Rachel Murphy has expressed concern about what happened to his 5-pound dog Toto last weekend. Rachel claims that a groomer taped Toto r’s mouth shut when it was bitten. This resulted in the dog looking bloody and being distressed.

Rachel told the story, "My puppy was in obvious distress. What I originally thought was an actual muzzle, turned out to actually be tape. Toto r's feet were visible red and damaged, with toenails that were too close to paws. This likely triggered Toto r biting.


Wow! My Dog mobile pet salon employed the groomer in question.

Rachel took Toto immediately to the vet for immediate medical attention. He has accused Wow! My Dog of animal abuse, joining numerous others who have made similar allegations. San Mateo's Office has now launched an animal cruelty investigation into Wow! My Dog.

Rachel described what he saw. "I noticed injuries near the joints, in the neck area, and around the genital areas." These cuts were so bad that they bled."

Marianna De las Vegas posted on Yelp a review about how Wow! website My Dog returned his animals to him in a bad condition or with injuries. One customer recorded a Snapchat video of a dog that appeared to be in pain. The groomer was said to have forced a napkin inside the dog's ears.
Bad Review

Wow! My Dog wants customers to also be aware of what groomer told them, as a person they had trusted with their pets. Rachel stated, "Juliann informed to me that the use of tape to close the mouth is acceptable and normal. He claims it is preferred to using a mute, which is harmful to dogs. He also mentioned that he personally uses this method on his own dogs."

Gate News contacted Wow! My Dog, who answered the phone and handed it to a woman claiming that they were investigating allegations. But when Puppy was brought up, she said it was a different entity and ended the call abruptly.
