8 places where you won’t be allowed with a dog – and rightly so

To be honest, by law you can go anywhere with your pet as long as it is muzzled and on a leash. But by no means are they ready to welcome you with open arms everywhere.

Born Jack Russell, Gosha is a member of our small but very friendly family. The husband does not even imagine how he can go somewhere without Gosha. At first, he even dragged it with him to work, and on my Sunday shifts our pet went to the editorial office and was even quite useful: he carried signed stripes from the office for layout. But one day Gosha did not get to the cafe with us, and then they didn’t let us into the park … We figure out where we should not go with the dog.

It was my husband and I who were lucky with a loyal leadership. In general, you cannot work with dogs. Your pet can interfere with others, dirty the room, tear up important documents or simply distract from business. A dog will only be allowed into the office if your animal is on the staff itself. For example, he works at a petting zoo. Or you work for the Mars company, which since 2016 allows you to come to work with four-legged ones. According to management, this approach only improves the office environment. The only thing is that colleagues are asked to put a special flag on the table, which will show that you are not alone at the workplace.

The ticket lady at the entrance will hardly believe that your Tuzik loves Wagner very much and is ready to sell the bone, in the sense of his soul, for the production of Lev Dodin’s Three Sisters. Firstly, have pity on the audience, whom the pet will distract, and secondly, have pity on the pet, because he will have to spend several hours in the dark and under incomprehensible and frightening sounds.

Only dogs who work there as actors are allowed to enter the theater. For example, in the St. Petersburg Maly Drama Theater, the dog Glasha works, she plays the role of Mumu. Glasha is not only always welcome in the dressing rooms and the theatrical buffet, the four-legged star also goes on tour.

With animals, animals are not allowed. Your pet is not only a carrier of a probable infection for the inhabitants of the zoo, but also an irritant, and for some, food. Tigers are unlikely to calmly react to a dog running next to the cage, even on a leash, and even more so to a cute Yorkie in a purse. To the striped predator, it looks like a beautifully served snack. If you don’t want problems, don’t try to get into the zoo with your pet.

Of course, in some parks you can meet owners with pets, but this is an exception. By law, quadrupeds can only be walked on special areas, and dogs are not allowed in most green areas. And this is easy to explain. For example, children are playing in the parks, your animal may harm them. Or attack visitors who are running. Another problem is that some owners do not like to clean up after their pets.

In St. Petersburg, dogs are forbidden to walk in one of the parks due to the fact that … squirrels and ducks live there. Animals and birds have suffered several times from dog teeth.

Please note that most of the shops have a sign that says “Animals are not allowed”. But sometimes you can meet visitors there with dogs in their purses. Fortunately, few people would think to go shopping with larger breeds. The owners of tetrapods do not at all think that due to their pets in an enclosed space, other visitors may develop allergies. And a dog sitting in a basket or a shopping cart … This is too unhygienic.

If you spot a dog where it shouldn’t be, just go to the administrator and pay attention to the violators.

In general, there is no direct prohibition in Russian legislation. But there are local regulations that restrict four-legged shopping in stores, unless, of course, they are guides.

kafe

Animals have nothing to do in a cafe, if it is not specialized. Need to explain why? Firstly, the possible allergy to dogs in other visitors, secondly, the danger of being bitten, and thirdly, it is absolutely unhygienic, especially when some owners manage to feed the pets from restaurant plates.

There is also a letter from Roskomtorg dated March 17, 1994, which recommends the absence of any animals in public catering. However, there are also animal friendly cafes. If only the dog was not too large, and other visitors did not have any objections.

Clinic, hospital

Well, you understand that people go to the clinic not just to show themselves, to look at others. Patients have health problems. They are unlikely to be happy with the company of your Tuzik or Sharik in the queue to the doctor. The reasons are the same, plus weakened health.

But there are exceptions. Familiar doctors told how they let his beloved dog to the owner, who was in cardiac intensive care. After literally a few minutes of communication, the patient’s blood pressure returned to normal. But this is still an exception. In contrast to Western clinics, where therapeutic dogs work in hospitals: from communicating with them, patients feel better.

Ekalesia

There is nothing specific in the church rules about visiting a temple with an animal. However, there is an unspoken ban on dogs. There are several versions of why your pet will be an unwanted guest at the service.

In the Old Testament, dogs are considered unclean animals, and they are strictly forbidden to be in the temple. Orthodox even in the house are not recommended to keep a dog. Modern priests try to explain the prohibition by the fact that the dogs are very loyal to the owner and will distract him from prayer and thoughts about God.
