Marks, a Virginia woman, said she dropped off her 2-year-old golden retriever Colby at a Petco in Midlothian, Virginia, early Friday morning. After receiving no call to pick up Colby she called the groomers by 1 p.m., so she called and was told to go to a local animal clinic.
When Marks arrived at the local clinic she said she walked in and saw Colby on the vet's table with "glazed over" eyes. Marks claims the Petco assistant manager told her they had given Colby a bath and he was in the drying unit when they found him. Colby's temperature after death was at 105 degrees.

Petco made a statement that "no heat" was used in the process of grooming at the local Virginia Petco.
"The groomers involved have been suspended while we complete a thorough investigation," Petco said in statement Monday night. The company also noted that "there was no heat used in the drying process during Colby's groom."
Marks nevertheless doesn't understand how Colby's temperature reached so high without the process of using heat and is still seeking answers in how Colby died.
