Dogs at Work

regdunlop

the discussion about pet insurance got me wondering if anyone has tried letting employees bring their dogs to work.  i have read about companies doing this but haven't seen any information on how they handle the problems that could occur (triggering allergies, fights between dogs, dogs biting workers, barking, 'accidents'). i would love to have dogs in my workplace but worry about the consequences.

We floated this idea some time back and determined that it was just too complicated. Many employees have allergies, and were adamantly opposed.

 I can see it working in a smaller work environment where there is unanimous agreement on a pets at work policy, but otherwise, I would avoid it.
