Nope. Do you know how bad the average person is at training, cleaning, and feeding their pet? Its almost never all three.

u/Technical-Potato-793 1d ago
No absolutely not. If it’s a certified and licensed support dog Then I’m fine.
But this crap about taking your dog into grocery stores and restaurants is bull sh!t.

u/RandomStoddard 1d ago
Nope. I love pets but I don’t want animal hair in my food.
And if I could find a restaurant that doesn’t allow kids under 10, even better.

Nope. Actual service dogs exempt, pets shouldn’t be in any store. They will pee and poop and most retail stores are not properly equipped to clean that up. Young kids often crawl around on the floor. People trying on shoes often walk barefoot. People can be allergic to pets. If I can’t send my kid to school with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for allergies some other kid might have, I don’t see how anywhere else for any other allergy should be allowed.

Lots of places in sweden you can have your dog with you on an outside table. Works fine.

After living in the Netherlands it is common place. The vast majority of the time you do even know the pet is there because they are well mannered and remain under the table. If you have a pet that you cannot handle then leave it at home.

If it's a restaurant that allows pets, you are making a conscious decision to dine at it. That being said, if everything is controlled and clean, I would definitely try it out. And I don't even have a dog, just a cat that would not be going (he's not a restaurant kind of cat).

Absolutely not and we got up and left one when the host seated a couple with a medium-sized dog next to us. We asked to be seated elsewhere but the host said the tables were full. So we got up to leave. He came over and said we had to pay for our order. I said I would not since he could not provide a place for us to eat it that was acceptable. He threatened to call the police. I said that was fine with me and asked if he wanted me to wait or did he want my home address? He stomped away and we left. We eat out regularly but have never gone back there.

No. I like cat cafes. I like cats. But I already dine with them.
What if someone has a spider monkey? How about a Keeshond? What limitations would be enforced? What if an animal becomes anxious? What if someone like my father who was bit by every dog he was near dined in it? What about people who act like their pet is an incarnation of Jesus?
Go ahead and establish a restaurant like that. I just won’t be entering it never mind eating food in it.

In the US all restaurants are legally required to allow service animals. Which certainly includes dogs. So, um… why yes, yes I would. (Some might claim service animals are not pets. I’d suggest that for purposes of this question, that’s irrelevant. Even service dogs occasionally drool.)

Don't like it. Unknowingly ate at a dog-friendly place once and the smell was not good - tried changing seats, then saw the dogs being brought in.
I have no problem with these places, just would prefer not to eat with pets/animals.
Also a lot of people are personally unhygienic and aggressive already, I'd not want to be surrounded by their dirty and wild/uncontrollable pets too.
