A dog is not a person.
You don't need take your dog inside a store

I'd rather see dogs in stores than babies or toddlers

If your Home Depot is like mine, any dog you may bring into the store is probably smarter than any of the folks working there.




But I have yet to see an employee pee on the floor on the irrigation aisle.


You're shopping at the wrong Home Depot.

The dog stuff has gotten way out of hand. I dated a girl who had to take her 3 dogs everywhere. It was annoying as hell. I just want to run to Home Depot, I don't feel like loading up all the dogs, bringing their **** bags, getting hair all over the car, etc.

Now I'm married and my sister in law who's in her mid 20s living in Dallas bought a goldendodle or whatever it's called and so the rest of the family is constantly being inconvenienced with that thing. It's a good dog and everything, and it's not a big enough deal to make a stand on, but it's annoying to me having that dog in my house every time she comes down to visit. It makes the house smell.

I ate at a bbq place the other day and a girl brought her dog. When she got her food, she took the tray it came on, filled it with water and let the dog drink off the tray. Gross.

And don't compare your dog to a child. That's ridiculous.


We have a no pets in our house policy. Our dogs are outside dogs. If you come to visit, your dogs will be outside dogs too for the duration of your stay. Or you could pay to board them somewhere else.
This is just as bad (IMO) as taking your dog everywhere. Why even have a dog if it stays outside the whole time? It's not a ****ing cat.

In these situations the pet owner will go outside and play with the dog.

There was a time where people said "a dog needs a big yard to run around and play and be a dog in!!"

Somehow, over the years, a person keeping a dog in an apparent is now considered the more humane owner over someone with a 5 acre lot where the dogs stay outside.

Our cats never go outside.

And I don't need to take them to Home Depot or Target

It's different if you've got some land, but if you're in a suburb, I really don't understand the point of having a dog and making it stay outside 24/7. We've got a plenty big backyard for both of my dogs to play whenever they want. After finding my childhood dog (that my parents kept outside when we weren't home) dead from heat exhaustion after school one day, I will never force my dog to stay outside.

Did the dog have plenty of shade and water? That's awful, I'm sorry that happened

I live on over 5 acres. My dogs have a 8 x 10 "dog house" with heat lamps and fans. They also have full access to a pond and multiple shade areas with an auto water bowl.

But tell me again how keeping my 2 100+lb working dogs outside is the worst thing I could do as a pet owner.


Edit- dang it kept trying to type 8 x 10 and it kept multiplying it instead of how i wrote it

If your dog or miniature horse is not trained to provide a service, it is not a service animal and should remain outside of businesses.

Hint: providing emotional support is NOT a service.

Never once said it's the worst thing an owner could do. Even clarified it's different if you live on land and not in the suburbs. We've got different views and that's okay, not everything is a personal attack.

Your post directed at me WAS a personal attack. You literally said its worse than people who bring their dogs in stores, and why have a pet anyways. You passed judgement on me without knowing a damn thing about me or my family's living situation.

It wasnt until after another poster pointed out that some people have land that you backtracked your statement.

Actually, I said leaving your dog outside is just as bad as taking in the stores, which, on my first post on the first page, I said I didn't really have a problem with. So that's a pretty weak personal attack by me, I usually try to be hurtful when I do that.

You must live in the US. Never leave because most of the world has a different culture with dogs. In Germany (for example) its common to have dogs in restaurants. They recently passed several laws that are extremely pro-dog. Im not sure how much they enforce the new laws, but one of them is something like "a dog must be walked twice a day"
Dogs are better than people, so I don't mind them being in Lowes or Home Depot when I shop there

Most of the dogs in Home Depot are being trained as service dogs. That is why you hear clickers so frequently. they use Home Depot (with permission) to help the dogs get used to being around strngers and crowds.

Good lord. When you mean most of the world, you mean just the white parts. The rest of the world doesn't give a **** about dogs.

But good for you for making it to a Germany. It's really impressive that you broadened your horizons around other middle class white Christians. You're quite cultured.

I have never spent more than a few hours in Germany. But I do love culture and my homework

Just as a more direct answer to the OP- it is as common as HD and Lowes have allowed it to become. I believe some of their stores have dog treats behind the checkout counters for dogs. This is not typically something you would do/offer to a service dog.

Lately, I am seeing more people with dogs in the grocery store.
Saw one lady had her dog riding in the shopping cart.


Ill be a Karen and tell the store to either have her leave or ill call the health department.
