Petticoat Junction Pet Grooming

On December 28th or 29th (yes I am still dealing with this) I took my dog there to be groomed for 1st time. I tell them DO NOT CUT HIM CLOSE. The person tells me their clipper size and how low it cuts. We discuss his hair, which by the way is thin and the groomer says if there is any matting we may have to cut the matting out. I was not worried about that because he was not matted. I am learning that some groomers don't want to comb and brush they simply want to cut because they are lazy. When I pick him up he looks hairless, so much so that my neighbor called to tell me she saw him outside and not to do that again. The groomers razor had pretty much burned his body. What came next was bumps and pus sores. I show the groomer, she swears that it is impossible for them to have done that and that they will not be paying vet bills. I let them know I would take him to the vet and if the vet said it came as a result of grooming I would let her know. I take him to Faces Animal Clinic (much less expensive) to get a diagnosis and treatment... demonstrating to the groomers I am not trying to get rich off of them, The vet's Assessment/Diagnosis is Hot Spot (moist dermatitis) from getting groomed to close. The Vet says the clippers were hot and burned his skin in multiple places. He has over 15 pus sores on his body and burned, darkened skin under his arm and down his side...its horrific. I go back to the groomer and the female owner insists they could not have done it. Long story short, $153 and another vet later I take my dog to show them in person how he needs more care, the husband picks up the phone to call the police on me. The wife has to calm him down. Tthe woman says we have insurance, but we are not going to pay for his care. A smart groomer would've said, we will pay the $153.00 and our insurance will take it from here. So here is my recommendation, if you take your pet there and something goes wrong, just head for court which is where I am headed next...

We have been taking our Bichon there for years. Dave and Jackie do a good job. Sweet and simple, what more could you ask for. Reasonable pricing and do great work. Keep it up

Before my dog died 2 years ago, I had taken her to Petticoat Junction for 14 years. The last year of my dogs life, they would groom her first so she did not have to stay there all day. At that time she could not see and was hard to cut. They took very good care of her. My mother-in-law recommended this place to me. She had taken her greyhounds too that came were resuced from the race tracks. I recently got another poodle and I will be taken her to them for grooming. Dave and Jackie are great!!
