I can't stand it when I see people toting around pets like a child. Leave the thing at home and shop like a human. Unless your pet intends to swipe their credit card to pay - leave em home!
"thing"???

No - I don't think its appropriate to "tote" around dogs in shopping carts. Shoppings carts are meant to put food inside - and in the front if you choose you can put your child inside it also.

Not appropriate in a shopping cart, even in a non-food store like BRU but carrying a dog under your arm to pop in and get a pack of gum or something is ok by me.

Not appropriate at all, I wish I could tote my 22 lb Pug around but he's too heavy!

Re: Poll-Is it appropriate to "tote" dogs into stores??
I don't think dogs belong in stores unless the store clearly has signs that it welcomes pets. I don't think people should have to be subjected to an allergy or asthma attack b/c someone wants to carry their dog around while they do errands. Even hypoallergenic dogs can cause allergy/asthma attacks.
I've never seen pets brought on planes, but I don't travel by air that often. I'd hate to find out that I'm seated next to someone who brought a cat on the plane (I'm very allergic), but I'd probably just try to switch seats and move as far away as possible. Are only dogs of a certain size allowed to ride in the cabin with the passengers?

Yes. I an not sure if the airline themselves regulate it, or if it is an FAA regulation. I know the *tote* that the dog must be kept in has to fit under the seat during take-off & landing.

As far as doing it as a "fashion accessory" as many have called it...that is the last thing I do it for.
I have to say, I hate when people make a leap and assume that b/c I have a small dog I treat them like they are a *Fashion Accessory* It really bothers me that people assume
BTW, how does Lola do in the stroller? I was pretty set against getting one in the beginning, but the more I get asked to bring my two little ones to people's houses & stuff, the more practical it seems, especially when most times their house/yard is not small-dog friendly.
Exactly why are small dogs viewed as fashion accesories? I don't get it! Paris hilton has nothing to do with me bringing Lola to a store!!!
FRIGGIN PARIS HILTON 
She does good in the stroller. She just lays down in it and watches everyone. I throw a treat in their if I see her getting antsy. I got it originally for when I wanted to go walking around my neighborhood and she coulld'nt keep up lol. But now I leave it in my car and use it all the time.
I think I may be doing some shopping this weekend....are there any parts that she chews, etc? That is one of my biggest concerns. When I first was bringing Pyxie around in her bag, she thought the zippers were tasty

I'm assumming that if the puppy is inside his/her tote that the person will be carrying the tote on their shoulders and not putting them on the shopping cart....But I guess every pet owner is not the same...that I wouldn't agree on....keep the tote on your shoulder...not on the shopping cart....

"Dont hate the player, hate the game"
plain and simple if you have a problem with dogs in stores, talk to the store and try to get them to change their rules rather than complaingin about the people who are actually abiding them. If a store allows pets, then it isnt "rude" of the "idiot" to bring their "thing" with them
Exactly!

I can't stand it when I see idiots bring their tiny dogs and cats on the subway and in the passenger cabins of planes. It's extremely inconsiderate and potentially very dangerous to people with allergies.
sorry, i'm going to have to disagree with you there...(and i AM an allergy sufferer).....
the airlines allow for small pets in passenger cabins - and charge enough damn $$$ for them too....as long as they're in the proper carry-on, i see nothing wrong with it.
I agree with this, but in their own carriers, not loose.

Inappropriate. Dogs don't belong in MOST stores. I just don't see why it's necessary. And this didn't use to be such an issue until Paris Hilton made it the latest "fashion craze". If it's okay for someone to carry around their Yorkie, then it should be okay for me to carry around my 90lb Bull Mastiff - but I guarantee you people would speak up and have a BIG problem with me walking into Walmart or someplace with her. And yes, she has major separation anxiety issues. We deal.
I think comparing dogs (no matter HOW clean) to children (no matter HOW dirty) is ridiculous. Children are human, dogs are animals, period.
As for the other stuff:
Subways - necessary
Airplane cabins - necessary, legal, and regulated
Shopping carts - unacceptable
Carrying your small dog in an appropriate tote, if necessary, NOT as a fashion accessory, fine.
I agree with you girl!!!!I'd love to tote around my 75lb American Bulldog as well so she can eat those little dogs as a snack 
I totally agree with this as well...
I don't have a dog, but if I did I wouldn't it be bringing it to stores except maybe Petco. I don't think any kind of animals belong in any stores unless it is a "helper" animal. Besides the allergy thing, no matter how well trained, you never know how an animal will act in a strange environment. What if some little kid runs up to your dog and scares it or pulls its tail? What if some sort of alarm goes off?
Also here's another thing to consider - unless you have the proper restraints, a dog travelling in a car is very dangerous. What if you got into an accident? Your dog would become a projectile and maybe be ejected from the car or injure someone else in the car.
If the dog is inside the tote...his tail is inside as well. You only probably see their head protuding from the tote...but there are probably bags that will not be like that therefore I'd think that as responsible dog owner, you'd prefer one where only the dog's head is out.....
As far as traveling in a car...it all comes down to being a responsible dog owner. I take my pup to my parent's home on the days that I'm working because I don't want her to be crated for 9 to 10 hours in a crate and I secure the soft crate in the back with the seat belts to avoid her being a projectile in the case of an accident or from the soft tote being move around by her. If I'd be traveling by foot with her, then definitely a smaller hard crate might be a better option. So we really have to assume and hope for the dog's well being that their owner is a responsible dog owner and will take into accountand consider all those things when traveling.

I know jet blue states that dog and carrier must not exceed 20 pounds and carrier needs to be 17 inches x 12 1/2 x 8
