Purina's drive to promote pets in the workplace

It would depend on the type of workplace. It would only work when it was a safe environment for the pet and if it was a place where members of the public are not admitted.

I think in a small business it is quite easy to allow a pet into the office, in a room the back of a store or outside in an enclosed yard. To me that would be better than leaving a pet on its own all day at home.

In a big office or large workplace there could be problems if cats and dogs were allowed and did not get on with each other. Also it would have to be with the agreement of all co-workers, as well as the management. There could be someone in the workplace with an allergy or phobia that would prevent them working in close proximity to a pet.
