| Taking your Yorkie with you... I haven't had my Yorkie very long ---but the other night it was cold. I didn't want to leave my pup in the car and took him into the Safeway store with me. He is little - was covered with a blanket (except for his face) and was quiet and well behaved. No one (even the employees) told me he couldn't be in the store. And, everyone who noticed him thought he was very cute --of course! I had no problem with him in the store that evening. Where do you take your dogs. Where are they allowed --and what sort of places might not allow them. (My brother-in-law, a restaurant owner said dogs are not allowed in restaurants - other than seeing eye dogs, etc. It's against health regulations.) I would like to take my dog with me more - but don't want to cause any problems. And, I don't approve of "sneaking him into places where he shouldn't be." I know a lot of people do this --but it is not the right thing to do. Carol Jean |

| It all depends on where you live and how dog friendly they are. I have read on here where people take their dogs everywhere. Here the only place I can take them is petco and petsmart.

| Well they arent allowed in Target(I got in trouble ) or usually any place that sells grocerys- health reasons. I think its actually a health code thing. I think if you have them in a closed in carrier that looks like a purse, you wouldnt have an issues.

| They generally are not allowed any place that sells food - so that is a lot of places. I take Rowdy to sporting goods stores that my hubby frequents a lot. I've had him in Lowes and Home Depot. I do put him in a denin bag carrier that is very enclosed and I take him places that he really is not supposed to go - but I only do it if it is too cold or too hot to leave him in the car.

| I currently live in Germany and they are so dog friendly and tolerant with animals in many places....to the point of bringing their dogs along with them to restaurants!!! So that just gives me the opportunity to take Twinkie with me WHEREVER I go. Ive had her for only 2weeks but I have taken her to coffee shops, malls and supermarkets with no problems. Actually I have a hard time leaving the stores since everyone gathers around us and starts petting her.

I have been in gas stations and other stores with her. Sometimes you can call ahead and ask. Alot of places don't care if she's kept in the bad and her feet don't touch the floor. | |

| Has anyone taken their Yorkie on a train or subway? I live in the city so I may want to take my yorkie with me a lot on public transportation. I plan to call my railway system but was just wondering because I never saw anyone bring pets there other than seeing-eye dogs. |

| Vivi goes everywhere I take Vivi with me to restaurants, movies, drugstores, grocery stores etc.Most of the time she is tucked under my coat with her head sticking out.If it is place that doesn't allow dogs ,ie.restaurants, I have a dog carrier that resembles a handbag and no one knows she is there. This only works in restaurants that have booths or outside tables. I love having her with me.

Mom loves Gucci Donating Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: New York City

| Gucci has gone with us shopping and some fast food restaurants. She stays on her carrier and nobody even know she is there. Last January we stood at a hotel in Atlantic City and on our way back home(NYC) my cousin decided to stop at Applebee's. We couldn't leave Gucci on the car beacuse it was cold and the parking was far from the restauant, so I had no choice to snick her in. The whole time we were there Gucci was sleeping on her carrier. Nobody even notice. |

| I'm lucky that Bouncer can go to work with me since I work in a groom shop/boutique. But he's been to the grocery store, hospital, mall, and just tons of other places. I know for a fact Dogs are allowed in Lows and Home Dept. And most places, so long as there is no food sold, will typically allow dogs. And then again, if you have a carrier that looks like a purse (I have one), you can take them just about anywhere if you have to. Also, most banks don't care if dogs come in or not either. Bouncer goes to the bank with me every Friday and it's all we can do to get out the door without people wanting to hold him. lol If you have a doubt, just call and ask. Most businesses will appreciate that you even care to make sure it's OK beforehand.
