Bed Bath and Beyond

So I think this is interesting. I am a young woman putting myself through college and I am a manager at the McDonald's in my town. The other day a girl walks in with her chihuahua puppy ..granted he was sort of in a carrier, but everyone knew she had a dog. Now, I AM a dog lover on every level, but I was flabbergasted. If our health department was there, we could have been shut down Of course, another manager politely asked her to take her order to go..we did allow her to place her order and wait for it...but I just thought this thread was interesting because while I take Brookie everywhere also, I was just baffled by this young woman, I mean some of us might hide our babies in purses and what not, but as far as restaurants go, ANY animals are considered a critical food safety issue and you can be fined/shut down....
SO I am going to say that McDonald's can definitely not be on this list..LOL But alas, someday maybe the health department will calm down, and I can take Brookie to work with me !!

Yes, we asked the manager the first time. Now, we go in regularly. They are in the same strip as Petsmart and Michaels (we go in there too).

I don't shop there but I have taken my furkid into Target before. He just rode in the kid-part of the cart. I was actually surprised no one said anything because people around here are not friendly at all. Like a previous replier said, I just held my head up high like there was nothing at all wrong with it.

I think it depends on your area and the type of store it is... I wouldn't take him into a grocery store or anything. Just be prepared to encounter a nasty associate that might try to kick you out!

great resource, thanks for posting! I've always wondered how to find pet-friendly hotels without calling them all up and asking.

I just noticed you live where i lived for 27 years. I lived on the corner of 42nd Ave and Queensbury Road.

I think it depends on where you are at and who "catches" you or the MGRs mood that day OR if there is unloving furbaby person in there that is jealous bc your baby acts better than her 2 legged kid

i agree!!! i don't see why BBB would mind - there is no food in the store. well not like a grocery store i mean. i also think it has alot to do with what time you go - if they have a little more people in the store then they may flex their muscle!

i have seen a lady in lowes with her cute little pug and he was sitting in the front - where you put your kids - and as sweet as could be!


thanks for the dog friendly link! i have never heard of it so i will check it out!
