June 20th is Take Your Dog to Work Day! I’m fortunate that my dogs are with me every day while I work, but now those who have to leave the house have an excuse to spend some extra time with the furrier members of the family!

Take Your Dog to Work Day was started in 1999 to celebrate companion dogs and encourage people to check out their local animal shelters and breed rescues. Businesses are also encouraged to welcome pets on this day to help promote adoptions.

Want your business to join in? Check out these tips and facts to present to your boss - did you know that 1 in 5 businesses already allow pets during the workday? Make sure you prep both your dog and your workspace if you’re planning on participating!

Curious what the top 10 dog-friendly companies are?

1. Google
2. Amazon.com
3. Banfield, the Pet Hospital
4. Amazon.com, Inc
5. Petsmart
6. Autodesk
7. ValueOptions
8. Nature Conservancy
9. Be Your Best
10. Advent Software

Have you ever taken your dog to work? Are you going to try next month?

    I love this idea! Is this a well publicized event? In other words, do you think other people (besides me) will be taking their dogs to work?
