1.Create a Doggy Bag: No, we don’t mean bringing in your leftover food! Pets are kids too, and need basic items such blankets, beds and bowls for traveling. Innovative travel products such as Bamboo’s Silicone Travel Bowls (www.shopfatcat.com/3cuptravelbowl.html) fold up to be easily carried in your car or back pocket.
2. Stay hydrated: Dogs often get anxious when traveling to unknown places. Be sure to keep your pet refreshed by keeping a full bowl of fresh water set up in your office.
3.Take frequent bathroom breaks: This will help to ensure your pet has no accidents in the work place. However, be prepared if one should happen. Carry Bamboo’s ARM & HAMMER® Disposable Waste Bags & Dispenser to pick up any mess and eliminate odors. You should also carry anti-bacterial wipes to cleanse any accidents areas.
4. Keep treats on your desk: This allows you to reward your dog for good behavior, while also allowing your co-workers to offer a treat upon meeting your pet. One that will generate chuckles - DogToids™ - a flavorful breath mint for your dog that comes in a stylish tin. (www.bamboopet.com/all_products/detail.php)

Assign projects for your pet: Interactive toys and hiding treats around your office will help stimulate your pet’s mind, thus keeping them occupied and allowing you to complete your daily work assignments.
