1. The coronavirus is still spreading rapidly in the US

More than 1,000 Americans are dying each day.

But PetSmart JUST REOPENED ITS DOG GROOMING SALONS

PetSmart 2. The internal guidance says employees should accept pets from people WHO SAYS THEY ARE COVID-19 POSITIVE or who show up with symptoms.

They should groom the pet with PPE

What if PPE are unavailable? Groom the pet anyway and just don't touch your face

PetSmart 3. Petsmart also recognizes that groomers will need to violate social distancing guidelines

For example, groomers may need to help each other lift large dogs onto a table

But Petsmart says they can maintain distance by lifting OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE DOG

PetSmart 4. @Petsmart says this is being done “in accordance with government orders.”

I asked them why all the LA salons were open when the city said it was prohibited

In response @Petsmart said they were closing all their salons in LA
