Take Your Best Friend to Work- Its National Take Your Dog To Work Day

 

National Take Your Dog to Work Day LogoRoughly 2.3 million dogs are taken to work by 1.4 million owners every day: lucky dogs!

Take Your Dog to Work Day was created about 13 years ago by Pet Sitters International to tout  the stress reducing benefits of pets and encourage adoptions from shelters. You can visit them at www.petsit.com

If you can take your dog to work; make sure you have these in mind:

  1. All vaccinations should be up-to-date.
  2. Honestly evaluate whether your dog is a “social” dog and likes being around other dogs and other people. Make sure it is well-trained.
  3. Bring along toys: quiet toys. No squeakers please.
  4. Bring Fido’s bed, water bowl, food bowl with you to make him/her more comfortable.
  5. Use a baby gate if you prefer to keep your office door open.
  6. Make sure people are aware that you have a dog in your office--some folks get upset when one runs up to them unexpectedly.


Who knows, maybe you will make a new assistant out of your dog. My cat Shayna wants to know when is going to be National Bring Your Cat to Work Day?

Very good pointers. Now, I like dogs and have owned a couple over the years BUT most workplaces are not the place for dogs. Neither are pet friendly restaurants, imho

Roger - go to your local shelter and get a dog or cat. It can keep you company at home :)

Doug - there are some workplaces where it does work. Google, for instance, allows it. I'm with you on the restaurants though.

Fred - all the employees would be in petting the dogs; you're right :)

Andrew - there's a treatment for that ;)

Kristin #6- you have not so sweet ones, i presume?

Kristin #7 - I love the idea - as long as they don't have fleas.

I certainly would have missed National Take Your Dog to Work Day without your advisory.  I would need to borrow Waffles from Rob.

Have an outstanding day and a very special weekend.

My Rocky would love to go to work with me today.  Too bad I have a luncheon at noon.  I don't think the restaurant or the patrons would appreciate him sniffing all the plates.

I don't have a dog, but I am not so sure I would want to have to worry about my dog behaving all day long. Reminds me too much of having to take the kids along, somebody else who has to eat, drink and use the bathroom - no thank you, probably not worth the extra effort ;)! - Sorry, I probably clearly show that I don't have a dog!
