FAIRLESS HILLS, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — The Bucks County SPCA launched an investigation after a woman said her dog ingested THC after a visit to the groomer.
Kelly Fowler said when she picked up her dog Teddy on Friday from PetSmart in Fairless Hills, he was lethargic and kept falling over.
He has been there for four hours.
According to a veterinarian’s report, even though the eight-pound dog’s urine was negative for THC, it noted that there is a high false-negative rate due to the relatively large volume needed to run these tests.
“He’s always been good. This is not normal behavior for him, and the vet said for him to have THC in his system and for him to have a reaction like he did, it’s within a 30 to 90 minute window for to him to start acting the way he is,” said Fowler from Trevose, Pa.
Fowler said PetSmart paid her vet bill.
The store’s corporate spokeswoman told Action News that after reviewing video footage from the grooming salon and the store, there is “no evidence at all” that Teddy was exposed to THC while in PetSmart’s care.
