Where does everyone come down on pets in the office? I just started a job and it turns out it's a pet friendly space and there are several dogs running around, barking at any given time and it's pretty distracting. This isn't the kind of workplace benefit I signed up for. Should I make a complaint to HR? Because I don't understand how my coworkers are able to get anything done in this zoo

No, but you might consider noise cancelling headphones.

I was a consultant once for a company with a pet friendly policy, and all the dogs were chill and well behaved, not like what you’re describing. It was pretty awesome, during meetings everyone brought their dogs and they’d lay next to their owner and just stare at me. It was really great.

I’d recommend asking HR, but change your attitude and approach. Be positive about it, because I’m sure people love the benefit overall. If there are a few trouble maker dogs, I’d assume HR is aware and can talk to the owners.

Maybe you can get your own private office so you can focus on

I would review what the policy says. Usually there is a means to express concern re:noisy environment. This environment should have been expressed in the interview or documents on workspace. While I would fall victim to not reading fully, it should be there. Last bit of advice, it’s not unreasonable for an employee to seek management direction on how to achieve a or secure private and quiet area at least for a period of time. Have annopen conversation with your manager.
