Since we get asked this every once in awhile I thought I would post this link to a list of dog friendly stores (oh and the pictures are really cute too).

Wow, I'm surprised at a lot of those stores. We are getting a Menards Hardware store opening soon. I wonder if they allow dogs.

It also depends on the store itself. I have heard many people say they have taken there dog in lowes and Home Depot with no issues and many say they were asked to leave. I have noticed on a lot of lowers doors it says no dogs unless service dogs.

Wow Macys . . .didn't think that one. .

WOW, I'm so surprised at some of these, cool! Though, I have heard that Home Depot's can depend on the location, for some odd reason...

Can hardly believe SAks & Pottery Barn. Will have to check that out. Lexie has been in Nordstrom many times and really like Bass Pro Shop--(she wears her camo tee shirt there )

Sophie Kate LOVES Lowes, when we drive by and don't stop she whines and gets all pouty.


I was in Whole Foods last weekend and a lady had her Poodle in the store, now I love Dogs as much as the next girl but they do not belong in Whole Foods.

I take pups to Half Price Books to socialize them. They even have a sign on the door stating that they are pet friendly. Two of my favorite things together - dogs and books. Heaven.

I have taken them to Home Depot and Lowes and never had a problem but never tried Walmart, Target or the grocery because they have food there.
The comments at the end of that article are crazy.

We have a pet friendly mall here that opened last year....

The first of two new outlet malls for Chesterfield Valley is opening on Friday, Aug. 2, just in time for Missouri's Back to School Sales Tax Holiday.

Taubman Prestige Outlets Chesterfield will open its doors to shoppers at 10 a.m. on Aug. 2. Located on the north side of Interstate 64, adjacent to Hardee's Iceplex, Taubman Prestige Outlets has 310,000 square feet of retail space in a village-style outdoor shopping plaza.

Taubman Prestige Outlets may be the first mall in St. Louis to encourage shoppers to bring along their dogs. The outlet mall offers "dog friendly hospitality," which includes dog comfort and watering stations. Plus, three-quarters of the retailers will allow well-behaved, leashed dogs into their stores, O'Neill said. "It's a very unique shopping experience," she said — one that's been popular at three other Taubman projects.

Retailers at the new outlet mall are hiring, and a list of openings can be found online.

I live in Mid-MO and I go up to St. Louis often. I also often go to the Taubman Prestige Outlet and see lots of people walking and socializing their pups there. Taubman Prestige reminds me a lot of the outlet in Orlando. I don't think I've been to the St. Louis Premium Outlets. I saw a lady walking her dog in the Galleria Mall one time...I don't think she was supposed to do that...her dog wasn't a service dog, either..

I have only been there once, on a really hot day this summer. It was too hot for dogs and I didn't see any. The shopping center was practically deserted. I hope the stores do well so they don't have to close. I love that they welcome dogs.
