A feature on Fox Business reports that General Motors hosted an auto show on April 11 with pet friendly cars being the focus of the event. Many pet owners have their pet’s comfort in mind when it comes to buying a car. GM realizes that and has addressed the issue in some of their new cars.
Talking about why the designs of their cars are now being influenced by pets, the head of consumer affairs at GM, James Bell, was quoted as saying,
“We have focused on the interior experience. That was the next level. We are taking good care of the humans, what about the dogs that are going for the rides?”

From the results of a new research, it appears that if employees are allowed to bring in dogs to work, it can relieve stress. Professor Randolph Barker from the Virginia Commonwealth University’s business school in Richmond led the study and was quoted as saying, “Pet presence potentially can be a low-cost wellness intervention.”
A company in North Carolina has allowed their employees to bring in their pets for over 15 years with some significant results. The average stress levels of those people went down by 11% over the course of the day, whereas, the stress levels of those who did not bring in their dogs increased up to 70%.
Pets have long been known for their stress-reducing abilities. If more companies allowed well-behaved pets to accompany employees to work, they may find it well worth their while as it will make them more relaxed and work more efficiently.
