Petsecure Pet Insurance Celebrates 12th Annual Take Your Dog To Work Day!

June 22, 2010 - PRLog -- (Winnipeg, Manitoba) - Petsecure pet insurance is happy to be taking part once again in Pet Sitters International Take Your Dog To Work Day® (TYDTWD) on Friday, June 25, 2010. TYDTWD is all about enjoying the company of your pet at work while raising awareness about pet adoptions in a positive and proactive way. This is the 12th annual TYDTWD and the 3rd year Petsecure pet insurance has taken part in this special day.

“Taking part in TYDTWD is another way for us to encourage responsible pet parenting across the country,” states Randy Valpy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Petsecure pet insurance. “Over 95% of our staff own either a dog or a cat and we are all passionate about Petsecure giving back to Canadian animal shelters, humane societies and rescue groups by providing resources, volunteers and support. TYDTWD adds to our involvement in the pet industry while providing our team with a fun and exciting way to get involved and experience the value of pets in our lives.”

Organizations across the country are encouraged to open their work place up on this day to the special dogs in their employee’s lives. This will show others in the workplace the great companions that dogs make and the animal human bond they share with their owners.

Owning a dog can improve your well-being, decrease stress and even promote a healthier lifestyle. In a recent study conducted by the Delta Society it found that people with dogs have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and are less likely to suffer from a heart attack. Adopting a dog from a local animal shelter, rescue group or humane society will not only save a dog’s life, it may also improve yours and provide you with a new best friend.
