Are Pets Allowed In Walmart Canada

We all wish that we could just spend all day with our dogs. Unfortunately life gets in the way and we have to leave our dogs to go to work and run errands. Good news is that more and more stores are becoming pet friendly! Here are a few establishments that will welcome your furbaby with open arms.

Need a nice vase or a new sweater? Your dog may provide some valuable insight on which option to choose.Â

TJX companies inc is the corporation that owns Winners, Homesense and Marshalls. They sell a variety of retail products including clothing, home decor, stationary and even pet products! The staff are also excited to see the shopping doggos and are equipped with treats for the hungry pups.

Bed, Bath and Beyond is a home goods company that sells anything from home decor to cooking supplies and bedding. Your dog will love to walk around with you while you shop for a new frying pan!

Surprisingly there are a number of home improvement stores that accept canine customers. Perhaps dogs make good trades people?

Canadian Tire is a Canadian classic. More than just a home improvement store, they also sell outdoors equipment, vehicle supplies and plants. Your dog will be happy to pick out a new bike for adventures!

Home Depot is a home improvement haven. Obviously a dog’s insight is needed on which light fixture is the right one for your home reno.

Who knows more about plants and trees than the dogs that pee on them? Many garden centres will welcome your doggy friends. Visiting a plant store and supporting local businesses is a great option for those Canadian winters when it’s too cold to go for a walk!

In the past, you would never see dogs in a restaurant. It seems nowadays that more and more restaurants are welcoming dogs onto their outdoor patio. Check out which restaurants in your area have pet friendly patios and enjoy a great meal with your pup. Some restaurants even have a dog menu with canine safe meals!

Probably the least surprising pet friendly stores are pet stores. Spoil your dog with some snacks, toys and a new bed. With the option to bring your dog in the store, they can even choose which ones they want! This is your dogs opportunity to spend all of your hard earned cash.

There are a number of chain pet stores that you can bring your dog into like Petsmart, Petvalue and Petland but also remember to check out the local ones as well!

We do not allow pets in our stores. Are you satisfied with this answer?

What is a service animal?

The next thing that you might be wondering is what exactly is a service animal, and would your dog qualify? The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as:

“A dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.”

As an example, a service dog may be trained to support someone with diabetes. The dog may be trained to alert their owner when their blood sugar reaches too high or too low a level. Someone else with epilepsy may have a service dog that is trained to detect if they’re going to have a seizure. The dog will then help their owner stay safe if a seizure does occur.

Walmart associates may ask if a dog is a service animal when they come into the store. Many service dogs wear a bright vest or harness, although under the ADA, they do not have to do so.

Service dogs who are still being trained will not be covered by the ADA, so they won’t be allowed into Walmart stores.

Can I take my dog into Walmart in a stroller?

Dog strollers are getting more and more popular, and they do remove a few of the reasons that dogs aren’t allowed in stores, like leaving a mess on the floor or their leash getting tangled up.

But your dog in a stroller could still contaminate foodstuffs or trigger allergies in other shoppers. So in this case, the answer is still no!
