its not about being anti dog!

i love dogs! But they should not be in stores other than petsmart. unless they are a bonafide service animal,

Sorry karen, you purse pikachu chihuahua doesn't count.

Sorry taking fido to the home depot or lowes, nah, giant, nah, cvs, nah. petsmart Hell Yeah!

folks leave the pets at home when you go shopping. you really think fido likes bing run over by grocery carts or getting his leash tangled up in display or around other peoples legs...

You're proving my point about exclamation points.

Pp used one, so not really.

I love dogs too, but I don’t get this trend to cart them everywhere either.

I counted three exclamation points.

If the store allows it, that is the end of the story. That you don't like it or "understand" it, is another issue entirely. And really doesn't matter to anyone but yourself.

So that is the end. Period. No exclamations.

The dog was very cute - and the family was walking around like it's the most normal thing in the world to bring your dog everywhere.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! STOP THESE INCONSIDERATE MORONS!!!

Most of the places mentioned have no-pets-allowed policies and signs. Obey them, jerks!

Then assholes like you will complain the dog barked. I really don't see how the mere presence of a dog affects your purchase of a bag of Cheetos.

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.

You don’t realize that people steal dogs?

Nobody will steal your dog!!! If it's such an issue, then leave it at home or in the car and walk it later!!! Stores have no-pet policies for a reason!!! FYI, 2 people in 1 family I know were attacked by the same dog, a supposedly nice, fine dog belonging to their neighbors!!! Also, some of us are in the pharmacy specifically to pick up allergy medications because the problem is already out of control!!! Couple that with extreme fear and uneasiness, and you are creating an absolutely unbearable experience!!!

I hope you’re also getting anxiety meds, you seem a tad worked up.

Seriously, nobody will steal your dog. If you disagree, then leave it at home, as people used to do.

FYI, in general they don't allow it. If they do, some of us will just start faking allergy attacks and panic attacks just as many fake service-animal status. You will be thrown out anyway.

I was at the Whole Foods in Santa Monica on thanksgiving morning and dogs were everywhere in the store and not justpurse dogs- labs, goldendoodles etc. no one batted an eye and I didn’t mind either. Seemed weird being from DC but dog culture is very prevalent there and totally accepted.

I've been to stores and have seen dogs inside but that doesn't mean that it's allowed. Often, the people that work there just don't want to get into a confrontation with the customer who has the dog. The best way to see if animals are allowed is to look at the door at the store entrance. If there is a sign on the store saying no animals then the dog clearly isn't allowed. However, people don't pay attention and take their animals inside regardless.

Go right the F ahead and do that, snowflake. But, until then, if the dog is there and isn't being thrown out, that is the end of it.

Or perhaps the grocery/Amazon delivery services are more your speed. So you can stay in your bubble. Then we also don't have to interact with you. Win-win.

Why can't parents leave their double strollers outside? Why do they get to clog up an entire aisle in CVS with either the stroller or their kid/s running wild? Is this also on your list of things people shouldn't do?

I SMH at that entitled behavior, but frankly it's none of my business. I simply turn around go another way.
I don't understand why people feel they have to police every thing going around them.

I look at people who do this as seriously emotionally fragile and psychologically stunted, or very mentally ill.

Exactly. Extremely low self esteem, maybe.

My dog is cleaner than a crackhead, we wouldn't ban a crackhead would we? No. So why ban my dog? Dogs are more important than other pets due to the inextricable relationship they have to human evolution. There would be no CVS without the vital role of wolf corporation with early humans. Our civilization is literally built on dogs. Cat people should stay at home with their cats where they belong.

Well, a kid running around inside the store might bump into me but probably isn't going to make me sneeze, cause my face to swell and give me breathing difficulties. A dog probably would. So yeah, it's my business if people bring something indoors that directly affects my health within minutes. Before you come back to snark that I and others with allergies should just stay home inside a bubble--we do know dogs are out in the world; we just know they should not be in inappropriate places, like inside businesses unless those businesses are pet supply stores. Yes, I do get to determine what's inappropriate.
