Unfortunately the occurrence of abuse in facilities like grooming shops, veterinary hospitals and boarding facilities are not uncommon. That's the bad news. The good news is that a lot of these problems are avoidable or preventable. And if it isn't...then it is definitely reportable. Abuse is against the law. We talk with a few seasoned women, Brissa Mejia, Melissa Zizzo and Ceiann Capito, who share their experience, their unfortunate accounts of abuse they witnessed, and solutions for you as a pet owner.
