Justice for Samson the Newfoundland

Glamour paws grooming in Mahwah nj should be held accountable for this horrible act. They should be made to reimburse owners for Samsons medical bills and pain and suffering for the family. They should be closed down and never allowed to work with animams or own an animal.


PLEASE READ THIS:

On 8/12/21, my wife dropped our beautiful, kind dogs off for a groom for the first time at #glamourpawsboutique 190 Franklin Turnpike in Mahwah NJ (they are groomed regularly so there was no anxiety on our dogs part). One of our pups was a New Foundland, the largest, kindest gentle giant. We went to pick up our dog in the afternoon however he was not in the back of the shop but, in the front, in front of a fan… alone. The owner, Greg told us Samson was hot so he moved him to the front of the shop. We were also told by Greg that the “floors were slippery” and this was why Samson could not use his back legs to stand. Sadly and beyond words, we had to say good bye to our special boy because he suffered a heatstroke while being groomed. His temperature was 109.5 when we got him to the Vet on an emergency call and then had to take him to emergency care following because his condition deteriorated fast. Please, we ask anyone that reads this, do not take your dogs to just any groomer AND ask how they dry the dogs. This kind dog who only just turned 5 years old didn’t deserve to have his life shortened the way it was. Please, we had done our due diligence on this groomer but it was not enough. Our incredible Samson entered “Glamour Paws” in Mahwah NJ at 11:00 am as a healthy, happy, vibrant dog, only to be picked up at approximately 2:30 pm, lethargic, over-heated, non reactive and unable to move. My family and I are devastated, in disbelief and so sad as we lost this beautiful soul. The owner, Greg of “Glamour Paws”, 190 Franklin Turnpike, Mahwah NJ did not help us carry Samson out of his shop or even have the decency or compassion to call us to see how Samson was doing. Quite simply, I am appalled and disgusted and for the love of your four legged family member, research your groomer and do not go to “Glamour Paws” in Mahwah NJ. We welcome any conversation regarding “Glamour Paws” in Mahwah NJ and discourage you from doing business with this so called establishment. Our home feels empty without our incredible dog. RIP Sweet Samson 💔💔💔
