Commitments to Our Local Community and the Wider Pet Industry

Volunteer Commitment
Every third Sunday of the month, from 9 am - 2 pm, we’re volunteering with North Minneapolis Pet Resource Center providing free nail trims to our local community at their monthly reduced cost veterinary clinics. Afterwards, from 3 pm - 5:30 pm, we’re at Urban Tails Pet Supply for a 50% off cat only nail trim clinic.
Upcoming: In partnership with MyPitbullisFamily (a local, registered 501(c)(3) dedicated to accessible pet ownership), we are currently designing a lecture series on various grooming topics.

Events
At the 2025 Twin Cities Pride Festival, we showed up as allies and offered nail trims/grinds/polish, pet safe airbrushing, gems and feathers. We also were able to help our neighbors, The Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue, advertise their adoptable dogs (pictured above).
We also participated in Twin Cities Pride’s Trunk-or-Treat event in Loring Park on October 26th, 2025 from 11 am - 2 pm, handing out goodie bags for both two and four legged kids, as well fun games and prizes!

Continuing Education
We attended the 2025 All American Groom Show in Schaumburg, IL to further our education and earn certifications in Pet First Aid & CPR, Feline Safe Handling, Geriatric Grooming, and Asian Fusion (a creative grooming course), alongside industry leaders and educators.
Upcoming: Everyone in our salon is planning to take the AKC’s Safe Handling in the Salon course and earn our AKC S.A.F.E. Certified Salon accreditation this January!
