My aunts dog died while being groomed at the groomers!

What a sad thing to have happen. I feel bad for your aunt and the groomer as well. I have actually heard of this happening before. It is very sad.

Wow, that would be crazy to get someones pet into your care and then have it die on you. Perhaps it was too much for an old dog to handle, clippers and hair grooming tools are stressful to animals, I can imagine why. The dog was probably already getting ready to leave the world if something so minor could kill it, so I hope she was not angry with the groomers, and I hope the groomers were not too upset by this- they probably felt guilty about it, though they were just doing their job, what your aunt paid them to do. It's probably not the first time this has happened in grooming history.

I have never experience such a sad thing. I have been lucky and never had a pet die in someone else's care either. I tend to take my pets with me where ever I go. Or I don't go. As I am particular about who would watch my pets or kids for that matter. If the doggie was old, than it was probably time for the doggie to go. I know that is not what people want to hear. But unless an autopsy is done to prove otherwise. I do hope the owner didnt have to pay for the grooming.

How terrible!! I've never heard of it happening before but then old dogs can get worked up when their around alot of other dogs or unfamiliar area's. They seem to like peace and quiet alot at that stage. It also might have been something do with being left alone there if the owner did leave the dog...a case of mistaken abandonment maybe.
