I don't know how relevant my experience will be, different country, but for what it's worth here's what I find. I try to take mine everywhere & mostly find I can get away with it, especially in holiday areas more than near home.
No chance in supermarkets or most food shops but most other shops, even with the sign "no dogs except for guide dogs" on the door are more than willing to let such small dogs in if you pick them up to carry them in & immediately ask if they mind me bringing in if I carry them. The usual response is either, " not at all, do come in" or" yes, please come in, you can put them down, no need to carry them." I find carrying them rather than using a pet carrier gets a more positive response
Banks, the Post Office etc, don't even need to ask. |
