The Office Dog
Welcome to The Office Dog
We help forward-thinking businesses become great places to work; for people and their dogs.
A dog-friendly workplace isn't just a perk; it's a proven driver of team morale, engagement, and wellbeing. But getting it right takes more than a welcome sign on the door. That's where we come in.
We work with you to design a tailored approach that works for your whole team, including those who don't have a dog, or who'd rather not sit next to one to those who would love to be near them. From allergy management and noise considerations to clear, fair policies that set expectations from day one, we make sure every detail is covered.
We handle everything: the policy documentation, the risk assessments, and the practicalities of launch day, meaning you can focus on the people (and dogs) walking through your door.
Whether you're curious about a short-term trial or ready to embed a permanent pet policy into your workplace culture, we'll guide you through every step, creating an environment that's safe, professional, and genuinely welcoming for everyone.
About Us
At The Office Dog, we're the UK's only company dedicated to creating professional, dog-friendly workplaces.
We know that office dogs can transform a working environment; boosting morale, strengthening culture, and improving retention. But without the right foundations, good intentions can quickly become noise, mess, and distraction.
That's where we come in.
Our team combines behavioural expertise with hands-on experience to design and implement everything your workplace needs: robust policies, safe layouts, hygiene standards, and staff guidance that keeps everyone comfortable, dog lover or not.
The result is a productive, safe, and welcoming workplace where dogs are a genuine asset to your business, not a liability.

How we work
Our Clients Say
"We got in touch with The Office Dog following us trialling bringing dogs in to the office ourselves. It hadn't gone well and we didn't quite understand how all the documented benefits could be true! The Office Dog team helped us from the start and it became apparent why having support was so important to ensure you do get the benefits of having a dog friendly office".
