Our babies right to go in stores! Not sure if there is a post on this already... But i think they should make it where we can take our babies to the store with us!!! we can petsmart and petco... but it should be allowed to take them to walmart and other places. i hate leaving my little guy at home while im out having fun. what do you guys think? |

thats cool... yeah i know its a given about the food section and restaraunts. but stores in general. i think they should allow it. i took mine for his first outing on the 29th. to pay bills.. we went in the bank, a furniture store and the cable company. but i dont know if our walmart and other stores like that will allow me to bring him . |
I don't blame the stores for having a no dogs allowed policy. Think about it. If they did allow dogs they could not discriminate on size, and there are too many large dogs who would love to establish territory by marking on everything, and look at all those clothes hanging down. Then there are fear biters, and with little toddles and kids in those stores, I'm sure the law suits from biting dogs would put them out of business. |
yeah thats true... |

Sorry not in Walmart or any Grocery Store! I love all Animals, especially my 3 Yorkie's and I'm sure everybody loves their Pets as well, but if I ever see any Dog of any size or any Breed in Walmart or any other Dept. Store that has food - Target etc. I would report it to the Store Manager, I'm Sorry but I have to draw the line here I don't want any one's "Pet" near or around any Food that I may or may not purchase! Besides there are alot of different People that go to Walmart and not all People are "Dog Lover's"? It sounds foriegn to us since we are all Yorkie Fanatics. The thought of any dog around food does not sit well with me. What about my Human Right? All 3 of mine are bathed twice a week, and 2 of them even sleep with me. I take them every where except Walmart and Target for that very reason, out of respect for others. And if they were allowed in there I wouldn't take them and I would never try to sneek them in either, it just seems wrong and gross! But that's just my opinion and feelings sorry if anyone got offended, that was not my intention. Aloha |
This topic comes up entirely to often... It reminds me of politics. |
You have to think about the liability for the stores. What if they allow all dogs and one bites someone? What if some of these dogs haven't had all their shots or something? There's no way to check, unless they have someone stand at the door and check vet records that people would be required to bring with them. They can't have dogs peeing and pooping all over, and I sure wouldn't want to step in it while I'm shopping. Of course, you wouldn't want dogs around any food. There's so much to be considered, there's just no way to do it. And could you imagine the people who are not as responsible as others?:eek: It could end up being a nightmare, so I understand why they don't allow dogs in stores. |

Our babies right to go in stores Gracie has a Vera Bradley carrier that looks like a large shoulder bag. We take her everywhere in it--except restaurants (unless there is an outdoor seating area) and grocery stores. Last night she went to Borders with us and was quiet as a mouse and just happy to be "hanging" on one of our shoulders. Nobody in the store even guessed we had a dog. Wed. we went to a restaurant with an outdoor patio and she sat down under the table, in her bag, the entire time we ate and just slept. The waitress never even noticed her nor did any other customers. I have to say the carrier has the most comfy pad in the bottom and she just settles right in. |
sorry... you can delete the post if ya want.. i guess i should have put more thought into it before posting. |
Recently on the way home from the vet, I had to stop in at Walmart to grab some supplies. I stopped at the service desk and asked if I could bring Gizmo in with me. I explained that it was wayyy too hot to leave him in the car. The manager told me that they never have a problem with small dogs in carriers. They just have to STAY in the carrier and NEVER be put on the floor. If they start whining or barking, we would also be asked to leave. (That didn't happen - he was an angel). Different stores have different policies I'm sure, but in this case it was better than leaving him in a hot car. I could have gone home and then gone back to the store, and I would have if the manager hadn't been as agreeable. Most people didn't even notice him. |
