Creating a safe space for all dogs with a focus on reactive, nervous, and disabled pups who need extra patience.
At Best Paw Forward, our mission is simple: to provide a calm, one-on-one grooming experience that supports the well-being of every dog in our care. We focus on anxious, reactive, and sensitive pups, offering gentle, kennel-free services right at your doorstep. With spa-level grooming, compassionate handling, and high standards of cleanliness, we help your dog look and feel their best. At BPF, it’s more than grooming, it’s a promise of kindness, care, and comfort all brought to your doorstep with our mobile dog grooming van.
At Best Paw Forward, we go beyond grooming. From holiday crafts and photo opportunities to post-surgery baths, we add meaningful touches. We’re part of the community too offering support like meal trains when families need it most. With us, you’re more than a client. You’re family.
Best Paw Forward is proudly owned and operated by Andrea Wilber, with support from her husband Tyler and daughter Kylee. Tyler oversees all builds and maintenance, keeping the mobile dog grooming van safe and reliable behind the scenes. Kylee often lends a hand during appointments, helps prep crafts for Andrea and clients to finish off, and even takes on a few bath dogs of her own. Together, they’ve built a one-of-a-kind grooming salon that specializes in anxious and reactive dogs and offers a calm, compassionate environment where pups feel safe, understood, and free to thrive.
Best Paw Forward was born out of necessity and built with heart. Andrea began her grooming journey at PetSmart as a bather, but after facing workplace challenges and realizing she needed a healthier environment, she decided to create her own. With a foundation in safety and anatomy -and a deep love for animals- Andrea took a leap of faith and taught herself to groom. Tyler built a shed salon on their property, and thanks to overwhelming support from the community, Best Paw Forward quickly flourished. Within three years, their success made mobile grooming a reality and bringing one-on-one, low-stress care to dogs who need it most.
Andrea’s lifelong love for dogs started early, volunteering with rescues, assisting with transports, and always finding ways to lend a hand to animals in need. That dedication led her to open Best Paw Forward in 2022, a grooming business built on trust, patience, and a deep respect for each dog’s emotional well-being. After witnessing the long-term effects of rushed or harmful grooming practices, Andrea committed herself to being different. She specializes in working with anxious, fearful, and reactive dogs, offering a calm, one-on-one experience where they can feel safe and supported. Her goal is simple but powerful: to make sure every dog who steps into her care is given the chance to relax, rebuild trust, and thrive.
In just a few years, her approach has earned not only the loyalty of pet parents but public recognition—Best Paw Forward was proudly voted Best of Coastal Mississippi in both 2024 and 2025.
