We've partnered with known pet experts like Banfield, Waltham and the BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ program. The CESAR® brand fielded a survey to identify common trends among pet owners as they relate to the workplace. The survey found that dog owners recognize the benefits of being able to bring their pet to work, and in fact, 88% of co-workers agree that having pets in the workplace improves employee morale, with 67% of people agreeing that their pet actually makes them more productive. Even more people (79%) agree that pets improve workplace relationships, and a vast majority (85%) agree that having pets in the office gives them a greater work-life balance and improved personal satisfaction with their work (77%). The survey was conducted online and polled 1,004 U.S. adults ages 18 or older.
