Stores That Let Your Pup Shop With You
****If any of these stores are within a mall, it is best to call the mall before you go, as many may need to follow mall policy!****
Abercrombie ~ well-behaved doggies only!
Ann Taylor ~ well behaved-doggies only!
Anthropologie ~ Super pet-friendly!
Apple Store ~ The store itself is pet-friendly, but if it is inside a mall, it may not be! They request dogs be leashed and if there is a lot of foot traffic, they will ask you to pick up your dog (not easy with a big pup)
Banana Republic ~ well-behaved doggies only!
Barnes & Noble ~ Whether or not they are pet-friendly is largely determined by the stores around them. If they have stores close to them that are, they generally are. Always a good idea to call ahead for your location!
Bass Pro Shop ~ SUPER pet-friendly. They encourage customers to bring in their pups for training and socialization!
Bath & Body Works ~ Pups like to sniff everything, so what better place to take them!!

Foot Locker ~ They are super pet-friendly! They allow dogs of all sizes !!
Half-Price Books ~ well-behaved pups only !
Hobby Lobby ~ Just watch the tails in the decor department !!
Home Depot ~ While most are dog-friendly, you might want to call ahead. Most who are will have dog treats at the registers for cashiers to hand out!
Lowe’s ~ Their “official policy” states service dogs only, but I’ve never been to one that wasn’t 100% pet-friendly!
Lumber Liquidators ~ They usually have signs hanging in the front window if they are pet-friendly! No treats mentioned, but you never know what each location does !

Nordstrom ~ They welcome leashed, well behaved pups! You can even use the hashtag #dogsofnordstrom to show off your pup in the store!
Old Navy ~ Plenty of space for your pup to walk through!!
PetCo ~ Clearly pet-friendly, but pups need to be leashed and on their best behavior! They don’t always have treats at the register, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!
PetSmart ~ Another one that is clearly pet-friendly, just make sure they are on a leash, and on their best behavior! It’s like a buffet in the treat aisle, very tempting, but not free!
Pottery Barn ~ This place is pet-friendly, but keep in mind that your pups tail might cost you more at the checkout!
