I am seeing dogs in stores, including the supermarket. Leave them at home. They are dogs, not babies.

I adore dogs. I have a grand dog that I spoil.
However I happen to have bad allergies that can be triggered by dogs. Please do NOT bring your dogs into stores.

Other than at a McDonald's (or the equivalent), I feel the same way about screaming kids or kids running around and not staying in their seats.

As I understand it, the ADA doesn't recognize "comfort" animals. They do recognize "service" animals. Establishments can ask if the "service" animal is required because of a disability and what services the animal is providing. If more establishments did this then perhaps the number of "pets" in stores would decrease. I can appreciate the fact that most businesses don't want to risk losing customers and I suspect that is why you don't see any (many) challenges.

I too love dogs, but I would NEVER subject my pet to the noise, crowds, heat and no water that some others are willing to do! What’s the purpose? You’re no doing it under these circumstances to exersize your pet. Certainly not for socializing (situation is stressful and overwhelming for any pooch). No, it’s a selfish thing for the dog owner. Look at my large handsome dog behaving so well in such a public place. Or look at my cute little substitute baby in her stroller with pink ribbons in her fur. There are many varied themes to this, but the realization is that it’s not about the diog, it’s about the owner! The dog may suffer, but the owner has the spot light. Leave your pets at home if you truly care about them,

Restaurants must allow service dogs. The service dog can perform any of a number of services and is not restricted to just seeing eye dogs. For example, the service dog could be pulling a wheelchair. This is federal law (ADA).

Oh no, not the ADA again. Let's hope the Enrichment Academy (formerly The Lifelong Learning College) doesn't have to shut down because they are being sued by dog owners for not providing dog beds, cold water, and treats at all classes.

As far as I know, the ADA doesn't specify that dog beds, cold water, and treats need to be provided so I think we are OK. I assume you are fortunate enough not to suffer from a disability that requires you to rely on a service dog?
