QUESTION
Would a groomer be responsible for a emergency surgery vet bill?
Asked on May 06th, 2023 on Animal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
I took my dog to get groomed (where I’ve gone the last 4 years) and while she was there was left unattended in a crate where they had clipped her leash to. She ate the leash and then required emergency surgery for an intestinal obstruction. If she had not gotten surgery, she would have died.

Possibly. The bigger issue is the expense of litigation to prove liability vs. the value of the vet bill. This is an iffy case to start with as its not a clear case of liability.
