Have you ever taken one of your dogs/pets inside a store?

Only pet stores, like many others.

Like everyone else, only pet stores.

For those of you who sneak your pets into restaurants, that is not cool. I love my pets, and love their company, but lots of other people don't. I think there is a time and place for everything, and restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and shops are not for animals.

I agree......I have a friend who loves animals, but is allergic to them. In respect for her, and others like her, I wouldn't take my pets into places that don't allow pets.

When Buddy was about 6 mos old, I took him with me inside a AAA Motor
Club. The lady at the desk almost had a heart attack. I kept saying
"he's only a baby". It was in a little strip mall place & really only had people
who worked there inside. I just wanted to check a schedule & leave.

I've only taken the dog's to work and to pet stores.

I've taken Molli into a video store, that was like 2 years ago. And Sam when he was a lil puppy into walmart.

Besides pet stores, the only thing i can remember is taking my Rat Terrier into KMart once when she was a puppy.

I would have taken King more places (especially since we were so bonded and i had a few people suggest he was CGC worthy,) but we're in quite the non-pet friendly area. Heck, many people around here still think dogs should live outside only.

The birds stayed at home (obviously the fish and amphibians did too.)

Koli isn't that well mannered enough for me to even consider it. (Though she IS better behaved than some brats i've seen people bring with them. Although my reference was to canines, it can also apply to humans.)

I take mine in Tractor supply, Bjs (kind of like tractor supply), and pet stores. I don't take them in places that don't allow pets either.

I work at a pet store so they go to work with me all the time. They've been to plenty of other pet stores too.

When Nebo was a tiny puppy we went to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons and he went into quite a few places (being held). Nobody said anything, in fact, in Jackson, most of the store owners welcomed him and were giving him attention.

I didn't know I was going to get Keva when I did so I didn't have any supplies at all. We stopped at a dollar store on the way home and I brought her in and bought her a collar.

Oh, we did have the dogs in an outside section of a restaurant when I was with Kay in Florida...the restaurant allowed that, otherwise we wouldn't have. I've been to Yappy Hour twice and once it was in a hotel and the other time it was at the front area of a big shopping center...so Nebo has been inside those buildings too. Nebo has also been inside several dog-friendly hotels/motels that we've stayed in, Keva has been in one. The last time I was in Yellowstone I had Nebo with me. We were taking turns waiting outside the shops with the dogs. One store owner came out and welcomed us into the store with the dogs. There may be other places I'm forgetting, but with two large dogs its not like I can take them into places without being noticed.
