When I see a pet in a store, I politely remind the person that pets and comfort animals don't belong there. If it appears to be a service animal, it is legal to ask "What service does your animal perform for you?" If you get stuttering, you have your answer.

The offender may not leave, but I have made a point. If more people did this, perhaps it would help.
I was sitting at the bar area of Amerikanos one night and a woman, drunk as a skunk sat next to me with her teacup dog on her lap. The bartender asked her to put her dog on the floor as pets are not allowed near the bar for sanitary reasons. She was asked three times and refused. She was quietly escorted out.
That's how it should be.
