We went up there around the same time of year in 2007 with our labrador - all borders were really easy (most didn't even check to see if we had a dog). Campsites were all fine with the dog, we rented a few "hutte" due to bad weather - again they welcomed the dog.
Snow tyres/chains are not needed unless you are really planning to go off road.
Petrol stations as mentioned before can be few and far between. Knievshedlodden (or however it's spelt) is a good 4-5 hour round trip by foot only ......can be a bit slippery underfoot if wet.....and the weather is really unpredictable even in mid-summer. Great walk for the dog, but watch out for the reindeer - its the only time in a six month trip that our dog bolted for it - straight up a scree slope!
Northcape cabins is a nice spot to stay and the guy who runs it really knows the local area.
Allow plenty of time for the return trip as even the main road is pretty variable.
Not sure if it will be on your route but the campsite at Utne was small but beautiful (and when you're there the cherries will be ripe on the trees!)
