Celebrating & Supporting LGBTQ+ Pride Month
Written by: Only Natural Pet
...and Pride 365 days a year.
Only Natural Pet is impassioned about celebrating diversity in our local community and creating an inclusive environment for our associates. In 2020 we started Pride At Work (P.A.W) as part of our Diversity and Inclusion program to create an environment where every associate feels like they truly belong. We will be participating in the local Pride events here in the Boulder, Colorado area where our offices are located.
