Enter this Philippine startup\u2019s office and you\u2019ll be greeted by an excited beagle and a shih tzu. Regardless of shape and size, pets come in and out of the Hacker House, an apartment complex in Makati home to Kalibrr\u2019s developers and designers. It\u2019s one of the few offices in the country that have welcomed pets with open paws.<\/p>\n

According to a survey conducted by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, 75 million Americans believe that pets at the office make everyone happier and less stressed. This belief resonates with employees at the Hacker House, who say that more happiness and less stress are just a few of the many benefits that their pets have brought.<\/p>\n

This startup believes that pets are conducive to the creative and collaborative environment echoed in Silicon Valley. \u201cWith so much work to do, pets actually help me keep sane,\u201d claims lead product designer Kevin Velasco. \u201cI’ve had Pi since he was a puppy. It’s great having him around at the office.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are currently 6 pets residing at the Hacker House: Pi the beagle, Einstein the shih tzu, Ember the labrador, Jake the kitty, Luna the cat, and Kaye the bunny. As the number of animals exceed the number of humans at the apartment, it obviously gets quite crazy.<\/p>\n
