These Companies are Extremely Dog-Friendly
When you are searching for a job, you may be looking into some of the added perks that you can get for working at a particular company. Maybe you get a discount on merchandise, extra vacation days, or maybe, the perk is pet-related!
Here are the top dog-friendly companies to work for.
Etsy
Located in Brooklyn, NY, the Etsy office is an amazingly pet-friendly place to work. They have been allowing employees to bring their dogs to work since 2005, and are not shy about cuddling up with their dogs during the work day.
Urban Outfitters
Not only does the retailer sell some of the cutest dog-clothes money can buy, but they also love to welcome dogs into their headquarters in Philadelphia. They have dog parks on-site at their office so they can get some zoomies out during the work day, and they also have a page on their website that highlights some of their employee’s pups! To get in on the fun, leashed dogs are welcome in all Urban Outfitter stores.
If you were to take the characteristic “dog-lover” and turn it into a company, you would end up with Google. Google has been a dog-friendly company since 1999 and even wrote its love of dogs into its code of conduct which states, “Google’s affection for our canine friends is an integral facet of our corporate culture. We like cats, but we’re a dog company, so as a general rule we feel cats visiting our offices would be fairly stressed out.”
Subaru
Not only does Subaru love its own dogs, but they also love to help out dogs in need too. This is why Subaru partners with animal shelters to raise awareness for dogs in need of adoption. They adopted their Subaru Loves Pets initiative which hosts adoption events and raises money for pets in need. As of now, they have donated over $42 million to rescue organizations that have helped 100,000 dogs find homes.
Ben & Jerry’s
This ice cream company refers to their dog employees as “K9 to 5ers” and treats them as their most prized office inhabitants. Dogs are greeted each morning with treats and pets before they get busy doing important work for the ice cream industry.
Whether you work for a dog-friendly company, are looking for a job with one, or just want to support companies that share your values, there are plenty of dog-friendly companies out their for you to discover with your pooch.
