It’s been fun to discover the growing number of businesses that now allow pets in their stores. Keep this list in mind on days when you might have a lot of errands to run and don’t want your fur baby to be alone all day or for rainy days where you both get a little stir crazy inside and need a place to stretch your legs and get some activity in. Be sure to save my list of Greensboro pet-friendly businesses if you’re going to be in the area!
Note: These are all businesses that we have brought our dog in, but some locations may have different policies so it’s always a good idea to call before going to confirm that they allow pets in store.
- Academy Sports & Outdoors
- DICK’S Sporting Goods
- Field & Stream (they also give out dog treats at the entrance sometimes)
- Hobby Lobby
- Lowe’s Home Improvement
- Home Depot
- Petco
- PetSmart
- Bass Pro Shops
- Cabela’s
- Tractor Supply Co
- Walmart (when you use free grocery pick-up option)
A few others I have heard/read are pet-friendly in certain locations but have not personally verified yet:
- Macy’s
- TJ Maxx
- Sephora
- Marshall’s
- Old Navy
- Nordstrom
- Gander Outdoors
- Ross
- Michael’s
- Bed, Bath & Beyond
- Pottery Barn
- Barnes & Noble
Also, as a general rule, most breweries allow dogs, so that’s always a great option when you want to bring your furry companion along for some socializing.
I always try to take photos of outdoor seating options to add to my Google reviews so that other pet owners will know what options are available.
Thanks for reading! Do you have a favorite pet-friendly business? Please share it in the comments so I can add it to my list.
