I am a dog lover, but think this is a step too far...
Visited large garden centre near Birmingham Airport yesterday. It was very busy, not only with people but dogs large and small. This business now has a Costa near the entrance in addition to their own restaurant at the back of the store and there's also a fresh food section near the tills. What concerned me was I heard barking coming from the restaurant. Really put me off even having a drink there.
A local garden centre that sells food has banned dogs for hygiene reasons. I thought this applied to all such premises. I realise guide dogs are an exception as it is obvious they are not just the family pet.
