Yes, you can take well-behaved, leashed dogs to Bunnings in Australia. They must be under full control, on a lead, and you must clean up after them; assistance animals are always welcome, and sometimes dogs are allowed in trolleys or the timber yard without a muzzle, but otherwise, muzzles might be required for unrestrained dogs.
In Australia, Bunnings, BCF (Boating Camping Fishing), and Petbarn are generally dog-friendly (on leash), while many larger shopping centres and supermarkets like Woolworths & Coles (unless assistance animals) typically don't allow pets inside. Specific smaller centres like East Village (Zetland) & The Cannery (Rosebery) in Sydney allow dogs in common areas, and regional spots like Hahndorf (SA) offer dog-welcoming boutiques, but always check individual store policies and local restrictions before visiting with your pet.
No, pet dogs are generally not allowed in Kmart Australia, but officially recognized assistance animals (like guide dogs) are permitted if kept on a lead or controlled. While some shoppers bring pets (sometimes in trolleys), it violates Kmart's policy and public health standards for food areas, so it's best to leave pets at home unless they are certified assistance animals.

The hardware giant's allowance of canine companions in stores has polarized customers, with strong opinions emerging from both pet owners and those who prefer a dog-free shopping experience.
No, pet dogs are generally not allowed in Woolworths stores due to food safety regulations, but registered assistance animals (like guide dogs or disability support animals) are permitted if clearly identified. Woolworths welcomes assistance animals but prohibits everyday pets, a policy consistent with Australian food safety laws that restrict live animals in food handling areas.
No, pet dogs are generally not allowed in Coles stores due to food safety policies, but certified assistance animals (like guide dogs or disability support animals) are permitted if clearly identified with a harness, coat, or collar, as they are essential for their handlers with disabilities, not pets. You might see dogs in shopping carts or trolleys, but this sparks debate and goes against Coles' official stance, with assistance animals needing to be controlled and not in trolleys for hygiene reasons.
Animals are not permitted in Costco warehouses unless admission is required by applicable law.

Pet-friendly malls often welcome dogs in common outdoor areas, with some offering designated play zones, water stations, and specific stores allowing pets, but rules vary, typically requiring leashes and cleanup, and often prohibiting pets in indoor dining areas; examples include Australia's Harbour Town Gold Coast, Cockburn Gateway, East Village Zetland, and Westfield Chermside, while Burwood Brickworks uses paw prints to guide visitors to pet-approved spots.

The calmest dog breeds often include large, gentle giants like the Saint Bernard, Newfoundland, and Great Dane, along with smaller, easygoing companions such as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Basset Hound, Pug, and English Bulldog, all known for their relaxed, affectionate, and laid-back temperaments, though individual dogs vary. Sighthounds like the Greyhound are also surprisingly calm indoors, needing short bursts of energy but otherwise content to lounge.
But from customer inquiries and responses from the chain's customer care, it is clear that Aldi does not allow dogs or any other pet into the store unless it is a service animal.
Pets must be kept on a leash inside the centre, plus supervised by their owners. Ask at the entry of individual stores for whether pets are allowed inside, with pets not allowed inside any of the restaurants.

No, generally pet dogs are not allowed in Kmart stores, but assistance animals (like guide dogs) are welcome; some specific shopping centers might have different rules for the Kmart location within them, and staff discretion plays a role, though official policy focuses on service animals. While some shoppers bring pets in, especially small ones in trolleys, it goes against store policy for general pets, and staff can ask them to leave, as seen in various community discussions in Australia where Kmart operates.

No. Even though Costco does not resemble a traditional grocery store and the warehouse setup may seem similar to a Lowes or Home Depot, Costco still sells food, so animals are not welcome. Is Bed Bath & Beyond a pet-friendly store? Yes.
Costco is often cheaper than Coles on a unit price basis, especially for bulk pantry staples, toiletries, and specific brands (like Kirkland), but savings depend heavily on what you buy and how much you'll use, as Coles' weekly specials can sometimes beat Costco's regular bulk prices, making it essential to compare unit costs (per kg/L) and your household's needs. Costco excels for large families or heavy users of non-perishables, while Coles might be better for small households or impulse buys, notes CHOICE, Yahoo Finance Australia, Reddit users, and Reddit users.

It helps prevent fear and reactivity by creating positive associations with novel experiences during the critical socialization window (around 4-16 weeks).
