What’s better than a Friday? A Friday with a four-legged colleague!

Bring Your Dog to Work Day is just around the corner – landing on Friday 20th June 2025 – and we’re gearing up for a pawsitively joyful day at Henry Wag HQ.

Leading the preparations? None other than our resident office pup and Chief Mischief Officer, Lola and her second in command, Stella.

Meet Lola: Chief Mischief Officer at Henry Wag

Lola has a very important role in the office – spreading smiles, demanding fuss, and keeping everyone on their toes. She’s a master of morale-boosting and snack supervision, and she’ll be back at her post this Friday, ready to charm the team.

Lola’s usual duties include:

• Squeaky toy quality control
• Inspiring regular breaks for belly rubs
• Making sure no treat goes unnoticed

Meet Stella: Deputy Director of Cuddles

Every top dog needs a second-in-command, and that’s where Stella comes in. Calm, cuddly, and quietly keeping the team in check, she’s the yin to Lola’s playful yang. As Deputy Director of Cuddles, Stella’s talents lie in creating a soothing presence during busy days – usually found curled up in a sunny spot or offering up a paw for moral support. She’s also known for:

• Supervising snack breaks from her favourite blanket
• Providing stress-relieving snuggles on demand
• Politely reminding the team when it’s lunchtime (mostly hers)

With Stella on cuddle patrol and Lola leading the mischief, we think we’ve got the pawfect office dynamic.

Why We Love Dogs in the Workplace

Having a dog in the office can do wonders for team spirit and wellbeing. Studies have shown that office dogs can:

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Spark conversation and connection
• Improve mood and morale
• Encourage a healthier work-life balance

At Henry Wag, this aligns perfectly with our values. Our products are designed to support a healthier, more active lifestyle for dogs and their humans – whether at home, at work, or out exploring.

Getting Ready for Bring Your Dog to Work Day?

If you’re planning to celebrate with your canine colleague, here are a few Lola and Stella-approved tips:

• Pack the essentials – their favourite toy, treats, a comfy bed, and collapsible bowls like our Snaffle Pack make for a smooth workday.

• Plan in walkies – a midday stroll helps keep everyone feeling refreshed.

• Create a calm space – dogs need downtime too, so set up a little retreat away from the hustle and bustle.
