I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and many places are dog-friendly here. The Stanford Shopping Center (located on the Stanford University campus) is very dog-friendly. You can take your dog, large and small, into almost every store. I was in Bloomingdale's with my little Rio and saw a couple with their well-behaved Saint Bernard shopping. Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara is also dog friendly, but it gets crowded so I usually put Rio in her stroller so she doesn't get stepped on.
Target and Walmart are very UNFRIENDLY towards dogs, so you'll need to hide your furbaby well if you want to go there!
We used to put her in her bag and zip her up when we went into restaurants, but lately she's been too "vocal" and we're afraid we'll get kicked out! |
