Tranmere Dog Groomer Fired After Owner Sees Alleged Mistreatment on CCTV

Authorities say the RSPCA took appropriate action, with police aware despite no formal complaint.

Overview

  • Rebecca Quigley says she watched live salon CCTV showing her cockapoo Blossom being pushed, hit and verbally abused, and she recorded the footage.
  • Simply Debonair Dogs said the behavior was "completely unacceptable," immediately dismissed the employee and issued a public apology.
  • The salon’s owner described the episode as an isolated incident, noted the worker had 12 months’ service without prior issues and rejected rumors of any family connection.
  • The RSPCA confirmed appropriate action in response to the report, and Merseyside Police said they were aware but had received no formal report from the owner.
  • The business said its CCTV is intended to reassure customers and credited it with revealing the conduct, while reporting both threats and support after the video was posted to Facebook.
