Nicola Peltz Beckham is taking authorized motion towards a canine groomer over the dying of her chihuahua Nala.

Two weeks after the Bates Motel alum and husband Brooklyn Peltz Beckham introduced their pet had died at age 8, she filed a lawsuit towards New York cell canine grooming service Houndspa LLC, its proprietor Deborah Gittleman and groomer Jony Ceballos, blaming them for the canine?s dying in June.

The July 30 submitting, obtained by E! News, alleges that “upon information and belief, while grooming Nala, Ceballos not only failed to properly care for her, but also Ceballos violently mistreated and/or intentionally abused the dog, with utter callous disregard for her safety, health and well-being.”

E! News has reached out to HoundSpa, Gittleman and Ceballos for remark and has not heard again.

According to the lawsuit, HoundSpa was employed to offer cell grooming companies to 5 of Nicola?s canines at her Westchester County house, with Nala, her 2-pound chihuahua, set to be bathed and dried and have her nails trimmed and her enamel and ears cleaned.
