Some people rolled their eyes when a Nordic pet food company earlier this year announced it was offering paid “pawternity” leave to new pet parent employees. Now a Minnesota firm has hopped on the slow-moving bandwagon with its own policy.

The Minneapolis marketing company, Nina Hale, calls its pet parent leave policy “fur-ternity,” and instead of three days of paid leave, the policy gives pet parents the ability to work from home for a week to help ensure the new dog or cat addition goes smoothly.
