There's a small shop in our neighborhood in which the owners have a well-behaved dog. The dog usually spends most of the time napping behind the counter, with occasional "meet and greets" with customers. My mechanic has what he calls a "shop cat".
But these are small, family-owned shops. A hobby shop and a mechanic's garage are not the same as a corporate office - where I DON'T think animals are a good idea. As you mentioned, allergies, toileting issues, barking and other noises make for a difficult working environment. And who pays the vet bills? The company? Would employees have to contribute?
I seem to recall many years ago a company tried "bring your pet to work day" and someone brought in a rather large snake. Poor judgment all around, especially when the snake disappeared. I would have flatly refused to work under those conditions.
