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.

But you feel you have the right to bring your precious pup into every and any store you choose because of your entitlement? Dogs aren't meant to be an accessory to tote along with you. I love dogs but I don't want your dog in any store other than a pet store, especially if they aren't a service dog and no emotional support dogs aren't a thing.

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.

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.

I hope you complained to the store manager. If you didn't do it while there, PP, please complain. You should be able to find contact information on the store's or chain's website. If the store has a Twitter account and so do you, tweet at them. Unless those of us who have concerns with this behavior complain about it to store owners, every time, they won't ever develop the spine to start turning away people who try to bring in pets where they shouldn't. And a grocery store is definitely a "shouldn't." We can commiserate here anonymously but we also need to complain to these businesses.

Seriously, people, cut it out! Nobody wants your pets in there!

so a dog owner can shop in peace while dog is safe outside. It would be great to have those option
especially in the neighborhood grocery store so many people would shop so much often being
able to take a dog for a walk and grab few thigns at the same time, otherwise it is a production
if you have to get dog back home then go to the store. Good for business, more business..
better for bottom line and great for dog owners, what's not to love?
