Las Vegas, NV – Several dog owners are accusing a Las Vegas pet groomer, Lucky’s Pet Grooming and Boutique, of mistreating their animals. The claims, which include paralysis and injuries, have sparked outrage and raised questions about the facility’s practices and management.
Tuffy Case:
- Makisha Davis alleges that her 4-year-old Maltese Yorkie mix, Tuffy, was paralyzed while being groomed in December 2023.
- Davis said he didn’t get a clear answer from staff about the incident and a veterinarian diagnosed Tuffy with a ruptured disk that required expensive surgery.
- Unable to afford treatment, Davis made the difficult decision to euthanize her beloved pet.
- Animal control investigated but ultimately could not determine the cause of the injury due to lack of evidence.
Similar Experiences Reported:

- Margarita Bicana said her dog suffered a broken jaw after being taken in for repairs.
- Negative reviews have run rampant online, with many owners sharing photos and videos of their injured pets.
Groomer Response and Ongoing Investigation:
- The owner of Lucky’s Pet Grooming and Boutique declined an on-camera interview but denied the allegations.
- Animal control confirmed that they are investigating the incident involving Tuffy and are reviewing previous complaints.
- The City of Las Vegas is looking into Channel 13’s questions about past investigations.
Concerns and Next Steps:
- This situation raises concerns about pet safety in correctional facilities and the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms.
- Davis, determined to prevent similar incidents, plans to raise awareness and seek legal action.
- An ongoing investigation by animal control and potential additional inquiries by the City of Las Vegas may shed light on the allegations and lead to appropriate consequences, if necessary.
