Arf Arf Doggy Day Care

"DISGUSTING. The smell of this place alone is enough to not leave an animal here. As well as the unkept place area outside and building itself. There is also a bed right once you walk in and it isn’t even put together. Would never recommend this place. I was only able to sit in there for three minutes while my dog got his nails clip. The new owner and the dog groom are obviously unable to properly muzzle a dog. The muzzle was in my dogs eye and they told me it was fine. I will never suggest this place again. There are so many better places to go!"

"We sent our fur baby for a few days and as well had her groomed. They were so compassionate, caring and loving for our lil Sadie Michelle Marie. She still smells amazing even after a few weeks since her visit. Im more then impressed with Arf Arf, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE GOING BACK."

"Our dogs stayed here about 6 months ago and had an amazing experience. I love my dogs like they are my children and Art made sure to help my anxiety with leaving them as minimal as possible. I even sent him a few texts while I was gone just checking in and he responded with pictures and updates. When I picked them up they were both clean and happy. I was truly very very happy with our experience here."

"RESPONSE TO OWNERS REPLY: A year ago or 10 years ago, the public still has a right to know what they are getting, and as a consumer I take that responsibility very seriously especially when it’s dealing with leaving your loved ones in a strangers care. I don’t know what your policy is now; however, I can assure you that my dog was left out in the heat of the day as I worked at the hospital right down the street and would pass by on my lunch between 1 and 2pm each day and my dog was outside, as well as, after work at 5 she would be outside. So please don’t try to dismiss my experience as I have no reason to make this up. As far as the expressing of glands, this is NOT a required treatment for dogs, as a matter of fact many veterinarians says it’s not recommended. My dogs diarrhea was a direct result of that treatment, which was given to her just hours before I picked her up for an 8 hour car ride. AND groomers are not encouraged to perform this treatment themselves. Nonetheless, this is a treatment that should have been granted permission from the dogs owner prior to performing. Also, I spoke with the owners right away about this incident. This post is not a year later response as you implied. ORIGINAL POST: My dog was boarded at Arf Arf for one month while I worked in Terre Haute. When I picked her up she was extremely sick and had dirreaha. I drove 8 hours with a sick dog who eventually pooped all over the back seat. My dog is a house dog which I informed them yet my dog was left outside from 7am to about 2 or 3pm in hott June. Her legs were severely eaten by something and she was apparently attacked by another dog and had a skin deep wound on her head where the hair was no longer visible. I was so disheartened to see my dog in this condition. On top of that I asked the owner to bathe my dog the day before I picked her up because she was so dirty from being outside her coat was very discolored. The owner told me that he would "wash the dirt off of her" which I appreciated. When I went to pick her up I was charged $65 for grooming that I didn't request. First off my dogs type doesn't require grooming and if a bath is $65 I feel like I should have been informed before providing such a costly service. They also gave her a bowel treatment without my permission which is why she was so sick and pooping everywhere. My experience was not a good one. The owners were kind people but business is business and my dog is my baby and I entrusted her to them and they did not provide quality service. I feel awful because now I have no idea what all my dog endured. If I find pics I will come back and post them. BTW: thus ya the second time I am posting this. They apparently deleted my initial post."

"The people I trust with my dog when out of town. Art, Jim and Katie are great. Plenty of other dogs to play with under staff supervision. Thanks to Arf Arf, I have a much happier dog."
