There are a ton of local building supplies store that LIKES dogs!!!

I had an email from Lloyd - this is what he said:  "Taylor TIM-BR Mart in Musquoboit Harbour is Dog friendly, we love dogs here. We have our regular customers who bring their dogs on a daily basis. Come on in and please bring your dog."  Is that awesome or what? 

Rona out in Bayer's Lake is dog friendly! Rick, Sue, and their dog Clancy have been going there - and they say the store is totally dog friendly - and is great to go to! yea! And Clancy is a large golden - so Rona is friendly to all sizes of dogs - which is super!

 I had an email from Frank S. in Halifax who said you can also take your dog to Piercy's on Robie Street and Glidden Paints on Young Street in Halifax!  

 I had an email from dog owners Gary and Donna that the Canadian Tire in Lower Sackville allows dogs - so Canadian Tires are great places to spend money in!   Canadian Tire on Main Street in Dartmouth WELCOMES DOGS!  They have a sign on their door that says so! Luciene emailed me and said that and we were both very happy to see that.  Business owners hopefully will take the cue and follow that business's initiative when they realize that it increases their bottom line! haha!   Canadian Tire (I've been to the Quinpool Road one) - they also keep biscuits behind the counters for dogs.  I don't think I have to tell you what the store is like, but I LOVE Canadian Tire money.  I buy anything that I could get at Walmart of Zellers there, except that I can take my dog in with me!!!  A note though - I would say that the Quinpool Road Canadian Tire store is just about the ONLY Canadian Tire that IS dog friendly - just about all the other ones have a "no dogs" sign on the front - so make sure you go to the store - and tell them why you're shopping at THAT store!  

 Kent Building Supply does not allow dogs any more.    Melissa and Daisy (her daschund/beagle mix) go to Home Depot in Dartmouth all the time.  She said they just love to see her (I'm not sure if she meant herself or Daisy!) coming through the door!  Way to go for Home Depot! I've had confirmation of the dog-friendliness of Home Depot in Bayer's Lake! Isn't that super?  I've gone in there with Buttercup and thought it was a fluke!  But I've been emailed by a large chocolate lab owner who said he goes there with his wife and his lab and they love his dog - such good news!  Home Depot is the best - along with the smaller and more personal building supply stores which I still love more of course! (haha!)    

Another store that I've never mentioned before but have been going to for years is Valleyfield farm store out in Sackville - they sell farm supplies - but they also sell doggy accessories at great prices - like collars, leashes and dog food - and they don't sell live animals (except for livestock like baby chickens) - and their prices are better than regular pet stores.  So if you're out in Lower Sackville you should check them out!    

Halifax Seeds in the north end of Halifax loves dogs!  Shawn, his wife and their lab puppy Callie were out shopping and they found out that Halifax Seeds is very dog friendly and they even have cookies behind the counter - so if you're shopping for your back yard and you're in the north end of  Halifax - you should definitely go there!

I had an email from Susan who gave me a TON of places in Lower Sackville that are dog friendly - Canadian Tire (Bedford & Sackville), Kents Sackville,  - so that's a ton of stuff out there in Lower Sackville!
