      yep. I self-select out of dog friendly offices. if that’s a “benefit”, I can’t work there.

        Or are afraid of dogs. Like a lot of people, partially on account of dog attacks being relatively common.

        I love dogs, but I don’t trust my coworkers to control their animals.

      Yes, they can indeed be a problem for people with allergies. In my case dogs (and cats unfortunately) trigger respiratory issues. I had that issue at a workplace where dogs were allowed, not fun times. And unfortunately medication like antihistamines are not an option for everybody, personally I get extremely drowsy from them, even from the latest generation meds.
