When job hunting, almost a quarter of Brits (23%) said having their dog at work is a top priority —outranking perks like a company gym (6%), paid health care (18%), and a company canteen (10%).
Shockingly, 29% of Brits admitted they would even take a pay cut to ensure their pup is welcomed at work, while 1 in 5 (20%) said they'd go as far rejecting their dream job if there was no room to accommodate their furry friends.
With January marking the peak season for job hunting, the new figures represent a huge cultural shift in priorities, with a massive 47% of owners now expecting dog-friendly policies as standard.
