Dog ‘Washes for Wishes’ to benefit Make-A-Wish

Pet Evolution will host its annual “Washes for Wishes” event on Saturday, April 27, at all Pet Evolution stores, including the Eden Prairie location, to benefit Make-A-Wish during its World Wish Month. 

Pet parents can bring their dogs to the local store and treat them to a self-serve wash in one of Pet Evolution’s washing stations for a minimum $20 donation. No appointment is necessary. All proceeds from the “Washes for Wishes” event will go directly to Make-A-Wish.

“Dogs bring so much joy into our lives, and through ‘Washes for Wishes,’ we’re able to spread a little bit of that joy to those who need it most while leaving the bathing cleanup to us,” said Rian Thiele, CEO and founder of Pet Evolution. “We believe in committing to our communities and doing right for them, so this event is just one way we can join hands – and paws – to support the incredible work of Make-A-Wish.”

Pet parents can visit Pet Evolution in Eden Prairie between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on April 27 to wash their dogs in tubs that include anti-slip mats, easy step-in for large or senior dogs, handheld sprayers, natural shampoo, unlimited bath towels and professional-grade blow-dryers. Eden Prairie’s Pet Evolution is located at 8248 Commonwealth Drive.

Pet Evolution first announced its national partnership with Make-A-Wish in 2021. The partnership is company-wide and extends to every brand location. April is World Wish Month, and on April 29, Make-A-Wish celebrates World Wish Day, an annual event commemorating more than 40 years of granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
