***Please be courteous and respectful. Although the store may be dog friendly, some of it's shoppers may not be. Keep your dog on a leash and under control at all times. And if your dog goes to the bathroom, clean it up.***
I'd love to add more stores to this list. So let me know, where do you shop with your dogs? Likewise, if you come across a business from this list that is no longer dog friendly, let me know so I can remove it.
And in case you'd prefer the list alphabetically rather than by region:
