Allowing your four-legged friend to join your work day is cute and everything, but there are actual, real benefits to having pets in the workplace that extend beyond simple novelty:

1. Improved Health

[Companionship and closeness = higher levels of serotonin and oxytocin
= more positivity and more energy]

2. Stress Relief
[Stress balls are way more fun to fetch]

3. Heightened Creativity
[Higher levels of activity and interaction create a more engaging and energetic workplace]

4. Increased Productivity

7. Contagious Compatibility
