Colorado animal welfare investigators have opened an investigation into licensing at a Westminster pet grooming facility after a dog lost an eye during a grooming session.
Jeannine Andasola and Gilbert McKay dote on their 12-year-old chihuahua mix, Baby.In May, McKay dropped off Baby for grooming at Love Grooming, located at 9165 Lowell Blvd in Westminster. He thought his"daughter" was in good hands with the owner, Pablo Garcia.
"In this position if he leans on the dog too much or pulls the dog it could cause strangulation. Christian stated he did not know that this occurred but it was the only thing he could think of that could happen. Christian stated that he felt bad that the dog was injured in his care and volunteered to pay the vet bills," the report states."All in total, it was over $4,000," said Andasola.
"These people aren't even accountable for what they've done," said McKay."I mean, why don't they have insurance that would take care of this?" According to records obtained by Contact Denver7, investigators with the state's Pet Animal Care Facilities Act Program, which is under the Department of Agriculture, looked into the incident. During that investigation, Garcia told them that Cunningham was an employee. PACFA administrators said Cunningham does not have a license, which would be required if he is not an employee and was performing grooming duties.
Westminster PD said investigators did not believe the dog was intentionally injured. No charges were filed in the case.
