Walmart - Dogs in Store
All,
Don’t take this the wrong way. I am a dog lover “but however” time and time again I’m beginning to see dogs entering into the local Wal-mart stores around the globe and they are not “Working Dogs” or “Service Dogs”. This has to stop, Saturday night August 16, 2014 at the Hinesville, GA location around 1130 p.m. four gentlemen walk into this location with a Bull Dog and no one approached them. I thought this was the purpose of having a greeter at each door to prevent things of this nature from occurring.
I’m not sure if anyone paying close attention to the small details that need to be taken at these stores anymore, but this really need some attention.
Location: Hinesville, Georgia

I live in Lexington Tennessee and shop the Wal Mart several times a week. I have seen dogs being brought in every time I shop!
They are PETS not Service aniamils!!!!! If there were another place to shop, I would stop going there. The employees know they are bringing them in there and ignore it.
*** people working there. So much for cleaniness.
Get over yourself and realize the world is changing
Agree
Have you stupid people even thought about if a dog attacks another dog or cat? Who's going to clean that up?
Who's to blame then? You people are idiots. Leave the PETS at home.
Service animals, that have been trained and help their owners, that's fine, they are performing a service. Pets do not.
This is part of the problem with people now days, everyone is in their feelings about everything. Just because animals are cute, doesn't mean they need to go everywhere with you, ESPECIALLY AROUND FOOD.
There are people that don't clean themselves, neverless their pets. Also, about the children comment, yes there are some unclean children out there too, I am not denying that fact, BUT the children are HUMAN and aren't chewing up everything, pissing/pooping in the floors or carts, and are not a risk of attacking (i.e. biting) someone. Some people don't understand boundaries.
They have pet stores and animal parks and places you can take your pets, NOT EVERYWHERE ELSE. I have had pets in the past, so I am not against pet ownership, but c'mon people, be reasonable here. You really think animals will be well behaved around all those people AND FOOD? It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
You also don't know if that animal has a had all if its proper shots or if they've had a flea bath and been bathed properly. You also don't know if that animal is kept strictly indoors or outdoors at home. So, be smart and respectful of others, just because YOU like it, doesn't mean EVERYONE does. You already know people aren't going to follow the rules or guidelines.
If you want to let your animal kiss you in the mouth and sleep in your bed, fine, but not everyone likes that. Keep your pets to yourself.
I agree I'm tired of seeing people bring their dogs in stores. They act like they can't survive without them.
How were they surviving all of this time? To me, it's so nasty and they have their dogs over near the Bakery section shaking their backsides with lord knows what and panting all over the foods. Climbing their dirty paws on shelves and if they're bulldogs, slobberings all over the place.
This is so nasty to me. And if you can't go into a store without a pet, that is what curbside is for or order online, stop being so unhygienic.
June 1 2019 the senior Vice President of Wall Mart Richard B. Walton changed the policy for the entire company's 11,527 stores. The change allows peats in ALL of the locations as of June1 2019.
All dogs should be allowed to go into stores with there owners. I thanl Walmart for making all there stores pet friendly
My understanding is that Walmart has changed their policy and now allows dogs in all locations.
YOU ARE AN *** PERIOD
I’ve seen way dirtier humans in Walmart.
That was pigpen and charlie brown..
I LOVE SEEING DOGS IN THE STORE WHENEVER I GO SHOPPING. USUALLY IT'S ONE OF THE ADORABLE SMALL DOGS THAT SOMEONE IS HOLDING IN THEIR ARMS.
You’re part of the problem
I also love my pets. However I do not put them in a shopping cart where others will put their food.
I was in the Wal-Mart pharmacy after leaving the ER and a woman let her dog off leash. Most pets are ok with small children, but do we blindly trust them?
Come on folks, leave your pets home. I'm betting they even relish the quiet time away from you
Sure you are a dog lover...
Seriously..people don’t want dogs in walmart because they “have germs “. My god have you seen the people that shop there?
Exactly.
I agree with you 100% things are out of control. I watched a cashier today at Walmart pet and kiss a dog of a customer and then proceeded to handle the next customer in the line items such as produce which I find very disgusting. Walmart needs to enforce their policy on pets now.
Absolutely!! It has gotten truly disgusting to see pets riding in carts and seats of carts....
