Greetings Santa Fe fur baby parents π I want to express my feelings of shock and disgust about a post I read tonight about a horrible, traumatizing experience someone had with their fur baby at a "cage free" grooming (and apparently, daycare) place here in Santa Fe. The 4 & a half month old puppy was injured and NO ONE informed the parent immediately, AND when confronted by the parent, they LIED about what had actually happened. Supposedly the puppy had been attacked by a larger dog who was roaming loose in the place! This sounds in itself like a cover up for a grooming accident, likely with a scissor cut to the mouth. A dog attack would have caused more extensive damage. Please! "Cage free" SEEMS "kinder" to some of you parents, but in my nearly 40 years of experience in the field, I have learned that it's a dangerous practice, on MANY levels. Unless you've had your dog assessed for a daycare situation, where they place your fur baby with the right mixture, it's NOT known how dogs will interact.
Having said my piece about this, I want to remind you all that my shop is quiet and typically I have no more than 3 dogs at a time there, SECURED by spacious kennels. Dogs don't run around loose and I give individual attention to them all. I am Certified by the NY School of Dog Grooming, and am licensed and insured. Please contact me at 575 741-0507 β€οΈππΆ
