Prepare for Take Your Dog To Work Day

On June 20th will be the annual “Take Your Dog To Work Day” if your company and boss is Fur Friendly or Doggy Happy. Hopefully they are, and if they are, then there are a few things you can do to make sure your Doggy Day is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Denise Flaim wrote a great advice column on Newsweek.com on tips for taking your dog to work.

Here is an except of her advice:

1 TIRE HIM OUT One way to ensure an angelic-looking dog in repose is a good workout. If you have a young, energetic dog, take him for a long morning run before you get to the office.

Running risk To prevent orthopedic injury, never run a dog that is younger than a year old (18 months is even better) on concrete or blacktop for any length of time. Instead, opt for free-play on grass or a similar soft surface.

2 BRING DISTRACTIONS Your dog doesn’t have the benefit of being able to sneak a game of computer solitaire to alleviate his corporate boredom. Instead, bring a tried-and-true standby: a rubber Kong stuffed with favorite treats. (I fill mine with Velveeta or peanut butter, then freeze them.) Bully sticks (most pet stores carry them) are another good choice, although they are expensive, and nobody likes to think of what they’re really made of: male bovine private parts. Ouch.

Mine! Avoid food treats in the presence of other dogs, as this is a recipe for bedlam.
