A frustrated Florida woman is speaking out about a recent trip to a well-reviewed dog groomer, after the groomer dyed her dog’s ears and eyebrows pink and green without her permission.
“I saw my dog come out the back room with green eyebrows and pink ears,” Puleo told the station. “When I asked [the groomer] why she dyed her hair, her response was she felt the dog was missing something. She offered to take it off for me but I just wanted to take my dog home.”
Puleo also said Lola’steeth weren’t cleaned becausethe groomer told her the pup didn’t like the process and they didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. She further alleged that Lola had developed an infection on her belly following her salon treatment that required an emergency visit to the vet.
“The vet said she got the infection from her having the open wound and bacteria getting into it,” Puleo said.

Puleo spoke toThe Palm Beach Postabout the incident too, admitting, “I almost cried.”
“We did wrong about the color. We should have offered her first,” the salon owner, Raquel Adams, told thePost. “The young lady, she’s very sweet. We wanted to make her happy. We beautify the dog … if we see it’s missing something, wedo color, sometimes, the dog.”
Adams added in her conversation with the outlet that Lola’s infection came from canine constantly “licking” an irritated area, instead of giving the area “a chance to heal,” while Puleo told thePostthat the salon had refunded her $150 treatment fee and offered a free follow-up service, which she is planning to decline.

In aFacebook post on Saturday, Puleo said the incident was “definitely a traumatizing experience” for Lola, and that she hopes “this grooming service has learned their lesson and no other dog out there has to go through the pain they cause[d] mine.”
“All I wanted was for people out there to see what happened, get justice for my dog and make sure it didn’t happen to anyone else,” Puleo wrotein another post, on Monday.
