The Bikini Bottom Pet Show is an event that takes place in Best in Show/The Best Pet/The Pet Show/Four Absorbing Stories and in the episodes "Grooming Gary" and "Pet the Rock." This event is sponsored by Barnacle Bites, is hosted by Fred Fishley, is judged by either Bubble Bass and two other fish or Incidental 64, is officiated by the official, and is organized by the "Bikini Bottom Kennel Club" at the Recreation Center. Owners bring their pets, mostly snails and worms, to compete against one another. The one with the best pet either gets pictured on the label of every can of Barnacle Bites and may also get a lifetime supply of Barnacle Bites or gets a ribbon and/or a trophy.
The judge looks at the snails and worms to see if it is good enough to have a chance of winning, using factors like the "decent stalk length," "hinge action," "excellent bow stretch," "eyelid capillaries," "digestive chamber," and the "check the undercarriage."
