DOG BITTEN!!! FIND OTHER PET CARE! I’d been taking my dogs to Happy Paws for years when one of my dogs was bitten in the tail. The owner conveniently tried to blame my other dog providing video of a moment where my accused dog chased a ball off screen in the direction of my bitten dog. However my bitten dog ran back into the view of the camera wagging his tail happily…obviously not indicating the time of injury.



Because my dog’s injury was unnoticed for days, it was too late for the vet to suture the wounds. Stitches must occur within 48 hrs to avoid infection. The vet cleaned the wound and put him on the strongest injectable antibiotic. I work in surgery so my dog received more than appropriate post-injury care. However since he didn't receive timely care initially, the wound ended up getting a serious Staph infection that abscessed.



He ended up needing to have surgery removing 2”sq to the bone. The Vet further inspected the punctures during surgery, and stated that the dog that bit him had a narrow canine-canine width and there was no way it was our other dog, which has blunt canines far apart.



Six months later my dog still has so much trouble getting up. The owner agreed to pay the vet bill but only paid part. Frankly I don’t care about the money; the fact that she had the audacity to blame our other dog is infuriating. I will NEVER go back to Happy Paws and encourage you NOT to do business with this establishment.
