Crunching and Drooling over the numbers at the office… Zoomin Groomin offers tips for participating in “Take Your Dog to Work” Day
April 20, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Crunching and Drooling over the numbers at the office…DATELINE: NORWELL, MASS … Employers can experience first hand the benefits of the positive impact of pets in the workplace by participating in the worldwide “Take Your Dog to Work Day” on Friday, June 23rd.
Organized by Pet Sitters International, “Take Your Dog to Work Day” recognizes dogs as truly great companions. Around the world, pet sitters, animal shelters and businesses will participate in this special day, touching the hearts of dog-less co-workers which in effect, results in the adoption of many homeless dogs from local shelters and humane societies. And, if that’s not reason enough to celebrate “Take Your Dog to Work Day” then consider the studies which have shown that pets in the workplace can boost morale, productivity…even sales.
Zoomin Groomin Mobile Pet Spa, with corporate offices in Norwell and franchises available throughout the U.S., offers tips for making “Take Your Dog to Work Day” truly successful:
Once your employer has agreed to support “Take Your Dog to Work Day”, be sure to register your company at www.petsit.com.
If your employer supports “Take Your Dog to Work Day” but is concerned about work disruption, consider asking an animal shelter volunteer to help out or find a Pet Sitter to assist with the dogs’ (potty and entertainment) needs. For more information about pet sitters, visit www.petsit.com.
Pack a small bag with the essentials your dog will need including a water dish, small doggy snacks, a favorite stuffed or chew toy and of course, your dog’s lead (if he/she is not already wearing it).
Introduce your dog buddy to your co-workers. If your dog is shy, be patient and let him/her warm up to people.
If you have a rambunctious dog and can’t bring him/her into work, consider bringing him/her in for a very brief introduction, or post and pass around photos of your precious pooch.
Share a funny or heartwarming story about your best canine friend.
When you take a work break, take a walk with your dog and a co-worker or two.
Let your pet shine in the limelight of your co-workers’ attentions. Encourage your co-workers to talk to, pet, hug or hold your dog.
Most importantly, remember that your participation in this special day may help save homeless pets’ lives.
"We really get into Take Your Dog to Work Day. Not only do we bring our dogs in to our office, we also visit business neighbors in our building and really spread some smiles," says Donna Sheehy, CEO of Zoomin Groomin. “When non-dog owners see the relationship and loving bond between a dog and owner, it encourages them to consider giving orphaned pets a good home.”
