I just saw this mentioned on an evening News show, but in looking it up, I found out it actually started back in December of 2012. Just look up Purina pets in workplace and you should find some articles on it. It's very interesting reading and even though I don't work out of the home, I think it's a great idea as long as the pet is happy and comfy and of course, well potty trained and gets regular exercise at other times.
I had some friends who owned a bookstore and took their cat to work with them. He would just lounge around and looked very contented. Of course, he had a litter box in a spot made just for that and had a food and water bowl there.
I think everyone at work would probably have to agree to it though, maybe even sign something, since one can never be sure that pets are 100% flea and tick free. What are your thoughts on this?
