“I would assume that this was not the job for me,” one person said. “Unless It’s (a service) dog (As we have in my office), I just don’t want to spend my day around dogs. I think they are annoying and smelly and I am sure some are not, and someone can come up with this thread to tell me how lovely, well-kept and non-slim their dog is. But I still don’t want to work with them. ”

Another person added, “I am also not a dog person and would not want this – definitely not a plus point. As long as the owners keep their dogs for themselves and do not allow them to hike and not be insulted when I choose not to get involved in their animals, (it is) possibly bearable.”

Someone else suggested that OP should go to the interview as planned, but “be honest” about her concern.

“Just be honest at the interview. They will not change their workplace for you, so you have to ask so you can see if the presence of dogs is something you can live with (the manager’s dog sleeps in a basket under his desk all day) or not (dogs walking around). It would save everyone a lot of time, ”said the person.
