2025 NZ Top Office Dog Award

Judging and criteria

Purpose

Whether they’re curled up under a desk, joining video calls from home, or making the rounds in the office, dogs have an incredible impact on workplace wellbeing. This award celebrates the ultimate four-legged teammate — a dog that brings joy, calm, and connection to the people they work alongside. From tail wags and morning greetings to emotional support and midday walk breaks, we’re looking for a canine who truly lifts workplace spirits.
 

Reach

Does your dog support one dedicated human, or boost the mood of an entire team? Tell us who benefits from their presence — whether they’re a loyal work-from-home companion or the unofficial office mascot.
 

Impact

Quirks and Talents

Every top dog has something that makes them special. Do they have a unique talent, quirky habit, or an unspoken superpower that sets them apart?
