Everyday office life with the beastly good “woof” effect

June 21 is "Take your dog to work day". Reason enough to start looking for pet-friendly companies now. Our video gives an insight into everyday life at Nestlé Purina and introduces the fully integrated office dogs! Are four-legged companions also welcome in your company? Then we also have the right competition for you!

Here at the "Kronen Zeitung" it has never been unusual for almost everyone to have treats in their desk drawer or dog toys lying around in some offices. Even the porter in the foyer greets every animal companion with a little treat. A love of animals is not just an important issue for us on paper; our corporate culture has always made room for four-legged friends at the Pressehaus. The positive impact this has on everyday working life is now becoming increasingly well known and is also being promoted at other companies.

At "Pets at Work", four-legged friends are part of the team 
Purina's " Pets at Work" initiative has been promoting pets in the workplace since 2016 and also advises companies on how to create the right conditions for well-functioning human-animal teams. Because one thing is certain: Bello is one of the best colleagues in the world. Guaranteed!

With the right framework conditions, both two- and four-legged friends benefit from a dog-friendly office. My Caya is with me every day. She enriches my working day and that of my colleagues immensely and is happy to be part of it.
