If it was an accident and the dog is healing fine, why inflict gain from the person? I'm sure they feel bad about it too. If they have given you good service for 2 years, why ruin a good relationship for greed? Your friends are looking at it in a totally selfish and morally pitiful way IMO. Ultimately, you have to decide what and how to handle the situation. If you were on the other side of the situation, would you have felt bad about hurting the dog? Accidents do happen. On the other hand, if you wanted to get services at reduced or no cost, you might be able to gain that from the employer. This might cost this person their job though. Is it worth that? Sleep on it and see how you feel in the morning. |

I'm not familiar with Canadian law, but there generally isn't much of a recovery for this sort of thing in the US. There have been a few cases here in California where damages were limited to the value of the pet, and that was when the animal died. You're probably upset now and understandably so. But think about what happened. The groomer did not want to hurt your dog. It happened, your dog will recover, and the only thing you're out is the vet's bill. I'd let the groomer pay the vet's bill, and, in good faith, I'd keep going back. Accidents happen, so try to fix things as best as possible, and don't let a mistake ruin a relationship. |
