A dog could be smart, smarter, or smartest....
But the sentence needs to be more complete. Usually smarter is used in a "smarter than" context. Smartest is often used in a "smartest of" context.
For example:
Sally was smarter than her brother in the subject of math.
George was smart, but Tony guessed he was smarter than George.
Tim thought Sally was the smartest student in his class, but George and Tony were smarter than Tim thought.
So, anytime you have added "-er" to a verb, you usually won't need the qualifier of "more" before the word. As other examples:
George was a fast runner.
Tim was a faster runner than George.
Michael was the fastest, consistently beating other runners including George and Tim.
=
For his age, John was small.
But Anthony was smaller than John.
Doug and Mario were the smallest boys in the class.
=
Mario's older brother had a big appetite.
Mack had a bigger appetite.
Sal had the biggest appetite.
==
A size 12 dress was large.
A size 14 dress is larger.
A size 28 dress was the largest size made by this store.

Is it important to use proper grammar at work?
It probably depends on where you work. In some work environments, such as one in which you have little contact verbally with others, your grammar might not be an issue to the others. But if you are working in a job in which you would want to make a good impression with your speech, then good grammar would be more important. Of course the attitude of your boss toward grammar would be important too. If he or she thinks proper grammar is important for your job, perhaps you should also. Depending on the kind of work you do it can become important. The more information you have to communicate within the company the more important grammar becomes. It can be a good indicator of how educated you are. The more educated you are the more is expected of you and therefore the better grammar you have to have.
