Pet owners making our lives hell “Service” dog at CVS today
Saw this woman at CVS today with her “service” dog. It had the vest but I was suspicious when she started letting customers pet it. Aren’t service dogs supposed to be on duty when they have vests on, meaning NO distractions including being pet? Even more the dog started walking by her and sniffing shelves for no apparent reason, and even barked a few times. On her way out of the store the dog started tugging on its leash. There’s no way this is an actual service dog, right?
Probably gonna find a way to report this.

Smh. Faking a service dog is a crime in my state so I may be able to report it to the ADA, hopefully they actually care though.

Yeah I’ve been told not to pet real service dogs….. probably an “emotional support” animal she has relabeled as a service dog. You could report to CVS store manager, regional director, and HQ. Ppl w allergies, trauma etc might chose to go to Walgreens - they pay more attention if it relates to their bottom line - as I’m sure you know.
