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?

Rather have a nice dog in a store or in cart seat, than a kid with a leaking dirty diaper that had been in my grocery cart, or a kid running through the grocery isles opening and tasting the foods or licking the ice creams.
BTW. Lowes is not a food establishment.

Well trained dogs are wonderful. It\f a dog is well behaved in the restaurant fine, grocery not so much. Just not sanitary. If a dog wets in any of the questioned environments they are not well trained dogs. So NO

Also, dogs belong on the floor, well trained dogs are on the floor at all times, not in the cart and not at a chair at the table. Dogs on the floor.

that would be a well trained dog.

Agree that well trained dogs are wonderful. Problem is that you, as a patron just beginning your wonderful and expensive anniversary meal don't know when the dog comes in to the room if it is well trained. For many, their special meal was just ruined as surely as if an old out of shape nudist with leaky plumbing walked in the door. Sorry about the graphic imagery, but to many the sight of a dog in stores, grocery, restaurants is that level of grossness. Do everyone a favor, including the dog, and leave it home.

Could have been a leaky Mountain Dew bottle in the cart. Did they have sodas in the cart?

I, too, love dogs but I have a few “pet” peeves…they should not be in grocery store carts where food is placed. I also don’t understand why people take dogs on long leashes to outdoor events where there are wall-to-wall people. Dangerous situation.

I said it before and I say it 1000 times more. IMO NO and I mean NO pets allowed in stores other than seeing eye dogs and pet stores. And no you dog don’t need to go with shopping at lowes or Home Depot. Yes I have dog and never ������ take my dog shopping. The only business she goes to veterinary appointment.

Can someone provide the local government exemption to FL Statute 509.233 Public food service establishment requirements; local exemption for dogs in designated outdoor portions.—
If there is no exemption then dogs that are not trained service dogs cannot enter businesses.

I've never seen a dog in a grocery store. Lowe's and Home Depot? Yes, more than a few times, with zero issues...

Yes, I have opinion of this opinion.

[Topspinmo]

I have opinion, the only service dog allowed in any business other than vets or dog store are true service dogs for the blind.
