33 Dog Friendly Stores : See the List!

Dog Friendly Stores

Do you love to bring your dog with you everywhere you go? I do, and often wish I could bring my dog, Jake, into stores and restaurants with me. Maybe it’s just me projecting my own feelings onto the dog, but you know how it is.  That look on their faces that make it seem like you’re about to desert them forever when you have to leave them at home or outside of the store? It’s heart-wrenching, isn’t it?

Well, the good news is that more and more establishments are tweaking their policies to allow people to brings their dogs along after all. Motels and hotels, restaurants, cafe’s and such are hopping on the dog friendly stores train.

I recently came across this list of 33 Dog Friendly Stores that BarkPost published.  I include a quick run-down of the list here, but do check out the full post on BarkPost because they include a link to each store. You’ll probably have to contact the ones you’re interested in bringing your dog to first to make sure that they do, indeed, allow Fido to step in. BarkPost has this to say:

*Note: If your dog is not a service dog, do not bring them into a store that is not dog-friendly. Additionally, many chain stores (including ones on this list) leave it up to the manager to decide whether their individual locations allow dogs or not. The best way to ensure you can bring your pooch inside is to call ahead and find out that specific store’s policy.

The list of chain stores that MAY allow your pooch to shop with you:

  1. Half Price Books
  2. Gander Mountain
  3. Academy
  4. Abercrombie and Fitch
  5. Michaels
  6. Hobby Lobby
  7. Ross
  8. Sephora
  9. Anny Taylor/Ann Taylor Loft
  10. Tiffany & Co.
  11. Bath and Body Works
  12. Hallmark
  13. Lowe’s (perhaps not anymore)
  14. Home Depot
  15. Pottery Barn
  16. Macy’s
  17. Bass Pro Shops
  18. Barnes and Noble
  19. LUSH Cosmetics
  20. Restoration Hardware
  21. Gap
  22. Bloomingdale’s
  23. Urban Outfitters
  24. Anthropologie
  25. Free People
  26. Foot Locker
  27. Bebe
  28. Nordstrom
  29. Old Navy
  30. Saks Fifth Avenue
  31. Tractor Supply Co.
  32. The Apple Store

  1. I love this!! We love to bring Cocoa when we go out but can’t if it’s too hot or too cold since she has to be in the car. If more places would allow them in it would be wonderful!! There are lots I had no idea may allow dogs.

  2. That’s quite a list! But I think the most important thing you touched on is to call ahead and check with the management before going there with your pet. That makes so much sense that I don’t get why so many people don’t do it in the first place.

    • I love going to PetSmart with my dog. I also take Shirley, my Bearded Dragon, whenever I go. She’s a great conversation starter for sure. We get a lot of double-takes. lol Thanks for visiting my blog today, M.K. Come back soon. 🙂
