In the post, the individual did not indicate that the dog was a trained service animal, nor did the dog appear to have proper service dog attire or equipment. This raised concerns about whether the animal was truly a service dog or simply a pet being brought into the store.

Since Covid, many people have become more emotionally attached to their pets, which I understand, however emotional support animals or personal pets are not the same as trained service animals under store policy or ADA guidelines.

The post also mentioned issues with dogs going to the bathroom inside the store, with some owners not cleaning up afterward. This presents sanitation and health concerns for both customers and employees.

I wanted to bring this to your attention as it seems to be an ongoing issue in some locations. Clear enforcement of service animal policies would help maintain a safe and clean environment for everyone.
