We left our cat for grooming. We requested grooming only, no nail cutting or bath. When we picked our cat we we got a gruesome surprise. Some nails were broken, others were cut or ripped off to the meat (bleeding). Not only that, for some reason our cat's gums were bleeding and bruised. Also, they washed our cat with a shampoo that had a strong fragrance. The cat seems to be in shock, I have no idea how bad they treated him.
Update: We took our cat back to their veterinarian for examination. Vet apologized and treated the wounds, but said our cat was likely hurt because he was "misbehaving". Now, I personally find that excuse unacceptable. If the cat was so afraid, that he was fighting to escape, they should have stopped the grooming and called us to pick him up. Instead, they clearly chose to manhandle our cat into submission, just so that they could finish the grooming procedure. That's inhumane treatment of animals, in my opinion.
Pros: None
Cons: Cruel
