I established Dreadlocks for Dingoes in 1995 for the discerning pet owners who wanted and needed a local professional grooming store with a holistic approach and concern for their family pets. I embraced this key fundamental understanding and belief while operating for years out of pet hospitals and the Humane Society before opening my shop in South Minneapolis.
I truly love and have an affinity with all animals which is one of the reasons that we take even difficult to handle dogs; they just need a little more patient loving care.

Our mission at Dreadlocks for Dingoes is to change or support the kind of nutrition that will enhance pets’ lives in mind, body and spirit. That’s why we have researched and made available the best foods with your pet in mind. Going back to what the species is supposed to be eating… meat! We strive to reduce the frequency of medically related issues brought on by poor nutrition, such as diabetes, irritable bowels, inflammation, allergies and skin or ear infections. We are interested in much more than just a healthy natural diet – we strive to provide a way of life that allows each pet to fulfill their destiny, while looking and feeling great! There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your pet happy inside and out. – Lisa Rojas, Owner Dreadlocks for Dingoes
