Are groomers allowed to sedate a dog?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Groomers cannot legally sedate a dog. If the groomer works in a veterinary hospital the vet can authorize sedation but it is given by a technician. In the case of oral medications that a vet has prescribed, an owner can give it to the pet before a grooming appointment, as it takes about an hour to be effective. 13 окт. 2017 г.
