Police officer O'Neill, from Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, is campaigning for dog groomers to be regulated, which animal welfare chiefs agree needs to happen.
The SSPCA have said Harry's death was not clinically attributable to the groomers but backed calls for regulations.
Lisa said she "did do a bit of research" about the groomer and that he had 30 years of experience and had won awards so she "had absolutely no qualms about taking him there."
However because she was "a novice" she didn't know to ask the question about the drying cages.
She continued: “When I got him back he looked good, he smelled lovely, he was desperate for a drink but I thought that was quite natural after being dried. So away we went and I was quite happy to trust them."
O'Neill therefore returned to the groomer's in May - but got a phone call about an hour after dropping him off, telling her that Harry had "collapsed while being dried."
She still had no idea about the drying cage.
