Coronavirus: Greene County dog grooming business sues Public Health
Greene County Assistant Prosecutor Anu Sharma said the office was waiting for the new order and will not stop GroomingDales from reopening.
Previously, Amy Howard, owner of GroomingDales, filed the suit against Greene County Public Health, saying that her establishment and the services it provides fell under the exemption allowing for businesses that provide pet healthcare, food, shelter and kennels to remain open.
The lawsuit says the Greene County business provides numerous services to keep pets healthy including coat examination, bathing, hair clipping, ear cleaning to prevent infections and discomfort, identification and treatment of fleas, ticks and ear mites, nail clipping to avoid splayed feet and injured tendons, oral examinations and teeth brushing.

An attorney for Howard said the dog groomers had taken precautions before the shutdown and would continue to do so.
