does not make sense. Its like part of the story is not being told or something. Does anyone know more details about this story? If so, would you please explain it to me????
