6 Reasons to Celebrate Take Your Dog to Work Day

Bringing your dog to work has many benefits. Your work ethic, morale and the overall happiness will be boosted by the power of puppy love.

Number One

Positivity and Socialization Will Increase

On any given day as we walk our furry friends we meet people along the way and strike up conversations with ease. The same thing can be true in the work environment. Having your dog at work is a fantastic way to socialize and bond with coworkers. Our fur babies allow us to interact with people in a positive, non-threatening way during our business day.

Number Two

Dogs Boost Physical Activity

Instead of grabbing a sweat or salty treat to beat the afternoon blues and lack of initiative from being glued to your chair, take a break and walk your dog. Not only is this a healthy alternative but it helps clear the mind and energizes creativity.

Number Three

Eleviate the Burden for the Need to Work Late

The stress and anxiety of having to rush home to let our furry loved ones out for some relief or to feed them their dinner is now gone as you can work as long as you want or need to because you are prepared and have them by your side.

Number Four

Heightened Morale

Having our furry loved ones at work with can boost morale, lighten your mood and even push some of the negative energies out of the way. Have you ever felt like you were just out of creativity or uninspired? Then why not take a break and spend some quality time with man’s best friend. Let their charms, personality and quirkiness inspire you, and let’s face it who can feel bad after a snuggle and a kiss!

Number Five

A Sense of Value as an Employee is Established

We all spend so much time and energy every day at work. It often becomes our home away from home. Having the work-space feel more like home with creature comforts such as a snack station, a wellness zone, happy hour and perks like summer hours can add value to our working lives. Having your best friend by your side can also be high on the perks list. When we feel like we can be better pet parents and enjoy our work-space it becomes a win-win!

Number Six

Our Dogs Are a Healthy Source of Therapy & a Stress Reliever

Dogs are a reliable source of therapy which is why hospitals and nursing homes often rely on dogs to improve the mental, emotional and physical health of their patients. Studies show that our dogs can improve our ability to focus, our attitudes, emotions, relieve stress and aide in our overall happiness. When we are in a good mood and are less stressed we are more inspired which motivates us to work harder.
