I just moved to Florence last year from Charleston so maybe I need to lower my expectations…read more I've tried 3 grooming salons since I moved here and so far they are all sub-par in my opinion. I thought Bark Avenue was going to be different, because the first groom we had was wonderful, but so far they are inconsistent. The times I get a full groom done on my labradoodles they're usually done very well. Then I get a maintenance groom and it's like they get a bath but no more; even though I specifically ask for feet, face, ears and hygiene areas done. Today I returned from picking them up and my one dog's ears are full of mats. She has long hair on her ears, and the mats are very visible on the ends. I called and the groomer said she "didn't see any mats..." Well, she's very young and I'm pretty old, and not wearing my glasses and I can see them. The attitude of the younger lady there seems to be indifference . She never smiles, or greets the dogs. She just seems like she hates working there tbh. I'm sure that is not what the owner of Bark Avenue wants in an employee. I hate leaving bad reviews but I guess I'm still on the search for a decent groomer in Florence.

More worried about collecting $80 Here's the full story of Reese's end of life today. For a year I've been concerned about her pain and didn't want her suffering. Her Veterinarian was certain it was arthritis and could be managed. 6 months + of monthly injections and adding 2 more pain killers over that time nothing seemed to improve. Today was her arthritis injection appointment and having physically carried her in and outdoors the last 2 days to potty I called ahead and notified them it was time to end her suffering. A different Veterinarian in the practice saw her this morning and decided it her legs were "very bad and most likely advanced cancer" and was certainly the best decision. Heres what hurts, month after month after month of $200 vet technician appointments for arthritis treatments that apparently gave her no relief. The money isn't the issue as much as her extended suffering is if the diagnoses was that off. So, im sitting on the floor, my back against the public hall door of the examination room, her head in my lap. The Doc had given her a light sedative to relieve her anxiety so they could insert an IV needle and left the room saying she'd get sleepy in anout 10 mins. So im speaking softly to her rubber her ears,saying my goodbye's. This is her last 10 mins of knowing me, a time to be at peace and say goodbyes. Suddenly the door hits me in the back, its the front desk cashier. She says to me through the crack in the door, Mr Osward its gonna be 80 dollars today can i get your credit card or check if your using one and ill ring you up? "Are you serious I responded. I'm on the floor tears running down my face, my dogs head in my lap, her last moments of consciousness on earth, my last moments to console and comfort her and they interrupt it to get paid for a service they havent even performed yet...she hasnt even been put to sleep yet. I tossed a credit card through the crack in the door telling her to charge what she wanted. So thats the last few minutes with Reeses and the memory im probably stuck with. Not the peaceful sorrowful last few minutes i wished for either of us. 16 yrs, 3 generations of dogs, this is NOT Dr. Charles Hewitts Westside Veterinary Clinic in any form now.

I had the opportunity to volunteer with Majestic Wings Rescue (MWR) after donating some bird…read moresupplies in November 2025. I've volunteered at dog rescues in the past (fostered 28 dogs), but this was my first experience with a bird rescue. Audrey and Tina were so patient with all of my questions. Audrey even gave me advice that's helped me with my ducorp's cockatoo, Silly Billy. I had no intention of adopting, but a little goffin's cockatoo, Coco(nut) connected with me. In January 2026, I formally adopted her. Audrey has been helpful with any follow-up questions I've had. Like every rescue I've ever dealt with, the adoption paperwork clearly states adoption expectations, e.g., no breeding, trying to make money off of, or giving the bird to someone else. I felt like the adoption fee was fair, and I know that money is being used to help cover food, vet fees, etc. for the birds. Heck, a routine check up at the avian vet for Silly Billy costs me more than Coco(nut)'s adoption fee. If anyone tells you birds aren't expensive, they're not taking care of their birds. Those little pterodactyl's vet visits cost a fortune even when it's a routine checkup! If you want a bird, I suggest getting one from a rescue. Volunteering at a rescue gives you a healthy perspective on what it takes to care for a bird. Find a bird that connects with you and is a good fit. That bird is likely going to be a different bird than what you originally wanted.

She ensures they are vet checked, disease checked, DNA sexed and works with them on diet and training until she finds the right home. I have referred several potential adopters to her due to the level of support she provides. It is a small rescue with big goals and a lot of birds no other rescue would take. She loves them all, the good, bad, ugly, bites, screamers, plucked, ill, old, young, small to extra large. She puts literally her entire life into the rescue. She also stands up for the birds if they are adopted out and it turns out the adopters were dishonest or sold the bird elsewhere against the adoption agreement. ​​
