- CMcheyanne millsNov 4, 20251.0I've changed groomers due to my dog being mistreated at a previous groomer. I took her to animal arc once prior and it was an amazing experience maybe her second visit was bad because Darlene cut her right underneath her eye when I called to ask about it I was told to come back so she can take a look at it because she couldn't believe she cut her ! When I got back to the clinic we were asked why were we there and I said to speak with Darlene and the young man at the front desk was very rude (11/4/25) When my dog seen Darlene she immediately started shaking and hiding from Darlene and whining . I asked her did she see the cut when we left and she still continued to say she might have so I asked for the manager she thought I wasn't going to come back and that it would be brushed away. She finally admitted that she did cut my dogs eye and continued to not take accountability. Darlene goes on to say she’s seen bigger cuts and it wasn't that bad no sympathy or pure intentions at all I did not want my money back. I genuinely just wanted an explanation and was concerned due to her acting, oblivious on the phone and once I returned, she was very rude.Becky is the manager and was very kind and understanding (even offered a credit) but I just rather not have my dog somewhere that makes both of us uneasy . Apologies were accepted and we left
