You have said that so many times about several issues for you.

How would YOU feel if you were a disabled vet and someone wouldn't let you in because you needed a service dog for medical reasons?

I have asthma, what I would do is carry my emergency inhaler with me, which is what should be done all the time anyway.

A disabled vet has a dog that is an actual SERVICE dog - certified. HuGE difference and you know it.

So, do people who think dogs should be banned from grocery stores have dogs in their homes?

Or are they banned there too?

We've almost always had a dog. (and they've slept on our bed)  I've held 3 of them in my arms when the vet had to put them to sleep.  I mourned their passing despite the fact I knew we did not want them to suffer any longer.

So no, dogs are not banned in our home.

@151949 Neither is starting yet another thread about dogs in public places.

I am probably in the most dog-friendly state and I've yet to see one dog in a grocery store - except for 1 valid service dog at a cafe.

Dogs have no business being grocery carts.  Period.  Unless they are bona fide service animals, they have no business in stores.  Next thing you know you'll find a boa constrictor in the cart at the deli.

Yes, there is.  You have been talking about DOGS, not limited to a certain type.

I would think if someone had an asthma attack with a regular dog, that person would also have an asthma attack with a service dog.

But I doubt that would happen in a grocery store and not a closed or close area.

I just love dogs, it is just me and my three goldens.

Saw one today at the market.......riding in the kiddie seat.   Cute!

I worry more that the help has washed their hands after their breaks than any dog being in a store.
