In the Midst of ‘PETCO Dryer Cage’ Incident, Splash and Dash Reminds All Pet Parents of the Safe Drying Methods That Should be Practiced By All Pet Stores for Safe Dog Grooming
St. Petersburg, FL – June 9, 2015 – During a routine dog grooming appointment at PETCO’s Midlothian store, a dog named Colby died after being placed in a dryer cage too long. Colby’s death was the result of the store’s animal care protocol not being properly followed by employees.
Seeing this incident as a huge issue, Splash and Dash Groomerie and Boutique, one of America’s go-to sources for all things pet-related, strives to make sure that your pet is always safe and secure in a comfortable environment at all times.
