    How Bringing Your Pet To Work Can Increase Your Productivity and Morale

    According to a poll by Animal Medicines Australia, there has been a substantial boom in pet ownership. Nationally, 69% of households now own a pet, up from 61% only two years ago. This has been led by a surge in dog ownership—with over a million additional dogs being brought into Australian households since 2019.

    69% of Australian households currently have a pet, with over 50% having at least one dog and 30% having a cat.

    Due to the pandemic, people saw the benefits of owning pets. They gained companionship, comfort, positive physical and mental health and of course the unconditional love and loyalty of a pet.

    But things are slowly getting back to normal with businesses opening up and people going back to offices. Pet owners now face the dilemma of leaving the cute pooches behind. With months spending your days together, you got so used to being with your pet daily, somehow it feels empty without them.
