ALL DOGS NEVER SHOULD BE IN SHOPPING CARTS. Most that we all see are the family pet & it needs to stay home. Legitimate Service Dogs are the exception & even those are to be leashed & not in a cart!!!

My opinion leave your pets at home when shopping ,dining, at the squares, other crowded events.

The only dogs that should be allowed anywhere are service dogs for the blind as per Federal Law - ADA Act. The rest of these emotional support dogs are a bunch of crap that people have taken advantage of for there own pathetic lives. If they can’t go shopping without the dog they should stay home or take their therapist with them. I’ve been a dog owner for 16 years and agree with the germaphobes on this one….chances are the dog has been to the dog park and we all know what’s in the dog park….I remember a post here last year where a lady said she washed her dog in the kitchen sink….gross…

I love dogs too but they should not be in food establishments

What's your take on the public bringing your pets into restaurants, grocery stores, churches?
You can't tell me their all-service dogs and that stuff can be bought on Amazon.

Tell story:
My wife and I were standing in line at Lowes and a young man had his dog in his cart.
As he moved ahead to check out my wife notice a paddle of urine on the floor from his dog in the cart and people behind us were walking there it..

How can Florida's Sanitation Dept. allow this around all things public?

Good pet owners leave their dogs at home where they are safe…… especially during the summer
But if I had the Chevy cat I might have to take him out in public

I just follow mr. T's advice.

It is very unsanitary to bring your animals into stores where there is food being served or sold. Additionally, what about people that have allergies.
My wife is highly allergic to animals suffers greatly when animals are nearby.

Now, that’s really scary!

Dogs do not belong in stores or restaurants!

I lived in Pennsylvania and owned and operated a deli/meat market.
By the Health Dept rules, no animals were allowed to enter any food establishment unless it was a seeing eye dog.
I see people here with their pets (particularly dogs) everywhere and it freaks me out to see them in food establishments.
The Health Bureau needs to clamp down on this sort of nonsense.

I agree 100%. We just bought a winter home in TV. We both still work, for now. I'm a sales rep for a large food dist and I sell to mainly independant restaurants.
One of my best customers allows dogs in her Pub. My wife and I also like to eat there.
I hate it when there's dogs right near us when we're eating. I just think it's unsanitary and sometimes they can be annoying.

Quit treating them like people, they're animals.
Too many people think because they love their pets, everyone should.

Oh and btw, I have a black male and chocolate female lab. They're my buddies, but they're not going to any store, restaurant or event. Dogs belong at home, outdoors or at a dog park.

Depends

[gemini5001]

Dogs should not be allowed to enter Any food establishment PERIOD.
That is unsanitary and the Health Dept should not allow that.
The OP is NOT stirring trouble, YOU ARE !

[chenault55]

I totally agree with most of the posters with the exception of service dogs who are well trained to be with their owners in public for support. All other dogs should be left at home or with a care giver in my opinion which absolutely no one has to agree with.

That’s a good reason for you to have a cell phone. Take a picture of the puddle and share it with us and you could call the pee pee popo right from there
