Who shaves a Pom/Mix Breed?

by Michelle
(Syracuse)

I had a horrible experience at my local Pet Co. Took my gorgeous Pom/Sheltie mix in after I had previously gotten her bathed and combed out at same place.

I had told them, just trim her feet and a little on her ears. The moron cut all her leg fringe off, thinned her coat with what appeared to me to be a thinning shear job, and to boot, her ears were all greasy, don't even think they bathed her.

I was very angry as was taking her on trip and wanted her to look as good as possible. I of course, demanded my money back, but am still angry. They said I told them to cut her, which I absolutely did not. I am a very precise person and gave them direct instructions.

My thought, they hire very untalented people (their cashiers are idiots as well). No self-respecting groomer would EVER cut my type of pet's coat in such a fashion as she did.

Luckily I am a hairdresser as I was able to even up all the long stray uneven hairs she left. I would avoid Pet Co like the plaque.
