This is a VERY good point. I can't tell you how many times I've had encounters with irresponsible pet owners in a pet store. I've even caught a dog who slipped off it's leash as the owner chased it around. The last time I was there with the boys, someone's pit mix was at the end of it's leash pulling at us as we turned the corner...and the owner ignored his dog and kept on talking to the store employee as it was lunging towards us.
It's probably much safer to have your dogs up in a shopping cart simply because of the ignorant owners who let their pets run wild.
