Dogs at the Office?

We all know dogs make everything better — but did you know they might also make your team more productive, your culture stronger, and your turnover lower?

No, this isn’t just about having a cute golden retriever sitting under your desk (though we support that!). There’s real evidence that bringing your dog to work can do serious good for your business.

Let’s break it down — because once you see the benefits, you’ll wonder why your company hasn’t gone dog-friendly already.

1. Dogs Lower Stress (Like, a Lot)

Work is stressful. Deadlines, meetings, overflowing inboxes — the usual chaos. But when a dog is in the room?

Cortisol (your stress hormone) drops. That’s been proven.

Studies show that employees who bring their dogs to work feel significantly less stressed throughout the day. Just petting a dog can calm your nervous system. It’s like nature’s therapy — and it doesn’t come with a co-pay.
