Luxury pet shop treatment at dog party goes viral and owners speak out

A video showing caregivers pushing dogs from a pet shop in São Paulo went viral on social media and caused outrage among internet users this Friday (8).

The images, filmed from a distance, show a woman pulling and pushing dogs as she tries to arrange them for a photo around a party table.

The man using the cell phone camera to take the photo also pushes the animals hard.

The owners of the establishment, identified as Luís Felipe and Débora, spoke out in a video published on the dog daycare’s official page on Instagram.

They reported that they were not present and that they were “as surprised as everyone else” when they received the video.

The business owners informed that the employees involved were terminated and that they will also release camera images so that customers can monitor their animals in real time.

The incident occurred at a dog daycare called Soul Dog, located in Itaim Bibi, an upscale neighborhood in the south of São Paulo. The establishment identifies itself as a “luxury dog ​​hotel” in its profile.

“We are in a state of shock, because we do not tolerate any type of misconduct with animals,” says the owner.

“In fact, we have our dog at daycare, who was also at daycare. We weren’t there and didn’t know about it.”
