Las Vegas, Nevada – Multiple dog owners are accusing Las Vegas pet groomer Lucky's Pet Grooming and Boutique of mistreating their animals. The claims, which included paralysis and injuries, sparked outrage and raised questions about the facility's practices and oversight.
For toffee:
- Makisha Davis claims her four-year-old Maltese Yorkie mix, Taffy, became paralyzed while being groomed in December 2023.
- Ms Davis claims her staff did not give her a clear answer about the incident, and that a veterinarian diagnosed Tuffy with a ruptured disc that required expensive surgery.
- Unable to afford treatment, Davis made the difficult decision to euthanize her beloved pet.
- Animal control officials investigated but were ultimately unable to determine the cause of the injury due to lack of evidence.
Similar experiences have been reported:

- Animal Control confirmed it was investigating the incident involving Tuffy and reviewing previous complaints.
- The city of Las Vegas is looking into Channel 13's investigation into past investigations.
Concerns and next steps:
- This situation has raised concerns about pet safety and the effectiveness of monitoring mechanisms at grooming facilities.
- Mr Davis is determined to prevent similar incidents and plans to raise awareness and seek legal action.
- An ongoing investigation by Animal Control and the possibility of further investigation by the City of Las Vegas could clarify the allegations and result in appropriate consequences if warranted.
