Victoria's Secret
As a pet owner who likes to bring their dog along with them everywhere, you will be happy to learn Victoria Secret stores are pet-friendly. This store is usually crowded so your dog will need to be in a carrier or on a short leash and remain by your side at all times.
You are required to have effective control of your dog when it is off the leash. Your dog should respond to your commands and should not disturb or threaten other people or animals. Under the Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a leash in all public places.
