For many people who own pets, it's no secret that animals can help relieve stress just with their presence. So it's no wonder that more and more companies around the U.S. are becoming "pet friendly" and allowing employees to bring their animals to work (as long as they're well-behaved and meet certain other requirements). Nearly 1 in 5 business now allows pets in the workplace, and a trip around the San Diego area to visit some of these reveals a lot of happy people (and dogs) because of it. My story about pets in the workplace for U-T San Diego:

I love dogs - adore them and cats too however, I'm deathly allergic to cats and could never be in a work place with them and I'm not alone. I'm also MCS - chemical sensitive and most dog owners flee dip or powder their dogs which is unhealthy for dogs and humans. How would a company deal with a flee problem? While it sounds wonderful I know many people would suffer in this environment.
