Keeping Pet Etiquette in Mind
As more businesses open their doors to dogs, it’s important we keep those privileges going strong:
- Bring waste bags and clean up after your pet.
- Always ask before entering (just in case the policy has changed).
- Be mindful of other customers and pets.
PetWise Pro Tip: Remember to bring to your leash! While all these pawsome Moore County places are pet friendly, it’s important to remember that not all doggos are comfortable with other pets. Plus, it’s NC leash law ;).
