🚨 INVESTIGATION: Albuquerque Dog Grooming Chain Accused of Animal Abuse 🚨

Over the past few weeks, dozens of dog owners and former employees have come forward with disturbing allegations against Barking Bad Grooming and related shops tied to owner Alex Campbell.

📌 What we found:
• Dogs allegedly returned home with serious cuts, chemical burns, and even life-threatening injuries.
• One customer says her dog’s eye was glued shut with super glue before needing $2,000 in emergency surgery.
• Another claims her pup’s cornea was burned during grooming, leaving him on long-term medication.
• Former staff members accuse Campbell of allowing untrained workers to handle pets, with one dog allegedly dying after being left unattended.
• Multiple testimonies say Campbell himself abused animals, including strangling a dog to speed up grooming.

📌 The bigger picture:
• Barking Bad has been in legal trouble before. In 2015, KRQE reported the City of Albuquerque took Campbell to court for operating without permits.
• The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating the business, with victims being referred to Detective Kevin Carhart of the Special Victims Unit.

📌 Community voices:
💬 “How are they still in business?”
💬 “They hurt my dog and lied about it.”
💬 “This is a pattern of abuse and cover-ups.”

🐾 If your pet has been affected, you’re urged to document everything, file official complaints, and contact authorities.
