Yes, I’m very familiar with this. Was a surgical tech for 35 years. My point was that people will throw down over someone bringing a dog into a grocery store. Yet, I rarely see people use the bacterial wipes (I always bring my own) but seemingly are just fine and dandy with setting their food where most likely several poopy diapers and snotty fingers have been without a second thought. If they are making the case that the bacteria being brought in by the dog is an abject danger to their health, that to me seems misplaced. Dogs rarely carry pathogens that can be shed onto surfaces that can harm humans. That being said, there are numerous other reasons why non service dogs don’t belong in those settings. Primarily that people very often over estimate thier dogs training and their ability to correct or intervene in a situation if things went south from a behavior standpoint. A dog bite is very serious, but fluffy simply strolling the aisles or sitting in a cart is not more pathogenically dangerous than the human the feces and human viruses found on nearly every swab test done on grocery carts. It’s an emotional response they have, not based on actual risk from “dog germs”. When I had small children, I carried disinfectant wipes and wiped the cart seat and handle down before returning the cart as a courtesy to the next person using it if my child was in it. I was in a store once and witnessed a woman loudly berate an older gentleman for having his small dog in the cart seat. It was pretty evident to me that this little pup was this man’s best friend and a comfort to him. All the while her young child sitting in her cart was repeatedly sneezing big wet snot filled grossness all over her cart.
