Find a Pet-Friendly Co-Working Space

The first step in bringing your pet to work is finding a pet-friendly co-working space. Many co-working spaces have strict policies against pets, while others may allow you to bring your furry friend. Durham Bottling Co is 100% pet-friendly!

Consider Your Pet's Comfort

Before bringing your pet to our co-working space, it's important to consider their comfort level in the environment. While some pets thrive in new social situations, others may be more hesitant or anxious. To ensure a positive experience, you may want to bring your pet for a visit to our co-working space before committing to a longer stay. This will allow your pet to get familiar with the surroundings, smells, and sounds, and help them feel more comfortable when you bring them to work with you.

Prepare for the Day

Before bringing your pet to work, it's important to prepare for the day. This may include packing essential items, such as food, water, toys, and bedding, and ensuring that your pet is well-groomed and up-to-date on their vaccinations. You may also want to consider bringing a crate or carrier for your pet, as well as cleaning supplies in case of any accidents.

Be Respectful of Others

When bringing your pet to a pet-friendly co-working space, it's important to be respectful of others who may not be comfortable around animals. This may include keeping your pet on a leash, avoiding common areas and meeting rooms, and cleaning up after your pet. Be mindful of any allergies or sensitivities that other members may have and take appropriate measures to minimize any potential discomfort.

Take Advantage of Pet-Friendly Amenities

Pet-friendly co-working spaces often offer amenities specifically designed for pets, such as designated pet areas, water and food bowls, and pet-related events and activities. Take advantage of these amenities to make your pet feel more comfortable and welcome in the co-working space. You can also connect with other pet owners in the community for networking opportunities and socializing.
