Do You Know Pet-Friendly Companies? Help Us Make a Big List

Tell us the companies that pet friendly policies that you know of.

Since we’re all pet lovers and we all have to work (well, most all of us at least), we thought it would be a really cool idea to see if we could make a big list of pet-friendly places to work. Also, we’re doing a quick survey on how important it is to us to have a pet-friendly job that just takes 15 seconds to complete.

Do you work at or know of companies that have more than five employees that let you bring your pet to work with you some or every day of the week??? Such companies are really wonderful and it would be great to have a giant list to help pet lovers find a job that is perfect for them!

We made a quick form you can fill out once for each company you know of, so please tell us all about them. Hopefully you can help us make a big list that we can then share with everyone.

This should really be great!

Hear About the Site on Animals Aloud

Last week I got to meet Deirdre Kennedy the wonderful person behind Animals Aloud, a wonderful pet radio show on XM Radio and KPFA. We had a pretty humorous interview about Dogster and Catster which is going to be part of the next show.

The program airs Saturday the 17th 6pm Eastern/3pm Pacific on XMPR Channel 133.

It can also be heard on KUSF 90.3 in San Francisco at 2:30 pm Saturday December 17, 2005 OR you can hear it streamed live from KUSF’s web site at www.kusf.org.

On the 18th a recored version of the program will permanently be available on their excellent website www.animalsaloud.net. They have a bunch of previous shows you can listen too anytime.

Deidre taught me a new term. While I call Dogster a mental vacation, she called it virtual valium! I think she’s more precise. Take me away Dogster!
