Saturday night mass a lady brought a small dog in a dog carrier into church. She sat down in a chair & the dog didn't make a peep. Obviously not a service dog. Seriously.

We have a stroller for our dog. He is now 14 years old and while he still wants to get outside and go for walks, his legs don’t last long and then he is sore the next day. The stroller allows him to still get outside and see things.

What about those of us that don't want to put food in a cart where a dog's bare but, and genitals were just laying on. Also my wife is afraid, and allergic to dogs. We will no longer shop in Sam's Club or any food store that allows this policy. I do own a non-allergenic cat(Bengal), maybe I will start bringing him shopping at these stores.

For the people who take their dog shopping at The Grocery Store or for that matter any Store???????? LEAVE YOUR DOG HOME!!!!!!!!! Most dogs I see in the stores are not a SERVICE DOG. IF you can see you don't need your DOG to go shopping with you. I know, next time you go for a Doctors visit take your Dog with you. Maybe Dr. Shrink can figure YOU out.

There are many reasons to use a stroller, I use mine because I have small dogs with little legs and they can't walk long without overheating. It keeps them off the neighbors lawns, from getting fleas, and from getting hurt in crowds. They love viewing the world at a higher level. They beg to get in the stroller, even when I'm trying to get them some exercise. It is especially good for my senior dog who has difficulty with movement. However I'm agreement with previous post my dogs don't come shopping with me they don't come to lunch with me they don't go in stores with me . The stroller is a matter of convenience and safety for me and my dogs outdoor activity.

Some puppers are old and arthritic. The stroller is a means to let the dog get a little enjoyment from the outdoors without making him walk painfully.

Real service dogs DO NOT ride in carts

It personally doesn't bother me to see dogs in establishments or carts. Yes the bare butt on cart may not be the most hygienic but I don't put groceries in that top area and have acquired a great hand washing routine since Covid that probably prevents me from getting any residual butt remnants into me. Dogs always make me smile, but if you're allergic, I can see how that would be more of an issue.

A lady walked into my dentist office about 3 months back. I asked the receptionist if the health department allowed that she said she was told it was a service dog. It weighed about 2 lbs., maybe it could pull its owners socks off.

Meanwhile, other people do use that top area and put unwrapped produce there. And hand washing is an excellent suggestion, but not because of COVID, which is not transmitted in that fashion.
