I've been knowing the owners of Abarkus for many years. They are the most knowledgable groomers/breeders that I have ever known. Obviously this ""Goose"" person has them confused with someone else or is deliberately lying to hurt their business. This person apparently has never owned a dog. Using a ""cage"" is not abuse! It is a safe place for your animal to be when you can not keep your eyes on them. I would much rather see my dog in a cage when I drop her off to be groomed than see her running around on the floor where she can get hurt. And there are about 6 kennels or as Goose calls them ""cages"". Other than that there are about 7 play pens where the dogs have blankets and water. I recently bought a tea cup yorkie from abarkus and they have been there every step of the way. From frantic phone calls early in the morning from me worried because I didn't think she ate enough lol. They always treat every question or problem I have serious no matter how ridiculous I can be! I just wanted to set the record straight Abarkus knows what they are doing and are very loving and caring people.
