@Noel7 You have absolutely no idea at all what someone else's allergies are or how severely they may react to exposure to an allergen or how much of that allergen is required to make a reaction.

What about people who own dogs or cats that shed profusely? Their clothing can be covered in pet hair and dander.

What? Did you see me at the supermarket, wearing my black pants with the white cat hairs clinging to the lower portions of both legs?!

And as you can see by my avatar, my cat is multicolored, so when I wear light colored pants....his dark hair is clearly visible. I need to remind him to stop rubbing against my lower legs all the time.

there are unappetizing humans to!!! I worry more about a human..Not fond of dogs?? Heartless I say..Own one and see just how special they are!!!!!!! shame that you were not taught to love all animals..

I love aminals. I don't want them in grocery stores where it is nasty and the aisles are narrow and you'd have to trip over and push your cart around dogs that have NO business being in a grocery store if they aren't real service dogs.

They don't need to be in those big box stores either where people are trying to drag lumber around or in dept stores in dressing rooms. How good for the dog is ANY of that? If you care about the dog leave it at home where it is happy and safe. It doesn't want to shop. . . and dodge people and grocery carts and be stepped on and have cans fall off the shelf on it. Keep your dog safe and happy. Isn't that real love for the dog?

Old people are there, little kids, crippled people, and others and dogs present a REAL hazard for tripping and biting. Sorry, but that's reality.

And here I thought I'd made it clear that I was quoting research and medical opinion from the ADA, not my own.

Also, after years of reading your posts, I have found your medical knowledge to be less than up-to-date.

Think this through: We all travel through areas where dogs have been. If someone with an allergy hasn't had serious issues doing that prior to this moment in time, the odds are that person is not going to have trouble in the grocery store.

As I suggested before, being asthmatic as I am, carry an emergency inhaler in case one comes across a woman wearing too much perfume, a classic cause of an asthma reaction which is why allergists tell us all not to wear perfume in a medical setting.

Instead of SYH, you might want to read the report from the ADA MDs.

You may be the first person to sue the Federal govt about this, then, since you feel so strongly about it - go you.

The ADA material that @Noel7 quotes was also quoted, and read, by me and others. I posted links. The physicians the ADA consulted stated that it was highly unlikely that an allergic person would come to harm from being in the same general space as a dog in a supermarket. Aisles are usually wide.

It was stated that unless a person touches/pets a dog or sticks their face in the dog's coat, no meaningful reaction is likely to occur, and THEREFORE, the ADA's decision, which supercedes and overrides any state or other Federal regulations regarding animals and food, is that *service animals will be allowed in supermarkets, period.

Also, as has been stated multiple times previously in the thread, business owners cannot request "proof" that an animal is a service dog, because there IS no "proof" recognized legally. All they can do is ask the owner if the animal is a service dog. If the owner says yes, there is no "proove it then." End of story.

A store owner/manager is SO protected by the ADA that they don't need to worry about lawsuits from individual allergy sufferers. You'd have to sue the Federal govt - if you could find a lawyer to take the case.

It goes without saying that in order to contemplate consulting an attorney, you would have had to have had a whopper of an allergy attack in the store, with a dog nearby, paramedics and ER, etc, fully independently documented.
