My DH had notified the board of health about the dogs in the grocery store and they have gotten back to us. They sent agents to the store who did observe the problem and the store has been warned and will be fined. The law (ADA) states that SERVICE DOGS only are allowed in the grocery store and that they are absolutely not allowed in the grocery carts but MUST be on the floor and controlled by a leash of no longer than 6 ft., and a collar around the neck. They MUST be wearing a certified service dog vest.
The grocery store in question is being required to wash down all their grocery carts with disinfectant as well because of allowing the dogs to sit in them. Under no circumstances is it legal for a dog to be in a grocery cart.

Thats good to know....I have always thought it unsanitary for animals of any kind to sit in the carts where we put our food...
Of course some kids are pretty dirty too...and who knows if they have pottied in their pants ...and are sitting in that cart..however they are humans and we can't expect people to leave their children at home....
Lets hope the store you speak of did clean the shopping carts...and are more diligent about pets in the store...hopefully they will put a notice in the window so people know their pets are no longer allowed in to shop...

I think it is very unusual for any agency to get back to you telling you the details of their findings.
I have over the years reported unhealthy conditions and even child abuse.
AlI ever received in return was a letter stating that they investigated the issue. There were no details telling me of their findings or solutions.
This is impossible for me to beleive. Sorry.

Grocery carts are disgusting...period. Doesn't matter who or what's been in them, stores need to clean them! Gross. Wish I didn't have to use them.

I don't think so.
