When is Bring Your Dog to Work Day? 

The event will take place on Friday, June 21 2019

Why do people take part? 

The day is organised to help raise money for animal welfare charities and according to Hownd ‘scientific studies have concluded that the presence of pets can substantially reduce a person’s stress level’. 

They also say that bringing a pooch into the office can increase ‘job satisfaction, team co-operation and morale’.

In return for a minimum donation of £100, your company’s logo and website link will be displayed on Bring Your Dog to Work Day’s website homepage.
