Best Dog-friendly coworking office spaces in Melbourne

Working from home over the past couple of years has definitely changed things up! For many, we've gotten use to working with our furry-companions by our side! Luckily our prayers are slowly being answered with dog-friendly coworking spaces becoming increasingly popular and encouraging canines to become a part of office culture.

For those of you who are looking to move into a new office or even just need a fresh space (that isn’t your bed or couch!), here are some coworking spaces that allow – if not encourage – you to bring your four-legged office worker.
