I have always been to Dawn in Grooming at North Riverside IL Petco. I was ready to finally get my 8th (free) grooming. However, my 6yo 8 pound Abby and my husband were sitting on our front porch and 4 unleashed uncollared PITBULLS came on our porch and attacked her and bit my husband. Abby had 8 puncture wounds to her lungs and they broke most of her ribs. The VCA in Downers Grove tried there best to keep her alive. The next day when I saw her I could tell she was in so much pain. She asked me to stop her pain, so I sent her over the Rainbow Bridge July 10, 2025.
My husband insisted on getting another puppy like Abby which broke my heart because I think he was trying to replace her.
Made a grooming appointment for our new puppy Zoey for face feet and butt, my account said my coupon for a free haircut had expired.
I was and still am in shock that my coupon was cancelled because Abby was killed.
The store manager told me to call customer service, but I was too emotional to call.
Sincerely,
Candy Neuman
