Bring Your Dressed Dog To Work This Friday

What is an easy way to boost morale, increase productivity, cut absenteeism and improve creativity? Bring your dog to work. National Bring Your Dog to Work Day is Friday, June 24 this year.

Check your company’s policy regarding pets in the workplace on this particular day, first. Also, be sure to check with your co-workers about any pet-related allergies. You don’t want to bring your favorite four-legged friend into the office only to find out dog dander makes your cubicle companion sick.

If your company prohibits pets in the workplace, do the next best thing: post a photo of your pet. You can also raise money to help homeless pets, which is why Pet Sitters International created the day, or donate your time and spare materials to a local animal shelter. Shelters and care groups are always in need of pet food, blankets, towels, cleaning supplies and other items.

Assuming you are allowed to bring your dog to work, dress them up in a fashionable outfit from the Posh Puppy Boutique.

We carry a wide range of: shirts, such as this Best Friend Dog T-Shirt ($28); bandanas, like this 100% American Pure Bred Bandana; dresses, like this Strawberry-licious Cupcake Ruffled Dog Dress ($32); collars, like this combination collar and black bow tie ($22) for that formal look; and literally thousands of other dog (and cat) related items.

Walk your dog into the office wearing a Stripey Heart Body Harness with matching leash ($36 for the combination), which is available in pink blue or brown.

For that true fashion experience, show off your dog’s style sense—and your own—by bringing your dog to work wearing a Purple Egyptian Dress (on sale for $40, normally $55) from Central Bark Couture, complete with a removable ribbon at the waist.

These and literally thousands of other items are available right now at the Posh Puppy Boutique. Visit us on-line or call 888-837-5230.

Harnesses Reduce Stress on Your Dog's Neck

Dog collars, while functional, do not give owners the same degree of control over their pets as an alternative: harnesses.

Accidental strong shocks transmitted to your dog’s through their collar can choke or hurt them, such as if you fell and pulled their leash. This is not an issue with harnesses.

Collars transmit human commands, such as jerks, to your dog’s neck where the leash and collar connect. While not perfect for controlling your dog, collars are excellent in terms of picking your posh pooch out of a pack. Good collars combine good taste with tags providing your pet’s identification and rabies vaccination. The best ones are not only stylish, but provide or reflect light, making your canine companion visible at night.

Harnesses, though, shift the leash connection point from the neck to the shoulders or center of the back, depending on the design. These devices also wrap around your dog’s chest and their belly, securing them. This design means forces that a collar transmits to your dog’s neck instead are distributed over most of their body. One example is the Ultra USA “Choke Free Harness.”

A harness’s design reduces the impact of yanks, jerks and sudden movement on your dog’s delicate neck bones. By shifting the connection point for your leash, you not only protect your pet, but gain more control over their movement. A short tug on a harness often gets dogs to stop in their tracks some trainers say.

Harnesses come in a wide range of sizes, colors and shapes. This variety makes them perfect for the fashion-conscious pet owner. Your pet looks like your perfect companion, dressed to the nines, while also being safe and secure. One example is this pink and lime bow model.

The Posh Puppy Boutique carries harnesses designed as dresses, vests and T-shirts, in leather and from designer Susan Lanci. Step-in models, which are easy to attach, are also available.

The Posh Puppy Boutique carries stylish harness dresses for fashion-conscious female dogs. Girls can’t have all the fun, especially when there are many handsome designs for boys.

When safety, comfort and style are your top pet concerns, consider starting with a collar then complementing it with a stylish harness.
