Fun and Prize Winners at #WorkLikeaDog Twitter Party

Rocco finds motivation to work in  Zuke's Genuine Jerky

We had a terrific time at the  #WorkLikeaDog Twitter Party last night! The Tweets were flying, the prizes were flowing and photos were fabulous!

Co-hosted with our Event Barkers partners DogTipper and All Things Dog Blog, this party celebrated Zuke’s treats and the annual search with The Bark magazine  to find the country’s most dog-friendly workplaces.

Is your workplace dog-friendly? You can still nominate your company or organization!


The party was so much fun as everyone shared photos of their dogs “working.” Here are just a FEW of the many great photos everyone shared:

Review: Zuke's Genuine Jerky Fuels Rocco to #WorkLikeaDog

Rocco is a treat connoisseur, so when he got the chance to sample new Genuine Jerky treats from Zuke's he put them to his rigorous test.

Do they make me want to run faster and jump higher?
Are they healthy and nutritious?
Do they smell and taste delicious?

The answer, says Rocco, is a resounding yes!

We took Genuine Jerky to our recent agility trials and while no treats are allowed IN the ring, it's important to have savory, healthy treats that your dog LOVES when they finish their run and head outside the ring! Great rewards are super important!

Here's a look at just some of the ribbons Rocco earned the last two weeks with the help Genuine Jerky!

Here are a few reasons I love Genuine Jerky as much as Rocco does!

• It smells mouth-watering delicious when you open the bag.
• The pieces are easy to tear or cut into even tinier pieces.
• If you need to bite off a little piece (it is jerky consistency so some pieces are easier to tear than others) it actually tastes really good (yes, I tasted it) AND it's made to human-grade standards with 100 percent grass-fed New Zealand beef.
• Genuine Jerky is made with limited ingredients -- high in protein, grain-free and has no nitrates or nitrites. Its simple recipe contains all-natural ingredients like beef, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, onion powder and celery powder. Yum!

Rocco can't wait to dive into Genuine Jerky!

There he goes! 

Rocco came up for air long enough to give Genuine Jerky a high five!

Genuine Jerky is available in three tasty flavors: Original Beef, Teriyaki and Barbecue. Each 4 oz. package is $9.99 MSRP.

Is Your Company the Most Dog-Friendly in America? Enter to #Win! #WorkLikeaDog

Does your office allow dogs? Even better than that, does your company fully embrace the idea of a dog-friendly workplace?

Here's your chance to enter Bark's Best Places to Work presented by Zuke's, the annual search for the most dog-friendly workplaces in America. Entries will be accepted online until October 31, 2014 at midnight. Contest details, rules and entry form are available here.

Three winning companies will be featured in Bark's Spring 2015 print magazine and each of their office pups will receive a year’s worth of Zuke’s dog treats!

Rocco keeps his mind sharp and energy level high
with healthy office snacks from Zuke's!

We love the idea of dogs in the workplace and there's plenty of good reasons for companies to embrace a dog-friendly culture.

Studies confirm that dogs reduce anxiety and stress, helping to lower blood pressure and other health risks. Dogs help build office camaraderie and bridge social connections. They act as great exercise companions, and keep energy levels high.

“Dogs are an important part of our lives and we want to promote the unique benefits that they bring to the workplace,” says Chris Meiering, Director of Marketing at Zuke’s, this year’s presenting sponsor. “We are celebrating companies that understand that there is great advantage to a belly rub or a quick game of fetch between meetings!”

Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges based on the following criteria:

CANINE-FRIENDLY CAMPUS: Does your company offer inviting, safe workplaces that pay special attention to the needs and well-being of company dogs, offering a dog workers paradise?

DOG-DRIVEN WORK POLICIES: Does your office value thoughtful, progressive pet-policies—fair and balanced for both humans and dogs.

DEDICATED TO CANINE CAUSES: When it’s time to donate resources to a cause, does your company unleash the hounds? The Bark and Zuke's want to know about companies who go above and beyond to assist animals in their community.

Want to learn more about how to make your office dog friendly? Join us at the #WorkLikeaDog Twitter Party with @ZukesPets on September 14, 8-9 p.m. ET!  There'll be lots of fun and, along with co-hosts DogTipper and All Things Dog Blog, we'll be giving away more than $750 in prizes from Zuke's and The Bark.

RSVP and enter our pre-party giveaways on our Twitter Party announcement post.  And please be sure to take a photo of your dog “at work” and share it as an entry method on that page, too! During the party, we’ll be sharing photos of dogs working –whether that work is fetching their favorite toys, exploring a new trail, or helping you brainstorm at the office!

Hope you join us at #WorkLikeaDog!
