While I was at google, I had (and have) a minor pet dander allergy. There were _many_ dogs regularly in the office, and perhaps I'm being overly paranoid/judgemental of the culture, but mentioning your own discomfort would have been read very negatively against you by not only the dog owners but by all the people who do buy in to that it is some part of the culture.
Whether you read that as a feature or a frustration, it comes down to that it simply becomes another line item that potential candidates may be judging you on, and you may never know about it. (it's certainly something I keep an eye out for nowadays.)
