acceptable to bring a dog to the mall.

[BamaFan121s]

I say if the mall (or anywhere else) allows them, then take them...if they don't allow them, then don't.

I like my dogs, and all Yorkies, but I understand why and agree with stores and public establishments not allowing them and when that's the case, I think the policy should be followed. Not all dogs are UTD on vaccinations, not all dogs are well groomed and behaved. Kind of hard to draw the line and allow some and restrict the others.

I am in Sarasota FL and have had our Maltese in Walmart several times. However we were kicked out the last two times we tried. It seems to be an issue with food, and the store can get fined. My daughter worked at Walmart at the time and she suggested I get a vest for the dog so he could be a service dog then they are allowed everywhere! Home Depot never cares if I bring a dog with me and i see other dogs there often.

I wish I could take my Max everywhere with me but there isn't many places that welcome him We have been to Petsmart and he loves the fuss he gets from everyone!

There seems to be a lot of places beginning to slowly allow Pets such as the holiday (his first) we have just booked to the beach. There are some pubs and cafes that allow him in! So excited.

Wow. I certainly hope you are joking.

Our mall doesn't allow them, but two stores in the mall do!

The mall has a Moochie & Co. & a photography studio and you can bring them in there!

Amen Yorkie sister!!!

[MommysBabyRoxy]

I do the same, if they tell me my dog is not welcome, then my money is not welcome either. Like I told the man at Burlington.

I know how a lot of ppl feel about dogs being in public places, but I feel the same way about their children, and they can bring them anywhere.

When I went into America's Best, there were these 3 kids running around touching ALL the glasses and knocking things down, and they had dirty faces. What if one of those kids bit me? What if they had a disease?

lol.

You dont take your kids out if they behave badly, you dont take your dogs out if they behave badly. If theyre clean, well taken care of, and you have proof of shots and have them under control, take em out.



My Roxy and Lexi are way cleaner than snot nosed kids... lol... and better behaved at that.

[Yorkiedaze]

Target and Wal-Mart won't let them in, Ross has a rule that if they are confined in a carrier and not walking on the floor, then they are allowed. We take the girls to all the Malls and shopping centers and have never been told we couldn't. Of course we are respectful of the stores and keep them in their stroller.

When Buddy was a puppy I took him to the mall walking him in my
granddaughter's carriage. She always wanted to walk so in he went.
No one every said anything to me. He got too big so now he can't go
I swore I would socialize him any way I could. But this didn't work for
long.

I'm originally from Detroit and they had just owned that mall when I moved to Atlanta . So cool. When we come home in May it would be cool to meet u guys at the mall and do a bit of shopping.


To the original poster... I've taken Troy to church and to a few stores like target and etc. I think anywhere that doesn't have food is ok to taken ur furkid. I did church as an experiment and noone even noticed he was in his bag but I doubt I'd do it again.

[ShylahTaffy]

I bring Saphira everywhere with me. I don't think I have ever left her at home. I put her in my bag and off we go. She is the best little traveller. I have never had a problem with bringing her anywhere...although nobody ever knows she's there

[tarczely]

I totally agree- rules are rules- if Yorkies are allowed so should great Danes. While I wish I could take my dogs everywhere i do understand why animals aren't allowed in most stores.

Some places allow pets, I usually go up to the counter and ask if it's ok and if they say yes I bring him in. For all the crafty people, Hobby Lobby has no problem with pets, Capone gets so much attention there. I take him to run errands like the bank, firestone, cafes where you can eat outdoors near the sidewalk usually allow them to sit at your feet while you eat. Sometimes I get looks from people, but Capone loves the attention and I don't care about the crazy looks from other customers.
