We do a lot of travelling with our cat. She was taught to have a harness and lead. I don’t care what people think as she has to go shopping with us in her carrier if it’s too hot to leave her in the caravan. She is doing no harm to any body but there are too many people these day who love to complain. What about the poor kids and pet that are left to die in hot locked cars.

Why does it take 2 people to walk around a supermarket shopping for food? I’ve been alone for 9 years and manage to do my shopping. Surely one person can mind the cat outside.
Kids & animals left in cars is a different issue.
If they start letting animals in the supermarkets I’m taking in my companion animal… the Komodo dragon.

I was worried about dogs ani on my home grown tomatoes but it was ok, I saw a dog lifting his leg and washing them.

Durig the winter months in the Blue Mountains of NSW I went to an outdoor restaurant that provided knee rugs for the customers.
I sat and watched as one couple placed the rug on the ground for their 2 dogs to sit on for well over an hour. On leaving picked the rug up and placed back on a chair. The next couple that arrived wrapped the same rug around their infant child.
I couldn't help myself, I had to tell them where the rug had been, the waitress was left wondering why they got up and left. Just because you do this at home doesn't mean you can do it with other people's property.

Dear member VicCiCi, thankyou for your post. Yes l agree with you totally. My daughter also has a kitten, that she carries in a pet carrier when she goes shopping. She never places the carrier into the trolley, but holds the pet carrier in one hand and pushes the trolley with the other hand. She will also place the pet carrier in the floor for a moment, if she needs to place a heavy food product like a crate of water bottles into tbe trolly. That's what pet carrier are made for, to keep the pet safe, and to make sure the pet does not come into contact with anything that it shouldn't. Have a beautiful day.

Dear member Clancieblue, thankyou for your post. Oh my goodness, that is just awful. If I was there, l think I would have asked to see the manager and tell him or her that it is unhygienic to allow pets to sit on the rugs that are meant to be for customers. Some people, who don't have their own children, actually treat their pets, like they were their children. I remember many ears ago, my aunty and uncle who dont have children, came to our house for lunch. My mother loves pets and we had our own cats, but always they would be outside. Whilst we were all having lunch, my aunty called out to her let dog and said, come here FiFi, and the same spoon that she was eating with, she fed her dog and then ate with the same spoon herself. My mother did not want to offend my aunty, but when my aunty and uncle left, my mother said l can't believe this, and she threw the spoon into the bin. With regards to the incident in the restaurant, many good blessing to you for telling the parents, that the rug had been sat on by the pets. Have a beautiful day.

Dear member Giannidifirenze, thankyou for your post. Yes I agree with you. But sometimes there is only one person who may live alone, who needs to do the shopping. That's when it's a good idea, if possible to ask a neighbour or trusted friend to look after the pet. Or even pay, to have a trusted person the look after the pet, just while the person is doing their shopping. Have a beautiful day.

Dear 7777, you are absolutely correct, I’ve seen where all the dogs ani (plural of anus) have been sitting on the unwashed sebago potatoes.

Dear member Giannidifirenze, thankyou for your post. Oh my goodness now everytime that I will go to the Supermarket and see the Sebago potatoes, I will remember your post. Instant Deb mashed potatoes, will be in my trolley from now on. Have a great day.

I wash all my vegies and fruit before putting it in the fridge after bringing it home from shop/ supermarket . We just don’t know who has handled it prior so better to be safe than sorry .

Nah, if I get a dog it’s going to be big. Most supermarkets deliver shopping now days.
If I see someone in a supermarket with an animal in a cage or on a lead… I’m going to be berating that person for bringing their animal amongst food for human consumption.its gonna be ugly.
