That is the very first time I've heard that animals can't shop with you at a Pet Smart or Pet Supermarket!!!??? I could understand if you brought a dog that did not behave and then they ask if you could please put it in a kennel there . I would have been very upset and would have walked out as well. I don't dare bring Cookie or Mimi into other places anymore. I do bring them to pet supply stores.Does this store have a sign outside that says " Behaved Pets Welcomed,leashed" Or something like that? I have seen those signs on every sliding door of Pet Supermarket or PetSmart.I went once to the Post Office ,not to wait in line to ship something out. I went to where all the P.O Boxes were and they have a shipping/label machine there. I had Mimi in one of those Front carry packs, she was 1 lb at the time! As soon as the guy saw me his eyes turned insane and he told me " You cant bring that in here!" He just motioned me to come over to his counter and rolled his eyes and was still going to help me.
I was going to ask him something about shipping and I was so pissed off that I told him "FORGET IT" I drove out of my way to another Post Office.

This reminds me of a trip to Tractor Supply. I was looking for a scale to weigh the puppies. The girl said, 'you could bring them here and use our scale!' I think I probably will in a few more days. They are getting too big and wiggly to weigh on my postal scale.

Thanks, Brenda!
Just wanted to be sure it was the sporting goods store! When we get their next catalog, I intend to mail it back to them with a letter explaining why!! ;) I am sick and tired of our babies being treated that way! We have never, ever taken her in any store unless she is either in her bag or in our arms!! I just can't understand what their problems are! :(

That's a huge store by the way, I saw it on the news. I just don't think we should expect everyone to treat our pets like we would. You allow a yorkie in then you have to allow a great dane, next thing you know employees are cleaning poop up off the floor. Pets simply aren't allowed to go everywhere we want them to and I think it's unreasonable to expect everyone to be accommodating.

I have to agree with you on this one. Where do you draw the line on what pets are allowed in a store. I brought one of my dachshunds, weighed 4 pounds with me to work. My mother owns the business and I was the only one working that day so Cinnamon was keeping me company. An older lady came in and bout had a heart attack when Cinnamon ran up to her, so she could pet her. the lady was just about in tears. Cinnamon was just looking at her wagging her tail. I had to put her away til she left. Not everyone is an animal lover like we are and most stores are here to accomidate us(people) not dogs. Sorry ya'll, I'd like to take my dogs everywhere too, but wouldn't get upset if asked not to bring them in. :aimeeyork

I have to say that i can understand why stores do not want pets to enter. Imagine if everyone took their pets into stores (any store) and you find pee and poop all over the place. maybe the cleaning staff didn't see an area that needed cleaned up or whatever. although I do think they need to welcome the pets that are carried or in strollers or bags. I see no harm in that. (or continuous barking) Like my Ahia did in an office supply store recently. LOL. I did however take her out side when i couldn't make her stop barking. (She was upset over the prices.)
I think they should allow those small pets if contained or controlled. They should accept them along with guidelines.
One store that tees me off is Target. They don't allow pets inside but have started this whole line of pet gear. They expect you to spend gobs of money on your pet but won't let them come in to pick it out!

I think it would be nice if there were a way to certify a dog to be people and store friendly, that they could come in if they were properly contained on a leash, in a carrier or stroller, etc. I just know too many inconsiderate dog owners, who don't really care about their dogs or anyone else, would bring their dog to the store with fleas and who knows what. Soon there wouldn't be a store fit to shop in. And that's not even mentioning cats or other pets. :eek:

What a novel idea Laura. That would be cool. Like a dog shopping license where they are proben to be trained to be in public places and not bite, bark or pee or poop. Soemthing like that. Hmmmmmm......

There is a sign on the door at the Petsmart I go to that says something to the effect that all leashed pets are welcome. :confused:

I was stopped at a Walmart,, can you believe that? The woman who had just started there was so snotty. Gus was in his bag being a good boy. He has never given me any promblems,,, well, one time at the mall, a kid wasnt watching where he was going a bumped into his bag. Gus did not like it one bit and growled at the kid. But anyway, this lady was a being a witch. I told her that I always shop there and I have never been told anything before. In fact quite a few employee's know me and Gus. She then told me that there is a no pets sign in front. So she called the Manager, who I also knew,,, All he told me is what I already knew. As long as he's in the bag it was fine. So I went on my way and did my shopping. When walking out she just gave me a dirty look and I couldn't help myself,,, as I past her I laughed and said haha!

The other day I went in and there she was,,,, I gave her a big smile and she just looked the other way. And to top it off one of lady's who's just inlove with my Gus had to stop and say hi.

You know what? You are so spoiled - and this I am saying only because I am freaking jalous of you, living in a country where you can take your dog shopping. ONLY service dogs are allowed in Danish stores - and I mean ONLY!And in food stores not even servicedogs are allowed, they will rather spend money on having people help the disabled person...

I never have and I never will be shopping with my girls. Not even pet stores allow dogs....go figure...it's a germthing...we're big on that in Denmark.

I hope there will always be stores where your babies are welcome, just because my kids are a little hairier than other kids doesn't mean they are filthy or filled with germs =(

lyricandme 06-23-2005 11:42 PM
OOOHHH! That makes me so mad! Fortunately, I have lots of friends that are business owners and they welcome Rocky with open arms! But, I have been tossed out of Target before! I have found several places where I live that don't have a problem with it, if Rocky stays in his purse. Some people are just so hateful! Who wouldn't want a Yorkie near them??? They just don't know how great they are!

I'm sorry you feel that way. However, Maggie was totally enclosed (all six sides). Maggie is tiny, versus a Great Dane horse. Her poo would fit in a gum wrapper. Better have a bucket for a Great Dane. Sorry this was a Sporting Goods Store, with hunters and animals in mind. I do not see the comparison of a Yorkie and a Great Dane.

If a pup is enclosed completely- in a stroller or carrier, what's the big deal?You can't put mammoth dogs in carriers, so I think that would weed them out.

I was at the "posh" mall in my town a few weeks ago and saw a lady with a medium/large dog on a leash. No harness (Service dogs have to have their special harnesses here), no state certified tags. No one seemed to have a problem with it.

I was in a store in Galveston petting the sweetest little Cairn boy (he was in a harness) and this stupid b**** in line behind me gave me this nasty look like he was filthy! I just gave her a nasty look back and said "Good boy! You're so FRIENDLY!!!" Unlike SOME people!
