Keep the pup out of the produce aisle … Americans love their pets, but maybe not everywhere. According to a new Talker Research survey, restaurants top the list of places people don't want to see dogs, with nearly half saying they'd be annoyed by a pet while they're eating. Grocery stores, doctor's offices, coffee shops, workplaces, and even airplanes also made the "leave the dog at home" list. Older Americans were generally less tolerant of pets in public than younger generations.
According to the survey, these are the Top 10 Places You Shouldn’t Bring Your Pet:
Restaurants — 48%
Grocery stores — 45%
Doctor offices/hospitals — 39%
Coffee shops — 32%
Workplaces/office spaces — 29%
Airplanes — 27%
Arenas/stadiums — 26%
Public transit — 22%
Hotels — 18%
Public beaches — 18%
