Is Five Below Dog Friendly? Are Dogs Allowed In?
If the question, “are dogs allowed in five below?” has ever crossed your mind, the answer can depend on who owns the store, but the short answer is likely going to be no.
Some stores will post their pet policy on the door of their store, but if you don’t see one, be sure to ask the manager about their pet policy.
As Ajay Khakat commented on Quora, “Generally, dogs are not allowed in Five Below. But you should ask your local Five Below store if dogs are permitted as there were cases when visitors were allowed to enter with their dogs. Service dogs, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, are permitted to accompany visitors with disabilities in Five Below.”
The answer will also depend on whether you have a support dog or a service dog. Support and service animals are not one and the same.
According to a post on Indeed.com, “Only task trained service animals who help those with mental or physical disabilities. Not emotional support animals or pets.”
So the question we have is whether or not Five Below is a dog friendly store or one that says no to the pup. After doing some digging we have an answer.
When it comes to running errands or enjoying a day of shopping, there is something special about being able to bring our dog along for the ride. And while we already know that there are a lot of stores that are not dog friendly, unless your dog is a service animal of course, there are actually a surprising number of stores that will in fact let you bring your pup with you.
The best way to figure out if your furry friend is allowed in the Five Below with you is to check their pet policy, which will likely be posted somewhere near the door of the store. And even if you don’t see it posted, we highly recommend asking the store manager for clarification about their pet policy and if your furry friend can join you on your shopping trip.
Recently we talked about how Five Below offers a variety of pet supplies to help us spoil our furry friends. But what about actually shopping in store with them?
