While almost every second Hungarian household now has a dog, more people than ever want to take their pets with them to work. According to the experience of Mars, one of the world’s leading confectionery, food and pet food manufacturers, dog-friendly offices have many advantages not only for pets, but also for farmers and companies. On August 26, World Dog Day, when we celebrate people’s bond with their four-legged friends, Mars has rounded up the top benefits of dog-friendly offices and is encouraging other companies to follow suit.

There are several pet-friendly offices now

According to a recent survey conducted jointly by OnePoll and Banfield Pet Hospital (also part of Mars), half of the executives surveyed said they plan to allow pets in the office, and 59% say they want more flexibility provides employees who want to work from home with their pet. The survey also revealed that 71% of Gen Z respondents and 48% of millennials have asked or plan to ask their employer to create pet-friendly offices.

Mars, owner of popular dog food brands such as Pedigree and Cesar, has been at the forefront of introducing dog-friendly offices for more than a decade. Since the pandemic, the number of adopted dogs has increased continuously, so the company is now widely sharing its positive experiences of introducing pet-friendly offices, not only for the sake of the dogs, but also for the well-being of the employees and the benefits for the organizations.
