I have to say that i can understand why stores do not want pets to enter. Imagine if everyone took their pets into stores (any store) and you find pee and poop all over the place. maybe the cleaning staff didn't see an area that needed cleaned up or whatever. although I do think they need to welcome the pets that are carried or in strollers or bags. I see no harm in that. (or continuous barking) Like my Ahia did in an office supply store recently. LOL. I did however take her out side when i couldn't make her stop barking. (She was upset over the prices.)
I think they should allow those small pets if contained or controlled. They should accept them along with guidelines.
One store that tees me off is Target. They don't allow pets inside but have started this whole line of pet gear. They expect you to spend gobs of money on your pet but won't let them come in to pick it out!
