Marshalls’ policy on dogs is not uniform across all locations. In practice, many stores restrict non-service dogs, while service animals are allowed in all Marshalls locations under federal law. Because local store policies can vary, it’s best to check the specific Marshalls location you plan to visit. What to expect
- Service dogs: Allowed in all Marshalls stores. They must be treated as service animals under applicable laws (no pet restrictions for service animals) [web results indicate ADA protections and standard practice].
- Regular pets: Access varies by location; some stores may allow well-behaved dogs at the discretion of the store manager, while others may require leaving pets outside. Local health codes and community preferences often influence this [web results summarize location-dependent policies].
Practical steps
- Call ahead or check the store’s local policy online before you go.
- If you’re bringing a pet, keep your dog on a short leash, under control, and be mindful of other shoppers and store policies.
- If your dog is a service animal, you should be prepared to identify the animal as a service animal if asked, and the dog should be under control and not posing a disruption.
