Tractor Supply And Dogs

[Zee09]

Sitting in my car across from TS. Now. Watching all the dogs going in.
Dogs love to shop too.
I don't go to TS. Often so I did not know you could take your pets in.
I like it myself.

Really depends on the owner. Not all are capable of handling pets.

My local TSC accepts all types of Dawgs

Ours has pet services in the back … weekend thing …

TSC, Ace, Home Depot are all OK with dogs here. Both dogs like to go shopping but the blue one likes people but not other dogs and the red one is cautious with strangers of all species. We take them early.

Some people seem to think Walmart is pet friendly as well, they don't even bother with the fake service dog vests. Employees do nothing.

Hey dogs are people too
All the feed stores here do and of course pet stores
The TS I mentioned is in Oxford PA.
Our local nursing home allows pets on the weekends

They just built a new TSC in New Smtrna. Just saw an ad in the paper that they have a dog washing station in the back. We bought our dog a new collar and leash last time we were in. they seem to have a good selection of sizes.

I've been told some/many TSCs actually have a veterinarian that works 1-2 days a week for a few hours and you can get discount shots and similar stuff at TSC vs going to a real vet.

This is the program.

We’ve taken ours to Orscheln, TSC, and Rural King. Didn’t know about Ace and Home Depot.

With Orscheln it worked out great because we didn’t know what size collar to get the puppy. Just carried him in and everybody loved him.

Walmart employees go through training where they are told not to inquire what kind of a service animal a dog is. Be it a service animal for a blind person or a seizure prone person or whatever.

When we were at WM a few weeks ago, a lady had a dog with a service harness. It wouldn’t even walk on the concrete floor, but meh.. it could have been one. Lol

You are undoubtedly correct. Nobody minds a service dog. A chihuahua in the shopping cart or a 50 lb dog on a leash with no obedience training or service vest (real or counterfeit) is a different story.

When we got the red puppy in 2018 the vet was adamant about staying away from unknown dogs until all shots done because of Parvo in the area so our only places to socialize around people were Ace and Home Depot and TSC. Mistake as even now at 2+ she's skittish.

There are a few stores around here. I think the closest is in Napa Valley. That being said, enforcement of any no animals policy is quite lax around here. I'll see people carrying small dogs or even letting them walk on a leash, even if there's a sign out in front.

As for discount shots - a group of vets owns a couple of pet supply stores and have weekend clinics. The costs are extremely low - I understand almost at their own costs. When I got some pet meds years ago, the vet suggested getting the large dog size and then just splitting the pills into quarters because the costs were only slightly more. Also suggested using Advantage with just a half of the tube and then using the other half later. This was just more of a public service, but I believe they had a regular pet hospital somewhere else where they charged higher prices and had more services. All they did at the pet food store was shots and basic exams.

Thats funny! But I am ready to get back to our old normal. This new normal sucks.

My dog could not go in the store she would tear the place down. The only thing that keeps her calm is treats and even then she is wound up LOL.

Back in the day most businesses would not permit any pets to enter. That has changed.
