New signs placed at the entrance of all Publix locations are cracking down on customers bringing in pets while they shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supermarket chain is reminding shoppers that under applicable law, no pets are allowed inside \u2013 which includes emotional support animals. Only service animals are allowed while shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to company leaders, dogs, pets and other animals that only provide comfort, companionship or emotional support don’t qualify as service animals. They are not allowed inside a Publix, even with a doctor’s note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Publix’s website<\/a>, customers are asked that non-service animals be removed from the premises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Publix will gladly provide personal shopping assistance to such an individual upon request.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
