I always call ahead to see if my dogs are allowed. If they aren't, I just don't bring them. Honestly I find it a bit distracting if I am shopping to have my dog with me. If I know I am just running in and out, that's a different story.. but to actually shop I prefer them to stay home. Mckenzie is the only dog I have small enough to comfortably carry in her carrier and she is anxious in big crowds so if I can't properly socialize her, she stays home which is better for all of us. |
