These Major Chains are Dog-Friendly

When you get a dog, it becomes part of your family and you want to treat them like a part of your family. Next time you go out on the town with your family, bring Fido along and stop by some of these dog-friendly stores along the way.

Petco

Starting off with the most obvious store first, Petco is an extremely pet-friendly store. Your pooch will think they are in doggy heaven when you walk through the doors of the store and they take in all the sights and sounds of this puppy wonderland. Fido may even get a treat in the check-out line.

Tractor Supply Co. 

This national chain has a long history of welcoming dogs through its doors. Their best customer is actually a cute Golden Retriever named Maddie Belle who loves to pay a visit to her local Tractor Supply Co. They even have her picture up on their website.

Nordstrom

This one may surprise some people but Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack would love to welcome your well-behaved dog on a leash. There is even an Instagram hashtag! Search up #DogsOfNordstrom if you want to see pics of cute pups out shopping.

The Apple Store

The Apple Store would love to welcome your pooch to their store if they are well-behaved and on a leash! However, you may need to check the individual policy for your local store as many stores that are located in shopping malls may not allow dogs.

Bass Pro Shops

It only makes sense that the store that sells all things outdoors would welcome your pooch through their doors. Not only do they welcome pets, but they even encourage people to bring their dogs with them! Each year they have a special “Dog Days” event that gets two paws up from all of its guests.

Pottery Barn

Another one that may surprise some people, Pottery Barn loves it when you bring your pooch to shop with you! If you are looking to get Fido a new dog bowl or bed, bring him into the store and let him try it out for himself!

Barnes & Noble

For the book-loving dog owners out there, you can rejoice knowing next time you take a trip to your local Barnes & Noble, you can bring your four-legged friend with you!

Policies do vary based on location as many B&N stores are located within shopping malls or have cafes inside them that dogs are not allowed in. Call ahead to check on the policy of the store closest to you.

Restoration Hardware

If you are looking for the comfiest couch you can find, let your pooch tag along to see if it meets their requirements by bringing them with you to your next Restoration Hardware trip. Policies can vary by location so call ahead to be sure Fido can come with you.

Taking Fido shopping with you the next time you head to the shops will be sure to increase the fun factor! Where is your pup’s favorite place to go?
