I have worked at Home Depot for over two years. We welcome well behaved dogs, and even have biscuits for them. We never approach dogs unless the owners give the okay. Being so close to petco I would rather see them come into our store instead of being left in a hot car… Sure there have been accidents on the floor… But it’s a warehouse…. And it can be cleaned with no huge deal. And they are dogs! It happens. Sadly, even with some pee on the floor those visiting dogs act better than some kids that have passed through.

Home depot and lows are no place for pets. All of the stores nation wide have a policy where only recognised service dogs with appropriate tags or vests along with a card carying handler. There are signs posted on the doors warning this. Pet owners feel if it fine for them it has to be fine for me. The problem is the pet owners.

I undersand taking in a little well behaved dog that stays seated in the cart. But today alone, there were two bad instances.

Lowes: I was snotted up by a large great dane (the owner kept saying “It’s OK” when I asked for him to remove the thing from me, so it ended up with me cursing and him cursing right back and the employees having a talk with the guy (who exaggerated in reverse that it wasn’t as big a deal as I made it out). The moron decided to walk his loaded up cart and two danes on leashes down the very narrow garden aisle with trees with me in it. Idiot.

Then at Home Depot an hour later, a guy in a scooter had his little wire hound walking freely. He spoke to an employee who scratched the dog and said nothing to him. It’s a working warehouse, for crying out loud.

You morons, leave your large dogs, loose dogs, and for that matter, you wild children at home. Do not bring them to a working warehouse as a family day. Its’ not Disneyland.

I love dogs. I have dogs. I leave them at home. If I’m out with the dogs and need something at Lowes or HD, I do without until I can come back later.

Idiots.

I say leave your kids at home then. If you can’t handle my behaved dogs, I know I can’t and won’t tolerate your ill-behaved children. I take my dogs everywhere I can and if you don’t like it then walk away. I don’t force them upon you as you should not force your offspring on me. Let’s keep it civilized and leave it at that.

I have been asked to leave Lowes but we are welcomed at the nearby Home Depot. Guess where I shop. I love to take my dogs places. They enjoy it and so do I. Personally I’d rather see dogs in a store than children. What disease will I catch from a dog? The answer is none but look at the options for getting sick from the slime that children leave all around, not to mention the children who seem likely to destroy everything they touch.

Boy I don’t understand what the big deal is. I guess Ed lives a boring routine dull life. I love taking my dog places. All three go camping, fishing, dog parkin’ and YES EVEN ON OCCASION 1 of them MIGHT go into HomeDepot. I’m not insecure, what a dumb generalization, perception, and option. They are companions, not house trophies. Love a little, its easier than judging. Also, just because you get attacked by one dog doesn’t mean all dogs will attack. Some white guy hit me once, doesn’t mean I’m scared of white guys. PEACE OUT

I don’t understand why people who don’t like dogs would even went to this website and even leave a comment?? This website address is dogfriendly.com, if you don’t like pet then get out from this site, it’s for people with pets that need informations. We do respect for others like you who don’t like dogs so that’s why we even bother to find information about which place or store that is pet friendly, got it??!!! And Ed needs to keeps his ‘personal opinion’ to himself, we don’t ask your opinion, the subject is which HD or LW that is pet friendly, can you read or not? You gave your information then that’s it, leave your opinion to yourself, nobody is asking!!

I live in a rural area and necessity has me taking my small, 10 pound, well behaved dog with me when I shop. Today I was informed by Lowes that the “corporate policy” allows all dogs on leashes to come into the store, but small dogs aren’t allowed in the carts. I have always taken my dog with me, on a blanket and not touching the cart. I was told that “some dogs” have jumped out of the cart and created a disturbance. Well, then deal with those owners and ask them to leave. What about all the parents who bring their badly behaved kids into the store and they run around screaming and disturbing me? I spoke with the store manager and she said it was corporate policy to keep dogs out of the carts. It sounds like she doesn’t know the policy either. Lowes needs to educate their employees and deal with individual problems and not punish everyone.

I have a therapy dog with separation anxiety. I have often wanted to stop to pick up an item or two from Lowe’s on my way home a therapy visit. I can’t leave the dog in the car (and wouldn’t want to under any circumstance). I have never done it because I have never seen a dog in our local Lowes store. With the price of gas being so high, I would like to combine trips. I am going to make the stop today and see what happens.

After going to Lowes in Rome NY for nearly 5months all while my dog was a puupy I was approached and asked to leave. The girl was rude and didn’t understand what I was reacting. I want home called all the surround Lowes within40 mi. All allowed pets……hum….weird if Lowes is pet friendly all Lowes not selected ones should follow this policy. This store is in my hometown. And spend slot of money here family as I have my own business. If my dog is not welcome. At the store where I live I will take my business elsewhere..
