From: Ms.
Date:01/02/2023
Subject: Pet care facilities for pet parents

In response to the meeting we had on January 31, I have produced this suggestion. As
previously stated, our company's production has reduced significantly. When the reasons for
the drastic decrease are examined, one of the major reasons for the decrease is that employees
return home earlier to care for the pets. Most of them do not come to the office trip as they
are afraid to leave their pets at home. It is widely known that pets require more attention than
children. Most people seek solace in their pets as a result of the covid. After the relaxation of
the curfew, they find it really hard to come to work with their pets. As we concluded the
meeting, having pet care facilities in the office is absolutely essential; the proposal attached
here will discuss the plans and suggestions for implementing pet care facilities in the office.

Abstract
It has been discovered that establishing a pet care department at the office; we can
enhance the company's production. Because the majority of the personnel at the office are
bachelors who have pets. They cancel most of both official and unofficial trips conducted by
the office unofficial, because of their responsibility as pet parents After consulting with
employees, it was discovered that pet care facilities can be established in the office by renting
a house or cleaning the garden. However, renting a house would cost more compared to
cleaning the old store room. At the same time, it has been also found that by renting a house
people who are allergic to the pet can feel safe. Establishing pet care department in the office
would cost from 205,000 to 235,000
Introduction
It is necessary that the office provide pet care facilities for the benefit of pet
parents. The majority of the company's employees are bachelors who are pet parents
for their adorable dogs. Bachelors working in the industry leave their hometowns for a
variety of reasons. These people,who stay alone in the city leave their pets in neighbouring
households ; some leave at the pet care clinic. It has been discovered that leaving their pets at
the homes of their neighbours is dangerous; they can occasionally be harsh with their pets. As
a result, they come home earlier, Due to which the production of the company has fallen. Pet
care clinics also charge more, making it economically difficult for them. The project is for the
establishment of pet care facilities at the office will benefit both office and the
employees. The subsequent sections will focuss on the plans and suggestions required for
the establishment of pet care facilities in the office.

Background

According to a poll performed by the company Doodle.Inc, more than half of

bachelors find consolation and refuge in dogs. Staying away from the pet increases the stress
level of the employees. A survey was done by the company Doodle.Inc to determine the
causes for the drop in Doodle Inc productivity. It was discovered that most pet parents are
anxious because of their pets, as a result, they leave for home early before their work is
completed. By interviewing pet parents in the office, it was discovered that more than 90% of
pet owners were willing to risk their lives for the benefit of their pets.It further claims that 94
percent attribute human-like qualities to their pets, and 82 percent report thinking about their
pets when they are away from home. This pandemic has also resulted in a significant increase

in the number of pet parents. Since everyone has resumed to their everyday routines. It is
critical that the office provides pet care facilities.

Statement of the problem

The majority of pet parents are afraid to leave their pets alone during working hours.
As a result, they return home early, resulting in a significant loss in output. There is also a
noticeable lack of personnel at the office. It would be ideal to have pet care facilities at the
office to address this issue. Because it attracts both customers and employees. Furthermore,
the staff will complete their allotted tasks by staying late at the office.

Methodology
It has been discovered via the analysis of many polls and blogs that pet parents
experience stress as a result of their pets. They also claim that their pets are becoming ill as a
result of being left alone at the home. According to the survey, the majority of them cancel
office trips due to the responsibility of taking care of the pets. The survey tells majority of
them are in need of pet care department in the office.They leave their incomplete ,because of
the responsibility of taking care of pets.

Proposed Plan
There are numerous advantages of having pet care at the office. Pet care facilities can
be introduced in the office by using anyone of the following ways.

1)By renovating the store room

The workplace has two store rooms. A pet care department can thus be established by
cleaning one storeroom. This would be economically beneficial to the company ,at the same
time pets will be kept under the supervision of the pet parents. It is also important to note that
it would annoy the people ,who are allergic to pets.

2)Renting a house
It is possible to establish a pet department by renting a home close to the office. The
space would be ample for the animals; at the same time, the cost would be high. However,
this can also be developed into a separate business as a pet care clinic.

Benefits and feasibility of the proposed project and challenges:

With the budget allotted and the employees' cooperation, all of the suggested
changes are applicable. The budget can potentially support implementing both the two ideas
together. Implementing any one suggestion would also help the pet parents to bring their pet
parents. Renting a large house nearby will allow us to turn it into a veterinary clinic. By
doing this, anyone outside of the office also can drop their pet in the veterinary clinic. By
implementing this idea, the company can also increase its revenue.

It's also crucial to take notice of any employees who despise or are allergic to
animals. Animal fights can also happen, as result animals can be injured. This can be
avoided, if the pet care department is kept in the nearby house. So that unnecessary sounds of
the animals can be avoided

Costs, resources required/Budgeting.

Salaries for the employees, who take care of 100000
the pets
Maintenances 50000

2) By renting a house pet care department can be established

pets
Maintenances 50000
Other Requirements for the pets 50000
Other expenses 25000
Total 235000
Recommendation/ Proposed solution
The presence of a pet care facility in the workplace would relieve stress for the staff.
They will be stress free as their pets are kept under their supervision. People can take care of
their pets without having to rush home. They are also able to work longer hours in the office
since their pets accompany them there.
Employees also believe that the business must invest more money to build up pet
care facilities at the office.The issue can be resolved by asking pet parents to contribute
money.This implementation can also draw clients by offering a pet-friendly environment to
the company . The company's output can be increased in this way.

Some employees believe that pets can leave behind waste such as faeces and urine.
This can be avoided by appointing a cleaner ;at the same time pet parents should also be
responsible their pet parents.In order to maintain hygiene, it is important that pets should stay
only in pet areas; should not be allowed to other places especially to the kitchen and eating
area. Parents can bring food for the animals from their home ,in order to prevent vomiting
and other health problems. Additionally, this will lessen the financial situation. If they find it
difficult to bring food for the pet from the home, then office can offer food. There should be a
separate payment for food and maintenance. Pets may occasionally escape the office; in such
an event, their owners should keep a close eye on them..
Although renting a home can be exorbitant, it eliminates staff distractions. Additionally, it
would open up the option of having a pet care department, in which customers and employees
can leave their pets in the pet care department of Doodle Inc.
Conclusion
To summarize, it has been found that it is necessary to establish pet care facilities in the
office. The office can either use the old store or it can also rent a house to establish pet care
facilities in the office. However, establishing a pet care department by renting a house would
be expensive at the same time it would be spacious.
