is total wine and more dog friendly

[VonSabrina]

Hello there! That's a great question, as it can be a bit confusing figuring out store policies for our furry friends.

Based on the information available, the official company-wide policy for Total Wine & More is that they only allow service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This means that, officially, pet dogs and emotional support animals are not permitted inside their stores.

However, many customers have reported a different experience at their local stores. It seems that the policy can vary significantly from one location to another, likely depending on the store manager's discretion. There are numerous reviews, like one on BringFido for a store in Sarasota, where customers say the staff was very welcoming to their leashed, well-behaved dogs.

Because the rules aren't consistent across all locations, the best and safest approach is to call your specific Total Wine & More store ahead of time. A quick call to ask about their dog policy will ensure you and your pup have a smooth and happy shopping trip
