This week looks a little different for the HQ pack…
While our HQ gets a little TLC, our teams have set up shop at home, surrounded by the coworkers who never fail to keep us company: our pets (aka the real bosses around here).
They’re absolutely loving every minute of having us around (and honestly, we’re not complaining either). From “help” during virtual meetings to lunch break walks and endless puppy dog eyes, it’s been equal parts chaos and pure joy.
For a little fun, we’re opening our (virtual) doors to share a behind-the-scenes look at our WFH life, plus a few tips to help you and your pets stay happy and healthy while working from home.
WFH Life: Meet the Wholesome Home Office Crew
With our team spread out this week, our pets have fully stepped into their roles as home office assistants. Some are professional nappers, others are always on treat patrol, and a few like to make dramatic entrances during virtual meetings.
We couldn’t resist sharing some behind-the-scenes moments of our Wholesome Goods crew and their four-legged (and sometimes whiskered) coworkers working hard… or hardly working. Either way, they’ve kept spirits high and reminded us to slow down, stretch, and enjoy the little things throughout the day.
Human + Pet Wellness Tips for WFH Life
All that time at home with our pets got us thinking: what makes working from home with them smoother, healthier, and a little more joyful? Here are a few tips—straight from our own routines—that help both people and pets thrive during a WFH day.
1. Start the Day with Movement
Kick off your morning with an activity that boosts focus and helps your pet feel calm. A walk, light stretch, play session, or any gentle movement helps you both wake up and burn off energy before settling into your remote work routine.
2. Create a Comfortable Home Office for You & Your Pet
A calm, cozy workspace makes working from home smoother—and much more enjoyable. Set up supportive seating for yourself and a comfy nap spot for your four-legged assistant. Soft blankets, soothing natural scents from a diffuser, and a touch of greenery make your space more inviting and help both of you stay relaxed and focused throughout the day.
3. Fuel Smartly Throughout the Day
Avoid afternoon slumps by keeping yourself nourished and hydrated. Healthy meals, balanced snacks, and daily supplements (if needed) can make a big difference in supporting both your health and your pet’s. Staying fueled helps you both feel energized and ready to tackle the day without the dreaded mid-afternoon crash.

4. Take Mindful Breaks With Your Pet
Stepping away from the screen for even a few minutes can refresh your mind and body. Go for a short walk with your dog, enjoy a quick play session with your cat, dance it out in the kitchen, or simply practice deep breathing together. These mindful moments help you recharge and keep your furry companion happy, too.
5. End the Workday on a Positive Note
Signal the close of your remote workday with a shared ritual that helps both you and your pet unwind. It could be a calming evening walk, a quiet moment with tea and cuddles, or even a playful “yappy hour” on Fridays with treats for your furry coworker. These little traditions make it easier to step away from work and celebrate quality time together.
For Pets (and People) Who Work Just as Hard as We Do 🐾
From shadowing every step to “helping” with calls and keeping us company through long afternoons, our pets truly put in the hours right alongside us.
If you’re looking to make working from home smoother, healthier, and more comfortable for both you and your furry companion, we’ve got you covered. From daily wellness support to home comforts, the Wholesome Goods family of brands is here to help you and your pets feel your best while tackling each workday together.
