Payment accepted: One (1) nose kiss! 💋🐶

We'll never turn down a little puppy love — even when it's served with a bunch of slobber (enthusiasm). 😄✨ Our team at The Barking Lot gives every dog the care, comfort, and attention they deserve... and sometimes in return, we get paid in slobbery kisses.

Honestly? Best job ever. Tag someone whose pup insists on post-groom kisses! 🐾💛

Talk about a transformation! 🌟🐶 This sweet pup came in for a grooming session and left looking (and feeling) fresh, fluffy, and full of confidence.

Our team knows how to bring out the best in every coat — whether it's a deep clean, stylish trim, or just a good brush-out to get rid of that extra fluff.

At The Barking Lot, we love turning tangled fur into confidence boosts. Ready for your dog's 'Before & After' moment? Book your spot today! 🐾✨

As a pro's pro, Helena bring skill, patience, and compassion to each grooming session and each pup she works with in general. A lifelong animal lover, she shares her home with her husband, Jake, son, Logan, and their beloved Shelties — who she also competes with in AKC events! 🏆🐕

Say hello to Enzo — our October Pup of the Month! 👏🐾

This 9-year pug still knows how to have a good time, has perfected the art of charm, and brings laughter and love everywhere he goes. Enzo's known for his signature howl (when he wants a little extra attention), frozen find it skills, and he loves his friends, Marco and Remi, and his sister, Queenie.

His energy is contagious and we love having him as part of The Barking Lot family, so give it up for this big personality in a small package — Enzo, the Pup of the Month! 🐶👑

Ever notice how dogs seem to know exactly when to be close to us? 🐾💛

This little pup is hanging out, learning, observing, and soaking in all the good vibes. Moments like this are why we do what we do — nurturing happy, confident dogs who know they're part of a family here at The Barking Lot. 🐶✨

Just when you thought our daycare dogs couldn't get any cuter... they went and made art! 🖌🐾

We had a Craft Day this week at the Barking Lot and our pups created spider paw paintings that are equal parts spooky and sweet — and we couldn't be more obsessed with the results. 👏🕷
