BEWARE of Here Boy in Toms River, NJ:
BEWARE!!!! is all I can say. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT bring your pets here. One hour after dropping off my 4.4 lb Pomeranian, they called saying there was an emergency, so I rushed there to find my dog laying there dead! Not breathing! Turning blue! They said she just collapsed when they were drying her, but she was 3 years old, had been to the vet within the past year, and had no health problems. I had an autopsy performed, and though they couldn't definitively determine why she stopped breathing and all her organs shut down, they did find hemorrhages in her brain and neck. He informed me that the number one cause of brain hemorrhage is trauma. There was a vet a very short distance on the same road and they didn't rush her there. The absolute worst insult after all this - they charged me!!!!!! I had all my five Poms there at the time and they charged for all five, including the one they killed. The devastation is horrific. And they never even bothered to phone me to follow up nor sent any condolences! I believe they didn't rush her to the close-by vet because they caused it and were guilty. All this is absolute truth. I'll never leave my dogs unattended at any groomers again.
