Inside?! we have to remember that a lot of these people and businesses don’t want to get a legal trouble by denying an “ emotional support animal” so they won’t say anything. None of these places that you listed should allow dogs inside. I thought this was going to be a nice list of where dogs are welcome on patios.


"Emotional Support Animals" are pets. They are not service animals. There is no legal right to bring your "emotional support animal" anywhere according to ADA, and ADA makes this very clear on their website.

And you CAN ask certain questions, and deny someone entry if they refuse to answer questions.

People need to stop being selfish gross princesses and bringing their doggos with them everywhere.


I completely agree that they’re not service animals and don’t belong inside. But my point stands that businesses are weary of getting into any legal issues. I think they are afraid of just asking.


They shouldn't need to ask -- service animals should be in a vest that identifies them as such. I can't imagine anyone with a service animal leaving their house to go to the store without putting the animal's vest on.

I'm dog obsessed and love my dogs more than anything but my DH. But I would never take them into a grocery store -- that is a damn health hazard. (Service dogs should, of course, be welcome, and it makes sense as they are needed by their people, and highly trained animals that you can count on to not get into the food, go to the bathroom in the store, etc.)

Or we could just post their business names/locations here, to shame them.

Because we all know talking to management won't do anything more than at the moment. The public needs to know which places don't have any enforcement. In general, this trend of bringing your pet everywhere needs to stop.

Do they have a sign that says all dogs are allowed in, or you have just taken your dogs inside and no minimum-wage workers have kicked you out?
