I've taken MooShoo (my Sphynx) into Sam's Club a couple of times, but then I was stopped because they DO sell food. The only place I take him now is the pet stores, and only when it's warm enough out.

We had a woman bring in her Chihuahua into Bed, Bath & Beyond. Another customer complained. I asked our manager and he said no it wasn't okay because we do sell food as well, and could be cited by the Health Department. Only service dogs are allowed. He said that the woman with the dog has been in before and spoken to. They talked to her again and she hasn't been in since.
