A woman made off with a dog that wasn’t hers from a grooming business in Gardena, CA.

KTTV reports that the woman “gave [the dog] a new name, told the groomers the dog was hers, paid the services in cash and left.” The incident at Petnjoy was captured on surveillance video.

The woman allegedly then gave the dog, an 11-year-old Shih Tzu with health problems, to her daughter as a gift. The daughter promptly returned the dog to its owner, Audre Turner.

“I was so happy,” Turner said. “She was happy, she jumped out of the car, I picked her up.”

Turner doesn’t plan to press charges.

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
