Many of us are all to familiar with the feeling of guilt when you see the look indicating sadness on a dog's face when you're getting ready to leave without them. While it is generally accepted for service dogs to enter public places, there are also a number of businesses that allow well-behaved canines through their doors, whether as service dogs or as companions. This article focuses on some of them.
PLEASE NOTE: Though a chain's policy may be friendly to dogs, it is often up to the manager of an individual location as to whether or not dogs are allowed inside. Also, remember to keep your dogs on a leash, for their safety and that of others, and to try to avoid possible property damage.
Pet Supply Stores
Among the most welcoming to dogs, for obvious reasons, are pet stores.
Examples: Petco, PetSmart, Pet Supplies Plus
Bookstores
Now, when you're looking for a good book to read while curled up next to your furry friends, you can bring them with you. Perhaps they can even advise you on what to choose.
Example: Barnes & Noble and Half Price Books. Be advised that dogs are not allowed inside Barnes & Noble cafes.
Sporting Goods Stores
