Community
Our purpose is to improve the lives of dogs and their owners.
With this comes a responsibility to give back to our local communities and to improve how we can best care for our dogs.
Tails.com Community Fund
We’re big fans of supporting charities and community groups that are set up to improve the lives of dogs and people.
In 2024 we supported the training of an assistance dog through Canine Partners, a UK-based registered charity dedicated to transforming the lives of adults with physical disabilities by partnering them with specially trained dogs.
We also continue to work closely with our long term charity partner StreetVet, who deliver free essential veterinary care and services to the pets of people experiencing homelessness in multiple locations around the UK.
Our donations have supported numerous projects so far, such as funding training for new therapy dogs and vital veterinary treatment for the dogs of homeless people.
Find out more about these important causes and how we’re helping on our Tails.com Community Fund page:
Paws for a Cause
Every year everyone at Tails.com is given a volunteer day to support a cause they love. This could be anywhere from soup kitchens and homeless shelters to sponsored runs and charity fundraisers - our people can choose where they want to make a difference.
Some team members swapped their strategy docs and spreadsheets for wellies and gardening gloves to help out Ealing Wildlife Group, as part of their project to build a new nature reserve. This involved removing rubbish, clearing weeds and planting new flowers - the team enjoyed testing their amateur gardening skills!
Tails.com Data Labs
Helping the community isn’t just about raising money for charity or volunteering our time, it’s also about sharing the valuable knowledge we’ve gathered since launching in 2014. It’s a long-term project to use our data to improve the lives of dogs and their owners.
Information will help to further scientific knowledge about the health, wellbeing and life span of our dogs, so we can all enjoy our dogs for longer.
Happy Dog Cookbook
Our cookbook for our four-legged friends.
It’s written by our Head Vet Sean McCormack and features leading nutritionist and proud dog lover Annabel Karmel. The book celebrates the role that nutritious treating plays in nurturing the bond between dogs and their owners.
All proceeds go towards our long term charity partner StreetVet, which offers free veterinary care to the homeless and their pets in cities and communities across the UK.
