Today's "Dogs in the Workplace" interview features Brit & Co- an amazing San Francisco company dedicated to creative living, DIY projects, and hand-picked lifestlye products for our modern world. They are also, of course, very dog friendly and allow staff to bring dogs to their beautiful San Francisco loft-style office. The dogs, in turn, get spoiled and learn how to make crafts and develop really great Pinterest boards. More importantly, they bring a sense of calmness and productivity to the office, which everyone benefits from. I interviewed Aaron of Brit & Co about the benefits of having dogs in their workplace. Aaron's dog Porter is one of seven dogs I met at the Brit & Co office (that might just put them at the top of the 'dog friendly businesses in san francisco' list!)

JF: What does your dog contribute to your company? Brit + Co: I think Porter keeps our workplace very friendly and relaxed.

JF: What do you feel are the benefits of having a 'mascot' at work? Brit + Co: Having Porter at work brings perspective to what I'm working on and keeps me grounded. It's hard to have a bad day with him around. It's also great that having him at work forces me to take a short walk a couple of times a day.

JF: What is the mission of your company? Does your dog support/add to that mission? Brit + Co: In short it is to enable people to live more simple and creative lives. Porter doesn't directly contribute, but I think the positivity he brings is definately an asset.

The dogs of Brit and Co certainly do not lack unconditional love, attention, or play time while at work. See below.
