5 reasons to bring your dog to work

More and more companies are open to bringing dogs into the office - and for good reason. Dogs not only bring smiles, but also have a positive effect on stress, productivity and atmosphere. Find out here why your dog is the perfect co-worker.

1. A dog creates feelings of happiness

When you pet or cuddle a dog, the "cuddle hormone" oxytocin is released. This hormone strengthens the bond between humans and animals and creates feelings of peace, trust and happiness.
A few minutes of cuddling with your dog can instantly improve your mood.

2. Dogs reduce stress

Research shows that contact with dogs lowers the stress hormone cortisol and stabilizes blood pressure.
Just a stroke on your dog's head or a short play break can help release tension and continue working with renewed focus.

3. More movement and creativity

A short walk with your dog during break time not only stimulates circulation, but also your creativity.
Movement helps you think better, solve problems and get fresh ideas.
So feel free to bring your dog for a short break in the park!

4. A dog creates a convivial atmosphere

A dog in the office brings relaxation and cheerfulness.
Colleagues talk to each other faster, laugh more and the atmosphere becomes looser.
Let your dog play with a toy once in a while - bet even the most serious colleague melts?

5. Cozy for the dog

Your dog does not have to stay home alone and enjoys your company.
Especially for dogs with separation anxiety, this is a fine solution: they feel calmer when their owner is around.
This will make a workday more enjoyable for both of you.
