Take Your Dog to Work Day is celebrated on 26 June 2026.
As South Africans prepare to celebrate Take Your Dog to Work Day on 26 June 2026, animal welfare experts are calling for a thoughtful, "wellbeing-first" approach to the initiative. While the annual event is a popular opportunity to highlight the unique bond between humans and their canine companions, global animal welfare organisation
FOUR PAWS South Africa is reminding pet owners that a busy office environment is not suited for every dog.
Putting Pet Needs First
"While many dogs enjoy new environments, not every dog will feel comfortable in an office setting," said Fiona Miles, Director at FOUR PAWS South Africa. "Owners must recognise their pet’s limits and prioritise their wellbeing above all else".
