Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day, and at VetStem, we think it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the special bond we share with our canine companions. Whether your dog is a seasoned office pup or a first-time visitor, studies have shown that bringing your furry friend to work can add joy, reduce stress, and promote a more relaxed and connected workplace environment.

But did you know that it can also be a great time to observe your dog’s health and mobility? With the extra time spent together, you may notice signs of discomfort that might not be obvious during your usual routine. Things like stiffness after resting, hesitation to jump or climb stairs, or limping after activity could be subtle signs of osteoarthritis or orthopedic injury, conditions that VetStem Cell Therapy may be able to help.

VetStem has treated thousands of dogs with stem cell therapy for arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and other degenerative conditions. If your dog is showing signs of joint pain, now might be a good time to talk to your veterinarian about whether VetStem Cell Therapy is a good option (or contact us to receive a list of VetStem providers near you).

So, as you enjoy the tail wags and extra cuddles this Take Your Dog to Work Day, remember to keep an eye on your pup’s well-being. A healthy, happy dog makes the best coworker!
