Stop discriminating again pets with epilepsy!

The Issue

We've been bringing Joey, our Yorkie for grooming to PetCo for some time now with no issues. We've always thought they did a good job.

Today it happened to come out that he has epillepsy.

Oh, sorry we can't groom him, it's our policy. You should ask your vet if they groom.

This poor little guy has gone through enough in life. Regular grooming and nail clipping is an essential health need. He's now black listed because he has a medical issue? A seizure in a dog follows a typical process, which, while scary, is something that can easily be dealt with.

Most dog's that suffer from seizures do so in the middle of the night, while resting. He's never had one during the day or at a groomer. And even if he did, he needs compassion, not abandonment.

I'm offcially done with PetCo and I'll do anything I can to spread the word of their terrible policy.
