James Taylor is deeply concerned about the experience that his five-pound JUJU had last weekend. Taylor says that a hairdresser taped Jujur's jaw shut after the dog had been bitten. As a result, Jujur became bloody and upset.
Taylor explained, "My pet was clearly distressed. What I initially thought was a muzzle turned out to be tape. Jujur’s paws appeared to be red and inflicted with injuries. The toenails had been cut too near to the paw which probably triggered his biting response."
Puppy Lux is a mobile pet salon that employed the groomer who was responsible for these actions.
James took Juju right away to the doctor for emergency treatment. In joining other individuals who have also made similar claims, he has accused Puppy lux of animal abuse. San Mateo has launched an investigation to determine if the company is guilty of animal cruelty.
James described the injuries he observed, stating, "I noticed wounds near the joints, around the neck, and in the genital area. The cuts were so deep that they caused blood to flow."
Jack Smithr - a Puppy Lux client - posted a Yelp comment detailing how his pets had been returned to him unwell or injure. A Snapchat video captured by a customer showed a dog with obvious pain. He claimed that the groomer had forcedly inserted a towel into its ear.
Puppy Lux also wants to make sure that customers are aware of the information animal abuse articles 2023 the groomer gave him as someone who was trusted with the well-being of their pet. James shared, "Jonny informed me that taping the mouth shut is a normal and acceptable method, claiming it is preferable to using a muzzle, which he believes can be harmful to dogs. He also mentioned that he personally uses this method on his own dogs."
Fox contacted Puppy Lux, who answered the phone and handed it to a woman claiming that they were investigating allegations. When asked about Puppy, she immediately said that it was an independent entity, before abruptly terminating the call.
