We adore our furry companions so much that we can't bear to leave them behind when we venture out into the world. Nonetheless, it's critical to confirm that a location is pet-friendly, as always.

If you plan on taking your pet to another person's residence, it's proper etiquette to inquire with the host ahead of time. This not only demonstrates respect for the host's space but also allows them to prepare for your pet's arrival, ensuring a pleasant experience for everyone involved.

Generally, a dog owner shouldn't bring pets into a pharmacy, unless they have a well-trained service dog. It's best to leave them at home.

Over at the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit, a dog owner wonders if they were wrong for bringing their dog on an errand to the pharmacy. The original poster (OP) clearly stated that they got permission from the staff over the phone and before they entered the establishment.

Two ladies gave the OP weird looks. And while they didn't reprimand the OP for what they did, they clearly wanted the OP to hear their conversation.

This made the dog owner uncomfortable. The OP also added that they're not from the US.

So some rules may not apply to them.

The OP asks the AITA community about an incident at the pharmacy.

The pharmacy staff allowed the OP to bring their dog.

But two people weren't comfortable with the dog inside the establishment.

The OP also revealed that they aren't from the US.

Most Redditors agree that the OP isn't the a-hole. The dog didn't make a fuss, after all.

The reality is not all people are pleased with dog owners bringing their pets so such establishments.

Bringing the dog not an issue since the pharmacy staff agreed.

The OP just needs to accept that not all people will be okay with dogs inside a pharmacy.

But for this Redditor, the ladies should've minded their own business.

This user believes that the OP needs to follow unwritten rules.

But people defended the OP because the staff allowed the dog in.

The OP makes it a point to ask an establishment before they bring their dog.

It shouldn't be an issue since the store staff allowed it.

Some people generally don't like dog owners who bring their dog everywhere.

It's no longer the OP's problem as they were given permission multiple times.

The ladies made a fuss out of a small things.

The ladies should complain to the pharmacy, not the OP.

Even in the US, rules about pets still vary from one location to another.

The OP just needs endure such treatment, sadly.

This a great way of dealing with the situation.

The OP had no other choice but to bring her dog. She didn't expect her order to be ready in a short time.

Unfortunately, there will always be people who judge dog owners who bring their pets.

The OP did nothing wrong here. After all, they asked permission from the staff multiple times.

But this is something that the OP will face if they bring their dogs to places that prioritize sanitation. It's either the OP ignores such reactions or says, "Have a nice day," as one user has suggested.
