A canine or feline companion is considered a member of the household by the majority of us. As a fur parent, you cannot fathom what your life would have been like without your pets. What are the repercussions of entrusting your animal companion to a service that turns out to be unreliable?

Who should you contact if your pet sustains an injury while being groomed? Where do you go to get assistance?

To begin, we don't want to give the impression that groomers have any malicious intent toward your animal companion. Great dog groomers can be found almost anywhere you look; most of them are animal lovers who take pleasure in grooming.

Most of the time, a dog grooming visit is completely incident free as all goes well. On the other hand, it is possible for a pet to sustain injuries while being groomed.

There is a good chance that if you own a dog or cat, you have taken your animal to the groomer or the veterinarian and trusted that they would be fine until you came back to take them home. However, in these many grooming sessions, there is still a chance that something will go wrong.

Many accounts have been found where dogs were hurt while being groomed, which is inevitable, but a skilled groomer will do their best to mitigate any harmful effects. However, there are times when it was merely an innocent mistake, and the unfortunate reality is that there are also terrible stories involving severe cases.

How the injury happened at a dog groomer.

"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," OP shared on this Reddit community.

When incidents like these happen, first and foremost, you need to get veterinary assistance for your animal companion. Remember that they are in discomfort and require medical attention.

Second, you need to make an effort to communicate with the groomer. Inquire them about your pet's whereabouts, and seek professional legal advice if necessary.
