Yep...did it today actually!! We made a trip to Petsmart first and then Petco. Within 5 minutes of being in Petsmart, one of them pooped and I had to clean it up...and then Ricky decided to lift his leg at the end of an isle...so I cleaned that up and then as soon as I was done, he peed on a pole and I cleaned that up, even though it was no more than a dribble.
There have been times when the first 10 minutes in there is me running back and forth to the cleaning stations bc they take back to back poops and pee's...this is, of course, after we've spent a considerable amount of time trying to potty outside first
Despite the various cleaning stations, I see piles of pee everywhere in there. IDK if people aren't paying attention to their dogs or they just don't care. Somehow, it doesn't surprise me though....there are lots of people who don't curb their dog in my neighborhood so why would they bother to do it at any other public place. Sadly, these are the people that give dog owners a bad rap. Maybe if everyone cleaned up after their dogs, business owners wouldn't as strict about pet policies.
