I have noticed a lot of small dogs in shopping carts in area stores such as Walmart, Harris Teeter and Big Lots. These are not service animals but expensive pets that people take shopping with them. One manager said he would rather allow the pet than turn away a customer yet other customers in line were clearly upset. I work at a Walmart store and what I see pet dogs do there I don t shop at that store, I go to another Walmart in a different neighborhood. Look at the ADA at www.ada.gov and it will tell you there. Bottom line, it s the people with pet dogs to not bring there dogs into stores where there is food. Service Dog not allowed in Walmart Discussion in 'Other Pets & Animals' started by jen, Feb 14, 2007.
I have put my emotional support dogs in the shopping cart at the Walmart in Manor,Tx for many months now and all of sudden I can't because of to many complaints and now there is a sign stating no dog in the shopping cart. I think this unfair, what about the people that leave poopy diapers in cart is anybody complaining about this. So if people want to complain about being unsanitary and disrespectful to other shopper than complain about something as nasty as that. Does this mean I can no longer bring to shop, and service dogs either. Just for everyones information, here is the definition of service animal copy and pasted directly from the ADA web site: Specifically notice the last sentence which excludes therapy, emotional support and others.
Service Animals Often businesses such as stores, restaurants, hotels, or theaters have policies that can exclude people with disabilities. For example, a 'no pets' policy may result in staff excluding people with disabilities who use dogs as service animals. A clear policy permitting service animals can help ensure that staff are aware of their obligation to allow access to customers using service animals. Under the ADA's revised regulations, the definition of 'service animal' is limited to a dog that is 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.

For example, many people who are blind or have low vision use dogs to guide and assist them with orientation. Many individuals who are deaf use dogs to alert them to sounds. People with mobility disabilities often use dogs to pull their wheelchairs or retrieve items.
People with epilepsy may use a dog to warn them of an imminent seizure, and individuals with psychiatric disabilities may use a dog to remind them to take medication. Service members returning from war with new disabilities are increasingly using service animals to assist them with activities of daily living as they reenter civilian life. Under the ADA, 'comfort,' 'therapy,' or 'emotional support animals' do not meet the definition of a service animal. Sorry to break it to you,but no one wants to use a shopping cart that your animal is riding in.Say what you will about how good your dog is in public,or how clean you keep him,it’s still an animal and there are health and sanitation codes regarding it. No one here,I’m sure,hates dogs as a whole,not even the store manager who told you it wasn’t okay to keep putting your animals in the cart anymore.The fact is, as many here have stated,that your dogs are not service animals.Even if you feel you need to have what is now termed an “Emotional Support” animal,it doesn’t qualify under the same guidelines as seeing eye dog,or those trained to alert their owners of serious medical conditions.
Are Dogs Allowed In Walmart 2017
The problem here lies in the entitled attitude that has been allowed to develop ever since Emotional Support animals became a thing.Now you think you should be able to bring your dog with you wherever you go no matter what.You think everyone around you should treat you differently,regardless of whether you are feeding your dog AT the table of a restaurant or bar where others are sitting,or shopping in department stores like Walmart touching merchandise between cuddles and licks from your furry friend. If you feel you have to have an animal around you at all times to cope with life,that’s your thing,good for YOU.Just don’t expect society at large to be part of your therapy by being ok with inconsiderate and unsanitary behavior. And that comment about the diapers in a cart just sounds like a scenario you made up to prove some point that doesn’t exist outside of you being told, “No.”. ESA's DO NOT have public access And the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT says no service dogs in a cart. Learn the laws, and stop breaking them. An ESA is not task trained leave it home.
