[nagdu] Nail Clippers

[Jenny Keller]

Hi all,

I took my former Guide to Petsmart for grooming.  I don't know what they did to him, but he was unable to go into that store again.  

He would go into Petco with no problem, but as soon as he realized that we were walking into Petwmart, he wouldn't want to go in.  

He also had an unusually reaction after the grooming session as if he had been traumatized.  

the Humane society in Rockford has told me flat out to NEVER have Petsmart touch my dog, and they boycott them because of their groomers.  

I know that every Petsmart is different I guess, but I just thought I'd let you know what our Humane Society has told me, and what happened after I took Brooks there for grooming, and that he would not go in that store again for the rest of the time I had him.
