An increasingly common phenomenon in Western companies is the introduction of pet-friendly policies, which imply affection for the presence of pets in the workplace. There is a small number of companies in Croatia that apply these kinds of policies and in the Croatian academic and business sphere this topic has not been systematically researched. The purpose of this paper was to question attitudes towards the presence of pet dogs and cats in the workplace. For the purposes of the research, a survey was conducted on a sample of 154 employed Croatians aged between 18 and 65 working in offices in the private or public sector. A semi-structured interview was also conducted with 3 respondents who work in companies that allow dogs and cats in the workplace. Analyzing the results, it was concluded that one quarter of respondents have the option of bringing dogs and cats to the workplace, and slightly more than one sixth of respondents who own pet dogs and cats actually bring them to the workplace. The majority of the respondents supports the presence of pets as long as the pet is under the control and supervision of the owner and could tolerate a maximum of one or two pets at the workplace. Making employees happy, relieving work-related stress, and creating a pleasant working environment are recognized as the most significant advantages, whereas the existence of allergies in clients/colleagues, the creation of unpleasant odors, and the creation of a mess and noise are significant obstacles to keeping pets in the workplace. Interviewees highlighted how employees bring pets to the workplace because they do not want to leave them alone at home and that pets have a positive effect on reducing work-related stress.
