The woman had asked the customer to give her dog a treat in an effort to train the animal.
Deputies said the customer agreed and gave the dog a treat, but the dog then bit the customer in the face. While store employees tended to the victim, the woman and the dog left the store.
"The victim sustained serious injuries and requires facial surgery as a result of the bite," authorities said in a Facebook post. This story was reported from Los Angeles.
