Join the World’s Largest Pet Walk and Bring Your Team Together for Good
If you’re looking for a simple, feel-good way to engage employees, support well-being, and make a meaningful difference, we have the event for you.
Your company is invited to take part in the 9th annual Pet Partners World’s Largest Pet Walk on September 26. This nationwide event brings people, pets, workplaces, and communities together in support of Pet Partners, the nation’s leading therapy animal organization.
What Is the World’s Largest Pet Walk?
The World’s Largest Pet Walk is a fun and flexible event that anyone can join from anywhere. Your employees can walk at home, around the office, at a local park, on a favorite trail, or as part of a company-wide team event.
Participants can choose when, where, and how far to walk. They can walk with a pet, with coworkers, with family and friends, or on their own. Every step supports the Pet Partners mission to improve human health and well-being through the human-animal bond.
Why It Works for Companies
The World’s Largest Pet Walk is an easy way to bring your team together around a shared cause. Whether your company is focused on employee wellness, community impact, a pet-friendly culture, or corporate social responsibility, this event offers a simple and inclusive way to take action on that goal.
Fun Ways Your Company Can Join
Here are a few ideas to help your team make the event their own:
Workplace Walk
Bring employees together for a group walk during lunch or at the end of the workday.
Remote Team Challenge
Invite employees to walk wherever they are and share photos in a company chat or internal newsletter
Department Fundraising Challenge
Encourage friendly competition between teams, offices, or departments.
Pet Parade
Host a short walk where employees can celebrate their own pets and share why the human-animal bond matters to them
Wellness Day Tie-In
Add the walk to an existing employee wellness, volunteer, or community impact initiative.
Who Can Join?
Everyone is welcome! Employees do not need to be Pet Partners volunteers or registered therapy animal volunteers to participate.
Pets of all kinds can take part including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. Employees without pets are encouraged to walk, too. The event is about celebrating the human-animal bond and supporting the therapy animal teams who share that bond with people in need.
Make it Memorable
Encourage your employees to take photos and share their walk experience using #WorldsLargestPetWalk on social media. If Walkers want even greater recognition, have them send photos and stories to [email protected] for a chance to be featured on Pet Partners social media platforms. Your company can also highlight team participation on internal channels or employee engagement platforms.
