In what public places are Yorkies acceptable? We are going to be getting a Yorkie *hopefully* in a few weeks! :) I want to know where they are acceptable to bring? I haven't ever had a small portable dog so I wasn't sure :) TIA! :) |
I always ask before I bring mine in! My girls are in a stroller so they are happy to just be adored by other shoppers. I take mine to Jo-Ann fabrics all the time, I've gone into coffee shops and gift shops downtown. |
I snuck Misha in Sams once, they told me not to do it again. Anywhere where food is sold except for a few dog friendly restaurants. |
Oh ok... What about like the Mall?? Or a Target that doesn't sell food?? And obviously pet stores, but we live in Texas where if I take her with me, she needs to come in to all the stores with me because it will be way to hot for her in the car. I am just sooo excited to have a dog I can take around with me :) lol |
I would say, of course pet stores, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Macy's, Sears, JC Penney, Car Agencies, Banks, generally, wherever they don't sell food... Although, I have sneaked Luna in Target, Walmart, and once on HEB... She was a little puppy, and was concealed in the carrier... Everything went fine until oranges started squeaking LOL, then I hurried to the exit... I think the point is: Always use a carrier, and if somehow your dog has an accident, be ready, prepared and willing to clean... I found myself cleaning The Home Depot floor, but everybody were happily surprised when I pulled out the carrier the paper towels.... |
I take Dior everywhere except restaurants. She goes to the mall and the bank weekly. We have been turned away from target and walmart once but that hasn't stopped us.:D I had a black carrier for her and no 1 ever suspected. Then i got a Juicy carrier and every 1 wants to see in the bag. Places they are allowed.. Petsmart, Petco, Care a lot, Dog boutiques, Doggy park. I would love to live in Europe where they are allowed everywhere. |
Ok... that makes sense. I literally laughed out loud with the whole oranges squeeking :) Too funny! :) |
I have taken Bandit in to target numerous times, and no one says anything. Walmart on the other hand, it depends on which greeters at the door. |
Pet stores are ok. Malls are a-ok because most have pet stores. Chloe's gone clothes shopping with me in the mall & she went video game shopping with Daddy. We've never been kicked out of any mall store. Not near the food court, though. I took her to Costco and no one said anything until we were paying for our stuff and then they said next time, don't bring the dog. So she won't be going back there... I try to take her as many places as I can. |

same thing happened to me at walmart with romeo. no one even knew he was in the bag until the lady behind me started talking to him!:rolleyes: BUT i have been in walmart early in the morning - before 6am - and i have seen people with their little dogs. i was in lowe's one day and a lady had her pug sitting in the front of the buggy in full view - no bag - and no one seemed to mind! |
If you have a small carrier that looks more like a purse, and she is quiet, then you can actually get by with taking her into any store or resturant. I did that with Zada for the longest time, then we got Azrael and bought a stroller and can still go into most stores, but we don't do the resturant thing unless it's one we can eat outside, because the dog strollers have gotten so popular that they are easily spotted now days. |
Murfee goes almost every place. We have been asked to leave several places but I always give it a try. Even some places that say "no dogs" have said he can come in since he is small and I ALWAYS carry him. Lately he has been riding in his little carrier on my front...the kind all 4 legs are out and no one has turned us away! A lot of people just think it is a back pack only in the front and don't even notice him. Now WalMart is a different story, especially our with a grouchy front door greeter! but I have even snuck him in there. Tourist spots usually always are pet friendly. |
Anywhere we can sneak them in.. lol :P |
Not STARBUCKS!!! I was there on the weekend just to pop in for a coffee. Wasn't staying. I was holding Jeanie - told that I had to leave. I said can I put her in her carrier........no - leave! I was angry, and will not return to starbucks. She could have been reasonable and allowed her in there in the bag......that was just biatchy I thought. Nonetheless, when in the bag, I can take her anywhere.....as long as she doesn't poke her head out. But the big bad S is the only place I have been asked to leave......evil little coffee place :) |
taking my yorkies I take mine all over the place....Lowes is fine with dogs (NC) as long as they stay in the buggy..I left Walmart one hot day as they wouldn't let me go into the garden center (outside) with one of my babies....Petsmart obviously..I've even been into a pharmacy with him (the customer is always right!)..... I've locked the car with the air conditional running (keys in it!) so I could run to the bathroom at a rest stop....(dogs were in crates)...why I can't take them in there I'll never know! We're lucky here in NC that dogs are allowed on the beaches (everywhere) and that they are clean and FREE! Such a change from where we lived on the beach in NJ...couldn't take your dog and they charge you $10 day to go onto it. We vacation at the State and National Parks so the yorkies come too. roxanne in nc |
