Sabrina, a pet stylist at Store 1468 in Hamilton, Ohio, has been grooming Vader, a giant schnauzer, since he was a playful puppy. Every four weeks, without fail, Vader visits the salon with his glossy coat gleaming and tail wagging enthusiastically.
One day, as Sabrina began Vader’s groom, she noticed something was off. Vader, usually brimming with energy, seemed unusually subdued. Although he wasn’t in visible pain, Sabrina’s instincts told her something was wrong. She immediately alerted Vader’s pet parent, suggesting a visit to the vet.
Trusting Sabrina’s keen observation, Vader’s pet parent took him to the vet. After a series of tests, Vader was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease affecting his muscles. The diagnosis was a shock, but there was relief in catching it early. Vader was prescribed medication to manage the condition.
Thanks to Sabrina’s sharp instincts, Vader received the timely medical attention he needed. He continues to visit Sabrina every four weeks, his bond with her stronger than ever. Sabrina’s attentiveness and care have truly made a difference in Vader’s life.
