10 Employers Who Allow Dogs At Work

| Published on July 13, 2020

Want a job where your dog can come to work with you? You may be surprised at how many large companies all across the United States welcome dogs in the workplace.

#1 – Etsy

According to their blog, “The dog-friendly office policy has been in place since Etsy began in 2005, and it’s one of the ways we strive to maintain a casual, creative, and inspiring work environment.”

#2 – Google

Google’s dog policy is very welcoming. In fact, it’s in their code of conduct: “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.” Sorry kitties.

#3 – Amazon

The mega-company Amazon.com encourages employees to bring their dogs to work and even has doggy drinking fountains on the campus. They do require employees to register their pets to make sure they are up-to-date on vaccines and are appropriate for office culture.

#6 – Build-a-Bear Workshop

Why wouldn’t a company that builds stuffed toys want their adult employees to bring their real-life stuffies to work with them? The company even has a Chief Executive dog, Milford who has his own blog.

#9 – Bissell Homecare Inc.

It would make sense that a company that makes cleaning products would be dog friendly. The company has a pet foundation that donates money to other nonprofit animal welfare groups. Inside its headquarters is the “Pet Spot,” the company’s very own doggy daycare for employee dogs!

#10 – Autodesk

This software design company believes that allowing employees to bring their dogs to work encourages them to take breaks during the day. So not only can you bring your dog, but they want you to take breaks? Sounds like a good company to work for.
