If you are so deathly allergic to dogs that you can’t be within a few feet of them, it is your responsibility to stay away from all places that could have dogs. That burden of protecting yourself does not belong to society.

It belongs to you.

If you are that deathly allergic to dogs or pet dander, you need to accept the risks of going out in public…..or you should stay home.

It’s that simple.

So we should accommodate all other disabilities but someone with a serious allergy shouldn’t be able to go grocery shopping?

Who is being denied grocery shopping?

If someone is deathly allergic to dogs and their dander, there are grocery delivery services and grocery drive-up services available to them. They will not starve. This is just as much an accommodation as a wheelchair ramp, braille, etc.

For the record, I am not condoning people bringing dogs where they are not allowed, but there are LOTS of stores and restaurants where they are permitted. If people have life-threatening allergies to dogs and dander, they shouldn't be around any dog owners....and that's practically impossible to avoid, I'd think.

You are psychotic.

DP. Why? Deadly allergies to passing dogs aren’t common if they exist at all.

PP thinks dogs should be banned from public places for some deadly dog allergy. 😆😆

Anyone with such a life-threatening problem needs to take the appropriate cautions for themselves.

I have a severe dog allergy. I take a ton of precautions, including calling everywhere I go before I go to make sure they aren't dog friendly. But people straight up do.not.care. and bring their dogs anyway. I have left many a public place on account of dogs and it really really sucks. It is the only health issue people feel comfortable saying you should be excluded from society because of. Oh, but if you have a service dog, the red carpet should be rolled out. It is the height of hypocrisy.

You can’t be in the same space with a dog? What happens to you?

I don't think it's accurate to say that people "do.not.care."

No, I truly can’t. My throat swells, I wheeze, I get hives. If I am exposed for long enough it progresses to a systemic reaction where I get hives all over my body. If this happens I have to do a course of steroids and it can take weeks to fully go away.

The only logical solution.. Call the store/restaurant/whatever venue you are going to. If they allow dogs and that makes you nervous don't go. Find another spot. Clearly the ownership of those businesses have thought through their decision to allow dogs and it most likely is in their best interest to be dog friendly.

If you don't like the business' decision..take it up with them.

If I bring my dog somewhere that is allowed you have absolutely no basis for being annoyed unless my dog attacks you or is being annoying/barking. If you are deathly allergic to dogs and don't call the store to confirm and break out in hives..that's on you and nobody else. You are responsible for your life.

I feel your pain, OP. I'm so tired of the entitled pet owners. I went to a brewery this weekend. It is dog friendly - and kid friendly, at that. I tried to order a beer but a woman with her dog refused to move out of the line of the cashier. She said that her dog LOVED attention so she didn't want to pull him in on her leash to let people pass. I moved around the dog to order but she just had him follow me. I made it clear that I was trying to order, pay and avoid him and she did nothing. She then asked if I was allergic, implying that she would mov him then. What an ass. Honestly, all you have to do is be courteous. It shouldn't matter if I'm allergic or not just move your damn dog. But this generation of pet owners have no sense of respect and only entitlement. A millennial thing, I guess?. By comparison, I didn't let my children wander all over the place and look for attention. Can you imagine the uproar if I did?

Dog owners, pretend your dogs are kids. No one wants kids running all over them. So reel in yours. It's not that hard to be a decent human.

No, don’t tell people to pretend their dogs are their children, that only emboldens them! I have yet to meet anyone who is allergic to my children. People don’t tend to be scared of my children. I do, however, keep my large dog close to me and prevent him from touching anyone else. He’d love to sniff everyone and get lots of attention, but I let people choose whether to approach him. It’s a two-yes, one-no kind of situation.

But the problem is that lots of people don’t ask in advance whether their dog is welcome at certain establishments. They just bring their dog and assume it’s fine if no employee asks them to leave. Even where dogs aren’t welcome, employees don’t feel comfortable asking customers to leave. Restaurants and retail jobs tend to employ young people who aren’t highly compensated, may not have much work experience, and don’t intend to keep the same job for very long. The burden for enforcement then falls to other customers, who don’t want to be accused of being “Karens.” When no one asks the dog owner to remove their dog, they believe they have confirmation that their dog was allowed.

And when you bring your dog where it isn’t allowed and then go all high pitched and shrieky on the manager after I’ve reported your dog, what then? Are you responsible for your life? I would argue that you think that you are not, that you believe the world needs to cater to you.

Worst of all are the people who bring pit bulls into public. No one in the public needs to be exposed to a nervous murder machine.

No..I don't bring my dog places that aren't allowed. If I've never been into the store I walk i pop my head in and ask if dogs are permitted. You live in La La land. 99.99% of dog owners don't get high pitched and yell at a store manager if dogs aren't allow.

It appears YOU are the one who thinks the world should cater to them. If a store allows it, deal with it. Don't expect them to change their rules because of your precious sniffles.
