Dogs will always be a partner to humanity. But for some people in need, a dog can also be a caregiver.

People experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, and more can benefit from a trained psychiatric service animal.

You can bring your dog to many places: the park, amusement parks, and even some restaurants. But the question of whether or not you can bring your pet inside retail stores is hard to answer.

Costco is a wonderland: free samples, gigantic boxes of your favorite treats at shockingly low prices, and delicious baked goods, to name a few. Of course, this wonderland is accessible to members only, ensuring customer loyalty and regular visits.

Sometimes, it's necessary to bring your dog along while shopping. It can be especially true if you have an emotional support animal and need your canine with you to manage issues such as social anxiety.

Not all stores are welcoming to animals, but Lowes has a reputation for being pet-friendly. As a home improvement business, this is a suitable and uncontroversial location for taking a dog compared to a fashion store or luxury good emporium.
