Rough Petco groomer caught on video, now unemployed
ATLANTA-- A groomer caught on cell phone video rough handling a dog is no longer employed at Petco.
The store on Roswell Road in Buckhead is like many others in the retail chain. It features a grooming station where the public can watch dogs getting bathed and clipped.
On March 1, a Decatur woman says she pulled up in her car and noticed the groomer treating a black dog roughly. She started recording it on her phone to document the incident.
The video shows the dog try to back away, and the groomer yank on its leg at least three times.
The woman stopped taping and went in to report to the manager, who told her he would speak to the employee.
She put the video on Facebook, and tagged Petco. It's gotten more than 1300 shares and comments in two days.
