In reply to Piss Boy. I wrote this post a few years ago. Since then I haven't heard anything about these problems. I can't imagine Amazon would turn a blind eye if this is really happening.

Sounds good right? What about the absolute, complete lack of any enforcement to these rules in the Amazon workplace? Dogs, snarling, snapping and growling at other dogs, dogs peeing on the workspace floors, the elevators, the lobbies, dogs pooping on the workspace floors, the elevators, and the building lobbies while the owners just keep walking and leave their dogs lovely mess for others to clean up? Then they take them outside to pee and poop all over the place, and only half of the owners take the time to clean up the mess. Puppies at work who clearly aren’t housebroken, dogs off leash because the Amazon, city, county, and state rules for leashes simply do not apply to very special people. It’s one of those things that sounds good on paper; however, in reality it’s annoying as hell to everyone else. Have we become so millennial that we truly need to bring our dog to work? Seriously.

Do you happen to know if they have a place to eat lunch with their fur friends? I’m trying to get my employer to allow them in the lunch room.

Trupanion pet insurance allows dogs at work as well.

Hope this helps.

Do you happen to have a list of other companies that allow dogs in the workplace? I am trying to influence the company I work in to have a dog policy like Amazon’s and would like to cite other examples.

In reply to Toni Semanskee. I'm sorry I don't. There are general studies about how dogs can lower stress/tension but I don't know of any specifically about dogs in the workplace.

Do you have any data on the benefits of dogs at work from any of the local companies like Amazon, who have a dog-friendly culture? I’m looking for data on proven benefits to the organization and to employees for a paper I’m writing. Thank you!
