I fully support the points here because I still give benefit of doubt to the mentioned petshop. There is always 2 sides of the story.

Sending a puppy at 7 weeks for grooming is unreasonable. Was it so dirty that you need to send for grooming. I could imagine how small the puppy is and it should have stayed home.

Please research first before getting a pet and don't just jump into the bandwagon of getting puppies because it is cute. Sorry that the puppy lost its life for whatever reason which I believe should not be caused by an ear infection. The vet's knowledge in question also questionable as I believe that no proper diagnosis is being done here.

Sorry, maybe I might misunderstand whatever you trying to say coz england a bit out. Sorry....

yeap.. i agree too!
but sometimes..we just too excited to get the pup u know..
that the feeling of 'wantodoanythingformypup' comes out..
plus the excitement.. to go to the grooming center..

secondly, if next time you have another pup.. and want to be groomed
u can read in this forum where the good grooming centers..
research first lohhhhhh..

i am so sorry for the loss..but the dead will not come back..
so learn a lesson well from there ..you will gain more knowledge for ur next puppy

I don think is time to finger point.. As maybe she is 1st time owner... everyone have their own view.. feel sad for her lost her beloved puppy.... TS just wanna create awareness for ppl.. If you feel confident on the pet shop then is ok... just a guide for ppl when choose pet shop for grooming.. I didn't anybody here or finger point at anyone..

from my view is:
she already sad for the lost of her puppy.. n still she think of others and open this thread so tat ppl know bout this pet shop... some ppl may think "aiya, y she bring her pet over there since haven fully vaccinated".. she know is haven fully vaccinated but still she send her pet over for grooming..
is her fault..
But the groomer should notice it if hurt the ear..
is easily to know hurt a puppy's ear.. as mine Mickey, when my mum accident hurt it ear; it got blood out.. obviously not much.. very little.. (cos my mum cares the pet and c it clearly before let the puppy plays).. the groomer should did so.. they should make sure the pet are free from hurt be4 go away.. the room may be full bacteria hence it get affected quickly.. a open wound get affected easily.. is both side wrong..

the vet may wrong cos din carries proper instruction and test.. same as mine Mickey.. he got skin problem and the vet check and c then say small matter n give pill and shampoo.. as i asked ppl here, they say is ok..

in the end of my point;
is TS fault tat bring puppy for grooming but do think 7weeks( abviously dirty and for 1st time owner, surely scare larr).. you become parent for 1st time, you oso scare to bath the baby or carry it.. same apply to TS.. she just joined recently not long..
Groomer's fault tat din make sure the puppy are free from hurt be4 left the shop.. (if you were a ppl, will u let the kid left ur house witout checking is he/she ok)...
vet's fault for not having proper check for the puppy be4 saying anything..

* not offending or anything.. I used baby is cos we treat the puppy like our own baby... M i right for pet owner??

I oso a 1st time pet owner same as my bf.. we din even know how to bath our puppy.. then i have to learn from my mum.. Mickey already 2months old ler.. my mum help him cut nail for twice.. so u imagine is a 7week old puppy need cut nail?? my mum oso worries tat i cut the puppy paws cos is different from human...

the pet shop should happy cos got ppl helps it ad..

Let me testify with you that I did encounter such kind of unprofessional grooming shop, I sent my dog for bathing because it was a rainy day, after I bathing my the other 5 dogs, I was tired and left one most precious dog (which intend to take part for MKA competition) not yet bath, so I decided to send him to grooming shop for bathing. Because the shop should have more than 1 dryer to dry him. Then I told the shop that I will collect my dog later. After a while the shop call me asking me whether want to dematt my dog as they found some of its fur having some tangles. I said ok, because I thought it was just little tangle shouldn't be a problem let them comb it out, because I know very well of my dogs fur condition was not heavily matted.

By the time I went to collect my dog, I was very shocked to see that they had cut away a lot of my dog's fur, the worse part is simply cut until one patch here and there, now I can't enroll my dog for competition because of this. I confronted the shop who did the job on my precious dog, apparently is their Philipino worker do the bathing and dematting.

Do let us know which pet shop so we as pet lover will away from that shop..
is dangerous to have this kind of service...

i ever experienced bad groomer before. somewhere in taman segar. grooming my cat. he got fleas. end up go back, my cat sick, walk like a drunk people, vomit, and weak.

found out they used fleas killer for dog! and they over dose my cat with the poison.

vet safe my cat live. and the vet heard the same cases from that petshop before. vet told me, although they charge cheaper than any other shop, always remember cheap does not mean good.

luckily ur cat safe but too sad for TS dog..

That shop is called "Kawaii Pet Grooming Centre" in Bandar Damai Perdana in Cheras. Btw, they charged me RM60 on that kind of service.

Yup, there are some petshops like that and you are right to be upset with them. I guess all I am saying is that not all petshops are that bad. I just feel it is not right of the TS to post such things to cause bad reputation to the shop when not all things have been made clear. The TS clearly stated in that the petshop murdered the dog which is a very slanderous remark to make. If the post mortem shows that grooming did not cause the puppy to die, the petshop has every right to sue the TS for slander.

The TS has posted this in puppy.com and homeapet as well.

riekey,
Would you show us the picture about your dog. We would like more understand what happening to it?

yea same here ,
cause at least let us know what did the grooming done to the poor dog ear ? how did the groomer hurt it ?

but anyway 7 week old pups is not advice to bring it to go grooming area .

We would do make the thing right! Only the picture will let people more understanding. isnt Right? Digitral

Added on April 18, 2008, 7:57 pmto some other people who dont really know what is hapening pls do mind ur words!!!! when u not on that that situation pls dont make urself like u know well... i have no offence.... but this is an animal right to live ..... u think i purposely take my doggie go to groom....is because there was a reason i only take him go grooming>>>> and if lets say if that groomer so pro y dont they tell me that my doggie not suitable for grooming and they just groom for my doggie....i even told them tat my doggie is just 1 month !!!! ( i really told them that) if that groomer really pro they should tell me that oh ur doggie dont suit to groom cos still small....but instead of telling us that ...they just take my doggie and groom....( u think i want it to be happen)!!!!!!! from this fact already proven that the DEPT PET shop just money minded....... this was not the first case ..i notice that some of the owner also have problem when they take teir doggie go groom.....

riekey,
it look bad. hope your dog getting well soon. Have you go back to that shop complain about what happen to you dog?
What the shop owner say or action? We might like hear about it.

Her dog die already??
is very serious the ear infection..
sorry if i have offense or anything..

ya im fully agree coz im also one of the owner who took my lovely pet to the pet shop named ( DEPT Pet shop) before...and im so freaking angry on that services that they provided to my lovely dog. And my dog is lucky than Riekey coz even facing the same situation that is coz of the grooming and what my dog hurt by them is they groom until my lovely dog til his get inflection on his private part . But that is not the main point that i wanted that say out rite now but i was very unsatisfied the services that they provided to the pet named Riekey. Anyways also i hope everyone be alert on here coz i don hope in the future this cases wont happen on other puppy again.


Im very sorry that i was selfish to keep this cases that i faced before on my dog. But rite now i was thinking i must come out to shout out this to avoid another victim wil be in the future. And as a pet lover i hope u all wil shout out some comment to stand on Riekey situation and think bout this.

my perception view is according to moral value that im wrong to did this coz wil spoil the pet shop name and even is wrong i was also must shout out this coz i don like this cases wil happpen on other pet again coz pet also is a thing who are consider as human too.


actualy i think that they should really get a professional groomer and provide some gd services that what as a pet shop owner should do. if the pet owner who not really consider on what i mean on the above then i don think that they have the ability and qualification to manage a pet shop to provide pet services.
