Recently on the way home from the vet, I had to stop in at Walmart to grab some supplies. I stopped at the service desk and asked if I could bring Gizmo in with me. I explained that it was wayyy too hot to leave him in the car. The manager told me that they never have a problem with small dogs in carriers. They just have to STAY in the carrier and NEVER be put on the floor. If they start whining or barking, we would also be asked to leave. (That didn't happen - he was an angel). Different stores have different policies I'm sure, but in this case it was better than leaving him in a hot car. I could have gone home and then gone back to the store, and I would have if the manager hadn't been as agreeable. Most people didn't even notice him.
