Businesses and employees are set to take part in the nation’s 9th Bring Your Dog To Work Day, founded and organised by ethical pet brand HOWND®. The viral event takes place tomorrow (June 24).
Companies large and small will join in what promises to be a dogtastic day at work. Our pawsome pals will be put to work, enjoying trips to the coffee machine, attending meetings, and mostly bringing joy to the workplace. The day is a big fundraiser for animal welfare charities that include the Bring Your Dog To Work Day official charities – All Dogs Matter, Animals Asia and the Surge Sanctuary.
It’s a great opportunity for pet brands to raise their profile by signing up as ‘pawsome partners’ for just £150 minimum. The website receives tens of thousands of hits in the lead up to the big day, and over the years the event has had coverage in The Sun, The Mail on Sunday, Lad Bible, Waitrose Weekend, The Mirror, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and hundreds of media titles, with ITV The Lorraine Show, BBC and other broadcasters and media outlets covering the nation’s favourite day out for dogs.
Some of the pet brands sponsoring this year include, Woof & Brew, Dog Friendly, Fish4Pets, and Canine Cottages. With more signing up each day it’s still not too late to join in and get your logo and info about your brand and a link to your websites on the Bring Your Dog To Work Day website and a shout out on social media – the event always trends at number 1 on Twitter.
Each year the nation embraces this pupular day out when our four-legged furry friends get to spend time with their human at work for the annual charity event that thousands of businesses and dog owners across the country take part in.

Jo Amit, co-founder of Bring Your Dog To Work Day and HOWND, the ethical pet care brand says: “As a nation of dog lovers it’s so exciting to see how this has captured the imagination of dog owners and companies and is growing every year. It is well known that having a dog at work has great mental health benefits and more and more companies are becoming dog friendly. Each year more companies sign up and we’re proud to be involved in something that is doing good and also bringing a lot of joy to the workplace.”
