People taking their dogs into CVS, and other places that sell food

[Anonymous]

I would to have a dog and bring it everywhere, in an ideal (allergy-free and knowledgeable pet-owner) world. But since the world is filled with pet owners who can't control their pets, I support no-pet rules in buildings.

I would *love* to

So then leave your animal outside. Or in the car. If it's that important, your dog didn't need to come with you.

You can't leave your animal tied up outside a store OP. FFS. They are not bicycles.

WTF? Of course you can. Your animal is an animal (and not a highly trained service one, at that), not a human being. People do it all the time. You nor your doggy are special. Leave it at home, in the car, or outside.

Different poster. I would never do that. My dog is adorable and would be stolen immediately. No way.

If your precious doggy is that adorable, leave it at home. I will never understand why it's so difficult for some dog owners to understand that just because you love your animal, it doesn't mean you can or should bring it with you everywhere. Stop being so entitled and self absorbed.

WTH? PP are you really that inner focused that your issues and circumstances trump anyone else's. Especially at a pharmacy where you can be certain that people are running into as their children are sick too. Or worse. And you have a right to bring your dog because you won't have time to walk him/her that day? You seriously wrote that and think that way????? Btw, I adore dogs and have two who do not accompany me to places where others may not appreciate their being despite having a life challenge that would obviously shatter your world. Get over yourself PP.

It's an action that screams entitlement. I was having breakfast in a cafe the other day and a man came in with his (unleashed) dog. Ridiculous!

Dropping off a prescription while walking your dog is an action that screams entitlement??? I mean, I get that you don't want dogs in CVS, and that's fine, but this is getting really absurd. Try to stay in the real world.

I tie my dog up and leave her outside when I go to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc. (where it's no longer than 5 min and I can see her outside the window). She is used to it and sits patiently & doesn't bother anyone. It never occurred to me to bring her into CVS or any other store.

Both look really fake and the shaking chihuahua doesn't look like a service dog, but since there is no way to be sure, we can't do anything but let them in.
They even feed the dog on their lap while they eat. Nobody wants to sit next to them and whoever has these tables are screwed. 2-3 tables take up because somebody want their dog with them and can't keep it hidden in the bag too long.
It's always the small dog owners though. The ones who are somehow able to hide the dog. The dog is not a pet it's an accessory of some sort.
I blame Paris Hilton.

From the DOJ Civil Rights Division citing ADA

What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal?
A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability.

Please use these questions for people who are trying to pass fake service dogs. The fake service dogs make it difficult for the real service dogs both for safety and for public perception.

Of course it is. I'm honestly shocked you don't think it's entitlement to bring your animal with you into a store, assuming that it's ok (most of the time it's not and stores have a sticker - though not always enforced), just because it's convenient for you. The real world is understanding that your dog is an animal, and you don't need to bring your animal with you everywhere in public because it's convenient for your very special convenient situation.

Bringing your animal may be selfish or bad judgment. It has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement, which is a noun I don't think you understand.

Yes, OP. The odd time that you see this happen do you say anything to the manager? Nothing is accomplished by posting here as far as keeping the dog out of the store.

It never occurred to me to take my dog into a store unless it's a pet store.

[Anonymous]

If the store allows it, it's perfectly alright. If they don't, it's not. Simple as that.

Then you shouldn't be a dog owner if you can't carve out some time to walk the beast. Bringing it into a store to satisfy his walk time is uncool

This. I had been wondering why more "Only service dogs allowed" signs have been popping up on store doors lately. It avoids confusion by clearly stating the store rules.

This is how pets get stolen. It's not going to happen.

Our Walgreens in Old Town gives dog out dog biscuits. Our favorite person who works there yells at us if we come in without our dog.

I'm sorry you don't like it. The CVS next door doesn't allow dogs. So it's not like you don't have options.
