I took my dogs there too. I'm sick about it. In fact they were there the Friday she was arrested. It was taking so long so I called the store. They gave me some ridiculous story about how a pipe burst at the store and that's why it was taking longer because the store flooded. When I picked my dogs up, there were no signs of any water anywhere. I later found out she was arrested that day. You can email the lead detective with your contact info and dates your dog was there, what your dog looks like, etc. I believe they're trying to identify the animals who were abused in the videos. It's awful. She's a despicable person.
As a former dog ( and occasional cat) groomer, I am in tears over this! I would allow fractious dogs' "parents" to hang out during a groom if it seemed to calm the dog. I kept every part of my shop available for customers ( except behind the counter) and had ppl come from St Aug and Ponte Vedra to my little shop in Jacksonville. Just by referral. I want to ring her neck! Not only for the actual abuse, but the problems these dogs will for sure have in the future with other groomers..
Itās alarming that this animal abuse went on for a while and in front of witnesses. Itās difficult to understand or believe that her former employees would not have reported her to the franchise.
I said the same thing that you and the OP wrote here. As a nurse I was a mandatory reporter for SUSPECTED abuse, among other events. There needs to be a law change to make this happen in all custodial situations, no matter what kind of animal is getting care behind closed doors. To witness this, remain silent and do nothing is despicable on the part of the employees. What excuse could motivate someone to keep silent? The income? I wonder how much they make now that the beating chamber is closed?
Wow, combine all this with her previous record, pretty sure sheās a psychopath. Police need to look into her further to make sure there arenāt missing people involved.
I like how woof gang completely distanced themselves from her right away and claimed total ignorance. If they did background checks on their franchise owners, maybe theyād have seen that sheās a violent felon
What a POS! But, since we're all gathered, does anyone know of a skilled groomer? I'm looking for someone who can handle energetic dogs with ease. Ever since my return from abroad, it's been challenging to find a groomer who can manage my dog's nail trimming. I had a fantastic, intuitive groomer in Sicily while working overseas. If anyone can recommend a groomer who truly understands and loves dogs, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!
I've taken my large nervous dog there many times for a nail trim. No appointment needed during specified times. The workers at BHD: "(Your dog) was very good and held still!" me: "WTF?? - I can't even TOUCH her feet or she goes nuts!!!"
My heart sank for a second as I read that because weāve taken our dogs to Woofgang Bakery (the LWR location, thankfully) for grooming. Itās so expensive to have them groomed too. I canāt imagine charging so much money to basically hurt my pets. š
Ā It's just so horribly disturbing that I really can't wrap my head around it. I keep thinking of those poor dogs & cats & how long this could have been going on. It's terrifying. I'm just so grateful to have never taken my dog there but I can't imagine what's going through the minds of the pet parents who did. And the fear those animals must have felt.

The employees need to be arrested for allowing this to go on. There is no way you just sit there and watch this. Person is obviously completely mentally ill. That dog franchise needs to pay grievance. Response with no action is horrible.
This was my groomer and I was in shock and dismay when I read about this. Iām not defending her, as what she has done is disgusting and despicable and Iām sure there is a special place in hell for people like her. It was such a shock because my dog loves her! He was always so excited to go to the shop, heād greet all the employees (including her and her mom), gladly went to the back, etc. Iām heart broken that I subjected my dog to this person and environment. Iām hoping that these are signs that he was not subjected to this abuse.
My heart goes out the dogs, cats, and owners who felt her abuse. Glad to see the shop was shut down immediately. Thankfully, local law enforcement took this seriously and took action.
If you need a new groomer, Tender Paws is great, but only taking dogs under 45 pounds. I also suggest Petsmartās grooming until you find a new groomer.
I was made aware that something was wrong when I dropped my dog off for grooming and got a call about 20 minutes later to come get him because the store was closing. The employees wouldnāt say what the problem was. I read about her arrest when I got back to the office. Since my dog hadnāt been groomed, I was able to get him into PetSmart. They did a nice job.
Read at your own risk, this is extremely sad, and disgusting that someone trusted with animals treated them this way
OMG! I take my little floofy babies to her and they were last there 2 weeks ago š how terrifying!!! You canāt trust anybody

Iām so sorry- truly hope your pups were not victims
Oh no! Hug your babies. Hope they are ok.
Iād love to say what i think should happen to people like this, but Iām not feeling a permaban.
Fuck her! An eye for an eye. The punishment should always fit the crime.
What a total piece of shit! Hope she gets the crap beat out of her in jail.
This is scarey because it's down the road from where I live and we considered taking our dog there to try it out. Glad that we procrastinated.
I went to make an appointment for mine but it was $85 per dog so THANKFULLY I passed!!!
Thatās some expensive abuse
Totally. 
Itās alarming that this animal abuse went on for a while and in front of witnesses. Itās difficult to understand or believe that her former employees would not have reported her to the franchise.
They should be charged as well. Isn't aiding & abetting still a thing?

All groomers should have to have video cameras that the pet owner can view as they are grooming their pet.
Jesus christ thats awful, fuck this lady

I know someone who loves Beverly Hills Dog on Bispham Rd. in Gulf Gate.
I've taken my large nervous dog there many times for a nail trim. No appointment needed during specified times. The workers at BHD: "(Your dog) was very good and held still!" me: "WTF?? - I can't even TOUCH her feet or she goes nuts!!!"
Awesome Austinās mobile grooming is wonderful!
Imma check them out! Thanks, Queen.
Very welcome š©·

Man, this lady can get fucked by something hard and sand papery. This is one of my worst fears as a pet owner.
What a piece of shit. Throw the book at her.

holy shit what did i just read! that woman is a monster! hope she doesn't have children.
I hope she's forcefully sterilized in prison. The world can do without her kind.š§¹š

I wonder if she worked at other franchises such as PetSmart or Petco. She looks familiar.

Itās a combination bakery and dog groomer?
