    Am I Overreacting?

    @wharley No vaccines? No groom. Fire me if you want. This is non negotiable. As for the rest, I'll try anything once but I'd let the owner know up front I'll stop the groom if I feel it's not safe for myself or the pet and whether not I even accept the pet depends heavily on the initial...

    Thinking about quitting salon I’m at, please tell me if I’m overreacting

    @lr2013 Ugh. That's not a place I'd ever work.

    Thinking about quitting salon I’m at, please tell me if I’m overreacting

    @lr2013 That's a crap place to work. Their systems and way of scheduling is outdated, they're unsafe, you're underpaid, and they take dogs they shouldn't. It's only a matter of time until there's an incident. No worker's comp or benefits on top of that. Do they even have any kind of vet...

    Stop coddling your dog! You're the problem, not them!!

    Truth about working as a bather at Petsmart

    @christiangirl30 I stay because I work in one of the better run salons and I like my coworkers. It's a good area. We stay busy mostly year round and tips aren't bad. If that changes....see ya.

    Truth about working as a bather at Petsmart

    @christiangirl30 PetSmart corporate is filled with people who've never groomed before and only care about the numbers. Their demands are unreasonable and they can go to hell. If they want me to groom more dogs they can: Hire a receptionist Hire bathers specifically to bathe my dogs Make sure...

    Incidents

    @broken1989 Shit happens. We work with sharp tools on living things that won't sit still. It's only a matter of time but with enough time and experience it will happen less often and you can often minimize the damage. The first year and half or so are going to be the worst for you. Take the...
