1. You’ll be More Social
If you’ve ever talked to a total stranger on the street because you were walking with your dog, or spend 20 minutes schmoozing with a fellow dog owner at the local park, then you know a pet can be the best tool for meeting new people. Having your pet at work is a great way to socialize with coworkers, bond with your boss or new employees, and actually interact with other people in a positive, social (non work-related way) during your busy day.
2. Pets Encourage Physical Activity
When the mid-day slump hits, instead of reaching for a candy bar or mindlessly snacking on some chips while you are glued to your desk chair, you’ll take a break, you’ll get up and you’ll walk your dog. More physical activity during your day can never be a bad thing; in fact, it’s not only good for your healthy and your weight, but it can help clear your mind as well.
