Target - Ambiguous pet policy
143 comments
Despite slick adverstising, I've decided Target sucks. Told at check-out that no dogs are allowed in store (dog in carrier, weighs 6 pounds).
I understand that stores with so called eating establishments don't allow dogs due to health laws? Give it a break. A dog in a carrier does not pose a health threat. Ignorance is sad.
Dogs go everywhere in Europe, I am obviously living in the backwoods. Perhaps one of the 5 sales assistants I passed on the way to check-out could have spread the word? I've spent my last dollar at Target.
I can easily do without their services.

Fuching dogs donโt belong in retail establishments
Yes so I avoided Target and order from Amazon instead ..(lots of stuff way cheaper any way) ... Best of luck Target!
I brought my cat to target today, cause I needed to get his prescription after a vet visit and I didnโt want to leave him in a hot car. Everyone at target thought it was hilarious there was a cat in my cart (in a carrier obvi)
Ignorance is bliss. Bringing your untrained dog, whether in a carrier or not, is a threat to anyone who's life depends on the integrity of a working dog. You are not entitled to bring your pet everywhere, and it is completely unnecessary.
Not all dogs are bad .. stop being bitter !
You can't go anywhere without dogs anymore. I myself have a phobia to dogs due to a childhood experience.
In the State of Kansas where we live, the local news reported Killer Virus found in dogs with ticks. This is unacceptable. I was shopping in Target in Overland Park Kansas where a women had here dog in the shopping cart, no one said anything to this women for having her dog in the shopping cart where you would sit a child. I had just saw on the news a Healthy man had gotten bit by ticks before he got sick and died from the tick bite.
These are the same Virus that are being reported on Dogs. So long Target and any other store that allow these animals where I buy my Groceries.
Itโs the law lady. Wtf. Iโm sure Target can easily do without your business.
Yes!
What law?
What law do you speak of. There is none. Stores can prohibit pets from entering their establishment, but target has no policy against that on their store policies
Yes they do. Only service animals are allowed. Itโs on every entrance...
Health codes do not allow for people to bring pets in stores.
Well I just ran, almost literally to a girl carrying a snake in her arms at Target. Snakes behind glass in a zoo are fine, but not shopping in the same aisle as I am in.
If you don't like snakes, why did you run to the girl?
You are right. I totally Agree.
I also do not understand why service dog is different than otehr dogs. If policy says no dogs that means no wven service dog.
Do not undestand why many stores do not allow small dogs at least in stroller or carrier.
If dog is hypoalergic, non shedding And well behavied I really do not see the reason to not allow dogs bring with you. Hope they will soon change a rules.
I don't see the reason either I have a small hypoallergenic puppy who is well behaved never barks and loves people. She goes to Walmart with me!
They have never said a thing to me! It's ridiculous how stuck up people complain about them like if they aren't bothering you don't bother them.
It doesnโt matter if your dog is hypoallergenic and well-behaved or not, sheโs a pet that cannot go into no-pet establishments. I do not want pets in no-pet places because they cause a distraction and even a threat to my service dog that has trained all her life to be with me.
I hope you understand why nets shouldnโt go everywhere like service animals. Have a good day/night
Do u only exist in non pet establishments? If your service dog is trained it shouldn't be distracted by other dogs.
So do u only shop at Target and not go to pet smart Petco Marshalls Nordstrom or any other place that allows pets? Like outside even?
Hypoallergenic only refers to the hair/fur! If you have a sander/ saliva allergy it causes serious issues.
