Dogs are generally allowed in many Home Depot stores as long as they are well- behaved and kept on a leash. However, the official policy of Home Depot is to welcome only trained service dogs that assist individuals with disabilities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Some locations may have stricter policies allowing only service dogs inside, so it is recommended to call the local store beforehand to confirm their pet policy. Store policies can vary by location, and they may ask that dogs not disrupt operations or pose a threat. Emotional support animals do not have the same access rights as service dogs. Summary of Home Depot's dog policy:
- Service dogs are officially allowed in all stores per ADA.
- Many stores also welcome leashed, well-behaved pet dogs, but this varies by location.
- Emotional support animals are not guaranteed entry.
- Dogs should be under control and non-disruptive.
- It is best to call the local store to verify their specific pet policy before bringing a dog.
This guidance helps ensure a safe and smooth shopping experience for both customers and their furry companions at Home Depot.
