Is it normal to hate dogs?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. You don’t have to like dogs, whether it’s because of bad experiences, allergies, noise, or simply not being an animal person.

Yes—it’s normal not to like dogs, and some people feel strongly about it. Barking, mess, jumping, allergies, or a bad past experience can make dogs feel stressful rather than lovable. Sometimes there’s no big reason; they’re just not your thing.

You don’t owe anyone enthusiasm for their pet. It’s considerate to be polite about it and clear about your boundaries, and of course not to mistreat an animal. But you’re allowed to prefer a dog-free life.
