Purina is Searching for America's Most Pet-Friendly Companies!


Every wish you could bring your pet to work? Studies have shown plenty of benefits to having pets at work, including reduced stress and increased productivity. 

We even met kitties at work during a recent visit to Purina Headquarters!
Fifteen years ago, NestlĂ© Purina PetCare recognized the benefits of allowing employees to bring their pets to work and started a “Pets at Work” program. And now, Purina is conducting a nationwide search to identify America's most pet-friendly workplaces with the "Purina Pets At Work Contest."

Want to enter your company? Here's how!
 
How:               Entrants must log on to purina.com/contest, share stories about how pets have made positive impacts on their workplace, and submit photos to show how their office is pet-friendly
Prize:              Award-winning actor John O’Hurley, well known for his role as J. Peterman on the television show “Seinfield,” will help pick the winning company and will visit their office next spring to present the Grand Prize – a makeover to outfit the business with pet-friendly materials (valued at $5,000), and a $10,000 donation to a local pet shelter. 
When:            Entries are accepted until January 15, 2013; Winner will be announced in spring 2013.

During a recent visit to visit Purina's headquarters, we got to see Pets at Work in action. Some favorites:




The beautiful grounds around the Purina office are a great place to enjoy some healthy break time.


We wish more office allowed pets and would love to hear if you can take your pets to work in the comments below. But first, don't forget to enter your company into the Purina Pets at Work Contest!
