Happy 5 years of dedicated doggie bathing, Anna! Nobody can do a deshed bath like you 😍 We are grateful for the kindness and compassion you have for dogs. Your rescue work has changed dog and human lives (including her own furbaby, Ginger)!. A lot of our clients can say they got their fur best friend from Anna because she’s the puppy rescuing queen!

Thanks for your hard work and dedication Anna. We love you!

Happy Birthday 🎉 to our favorite manager ever! She loves her job so much, she wouldn’t even take the day off to celebrate herself.

We love and appreciate you, Mikayla! The Better Bark wouldn’t be quite the same without your shining smile, big brain, and superstar personality🫶❤️

Good morning TBB friends,

We are asking for a favor from our awesome clients. We used to groom these sweet senior doxies, Breezy and Mimi, prior to their owner going into hospice care. Now these two senior pups have been displaced and need medical attention and a new home. If you are able to donate to their care, the information is in the CARE post. If not, could you please SHARE this post in hopes the right person sees these two and wants to open their home to them?! It’s not easy to place a senior pups, but a bonded pair will be near impossible. They need some shares and prayers!!! We have faith a new loving family is on their horizon.

THANK YOU for sharing and/or donating!

❤️Meredith and Mikayla Hunter Messer

Puppy for adoption!! We have us an adorable and active very young abandoned puppy in need of his forever home. So far he has multiple names but we will go with Tater Tot for now. He is approximately 5-6 weeks old. We think he is a boxer mix but he’s cute as a button so if adorable was a breed that’s what we would call him. If you’re interested please text us at 864-903-3806 for a meet and greet.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Chelsea! 🎉

Chelsea is one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and we’re so lucky she’s part of The Better Bark family. She’s kind, patient, hardworking, and always willing to do whatever she can to help whether it’s for a coworker, a client, or one of the dogs in her care!

She has a special gift with puppies and Golden Retrievers (because she def identifies as a golden retriever 😂) and anyone who’s met her knows how naturally caring she is! She puts her whole heart into every groom and always takes the time to do what’s best for each dog.

More than anything, we’re thankful for the person she is!!She brings so much kindness, positivity, and compassion to our shop every day. We would be lost without you on our team!!🥹

Happy Birthday, Chelsea Kompier! We hope this year brings you as much happiness as you bring to everyone around you. ❤️🐾

Help us wish the kindest soul the happiest birthday in the comments! She really is THE BEST!!🥳

Please WELCOME our new old man salon chihuahua, Worm! He was found abandoned and wandering a parking lot. Now he is the son of our manager, Mikayla Hunter Messer. Feel free to pet Worm when you come visit. He does growl but he has no teeth so no worries about bites 🤣.

🐾 Friendly update! 🐾

Starting August 1st, some of our grooming services will have a small price adjustment of $5–10. As the cost of grooming supplies and products continues to increase, this small adjustment helps us continue providing the quality care your pets deserve.

Thank you for trusting us with your pups and for supporting our small business. We appreciate every one of you and look forward to seeing you and your furry family members soon! ❤️

If you have any questions, just let us know!
