Join the revolution
We are the leader in creating pet-friendly workplaces!
The typical office space is a thing of the past & workplaces are evolving based on people's needs. More than ever people are striving to find a good work-life balance.
Too often people are restricted by their work which can hinder them from having the lifestyle they want, in particular, owning a dog.
The solution, allowing owners to bring their dogs into the workplace, and maybe sooner than you think, cats and other small pets.
Imagine, not just the competitive edge you would have as an employer, but the gift you could give to your company or workplace. The gift and joy that are dogs.

benefits of dogs in the workplace
LOWERS
STRESS
Stress in the workplace is inevitable, but studies show dogs can help lower stress levels and improve employee job satisfaction. After all, pets tend to create a comfortable work environment that helps to counterbalance any on-the-job tension. When you think about how adorable dogs can be, it makes complete sense that having them around the workplace would be everyone happier.
A FLUFFY OFFICE IS A FRIENDLY OFFICE
BOOSTS
EMPLOYEE HEALTH
Dogs are a social catalyst. Stopping by someones desk to give their dog a belly rub inevitably lead to conversation with their owners. Surveys have shown that dogs in the workplace lead to more trust in the workplace, resulting in greater collaboration. Dogs are an easy way to improve relationship among co-workers.
Office dogs encourage healthy work habits. Because dog's need to go outside from time to time, this encourages workers to take a short break, which is great for their mental health, fitness and increases social behaviours in the workplace.
Active pets require active humans and active humans make for more energised employees.
IMPROVES
COMMUNICATION
Poor communication in the workplace can be a huge hindrance to productivity. Particularly in offices where people tend to stick to themselves, dogs in the office encourage team building. Dogs create an instant shared interest and can facilitate deeper conversations—which is great for improving communication in the office.
INCREASES CREATIVITY & PRODUCTIVITY
Going for a walk, taking a break or playing with a pup is proven to deliver mental heath benefits allowing the brain to relax which boosts inspiration increasing creativity and results in positive outcomes.
Employees feel rejuvenated just from being in the presence of dogs due to their happy nature and hormonal affect from patting them.
PROMOTES A POSITIVE
WORK CULTURE
Everyone is addicted to that instant mood booster you get when a dog greets you excitedly. That kind of satisfaction can only come from the unconditional adoration of a canine—and it can do wonders for office morale. Dealing with the pressure of a tight deadline? Keep calm and pat the dog!
IMPROVES CONFIDENCE & IS A MORALE BOOSTER
It can be scary to be the new person on the team, but imagine having your best friend by your side helping you make a great impression.
Having a dog makes office life more spontaneous and fun.
Happier to be with their owner
Lots of new smells to explore
