For pet friendly businesses, it is best to call ahead to find out what their policies are. Many times the dog friendly policies are established with the management of a particular business. For example the Lowes store in Lees Summit will not mind if you bring your dog, while a Lowes in another location may not be favorable. So it is a good idea to call ahead.

There are dog friendly shopping areas that generally are favorable towards dogs with some individual stores within that shopping area that have different policies. Shopping areas such as the Zona Rosa area in Kansas City, the shops at Town Center Plaza in Leawood and the Country Club Plaza in downtown Kansas City are all generally dog friendly shopping areas.

The Country Club Plaza can be particularly noted for a dog friendly shopping area. Both you and your dog will love hanging out in this dog friendly shopping area. On the Country Club Plaza, many businesses set out water bowls in the summer for your dog’s convenience; a friendly gesture indeed. And many of the stores on the Country Club Plaza will let you bring your pooch inside.

Below is a list of businesses that generally have dog friendly shopping policies in Kansas City. You may come across some with differing policies due to the management of a particular location, so it is advised to check with management ahead of time. And always keep your dog on a leash when shopping in dog friendly stores.

Of course you should be in control of your dog at all times if you are enjoying public places together. Aggressive dogs or dogs whose behavior is unpredictable should not be chosen to bring along on public excursions. You do not want to be the cause of harm to people, other pets, or property because of your dog’s actions. It is also expected that your dog be on a leash even with dog friendly accommodations.

It is expected that your dog will be house trained for understandable reasons. Also when a dog barks way too much, they should be removed from public outings until they are trained. It is also best if your dog will sit and lay down on command. Dog training is not done just because you love them; it is done so that others will love them also.

If nature calls for your pet while out in public, you need to be polite and take care of the mess (and don’t allow a mess to happen while indoors); a small price to pay for having Fido along with you.

Go on and get out more with your dog. There are plenty of local pet friendly restaurants and pet friendly businesses to enjoy together.
