Report
Our cat came in for glans issues. during the appointment, they did.not ask for permission or inform us that they will be cleaning her ears. this led to her becoming deaf. the staff handled it horribly. they denied any negligence and refused to take responsibility. shortly after, her health was a steady decline which resulted in her death. the best they said they can do is give free antibiotics.

i'm not 100% sure if they only do dogs cause the first time i called they told me they don't do cats which i found very surprising i was hoping they did, i'd probably have to go to gp or edmonton to get my cat groomed.
