On Thursday, August 8, 2013, I called Toledo Pet Farm to schedule our first, and only, grooming service for our Yorkshire Terrier puppy, Minnie. On Friday, August 9, we brought Minnie to Toledo Pet Farm for her service with groomer Sarah. We were told that a staff member would call when the service was completed, and Minnie was ready to be picked-up. We received a phone call approximately an hour and a half later. We arrived fifteen minutes after receiving the phone call. A woman (who we later learned is the owner, Katrina) brought Minnie to us and informed us that, during her grooming service, our puppy had sustained a laceration to her ear, that they were able to stop the bleeding and that she would be fine in a couple of days. We waited for the outcome of the healing process, which took much longer than expected, about a week and a half. During that time we began to notice that the injury was more than a laceration, her ear had been partially severed and there is now a small piece missing. On Tuesday, August 20, I called Toledo Pet Farm and spoke with Paul regarding the injury. I left my phone number and asked him to have the owner return my call. On Wednesday, August 21, I spoke with Katrina and she assured me that she would speak with the groomer, Sarah, and Katrina would be in touch with me the following day. I spoke with Katrina, again, two days later on Friday, August 23, and was told that I should come in on Monday, August 26, for a full refund of the service, which was $40. On Monday, August 26, the day I was to receive the refund, I, instead, received a voice mail stating that Katrina had a family emergency and would not be there to refund the amount of the service. I called Toledo Pet Farm and left a message, on an answering machine, for a staff member to return my call, no one did. On Thursday, August 29, I went to Toledo Pet Farm, as they requested via their voice mail, and was informed that I would not receive the full refund as the owner had told me I would. It was then that they began to treat me in a very rude manner and with the utmost disrespect. At that time, they thrust a copy of our signed contract at me with a paragraph that had been highlighted previous to my arrival. I proceeded to get the names of all staff members involved in the incident, so I could have as much information as possible and make a decision as to how to proceed with this matter. I was then informed by Katrina that she is not the owner, but a sub-contractor, and that the owner's name is Neeti. I then left, was not refunded for the service, however, I did take the copy of the contract. I was later informed that I should call Toledo Pet Farm and obtain the name of their insurance company. When I called, I spoke with the front desk manager, Shelly, who refused to divulge the name of the insurance company and then proceeded to tell me that I was "pissing her off" and that she would hang up on me, when I explained that, after reading the highlighted paragraph on the contract, I noticed that it does not state that Toledo Pet Farm is not liable for the injury of an animal in their care. She told me it was implied. My reason for filing this complaint is to try to prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak that we did when we left our much loved puppy in this company's care. She is now permanently scarred and the damage from the injury cannot be repaired. The staff of Toledo Pet Farm is extremely unprofessional in every aspect of services they provide. Grooming as well as customer service. read more
