Wilko allows pets on leads in 248 UK stores as Ayrshire shop welcomes furry friends

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Wilko shops across the UK are now allowing pets on leads into all stores.The store in Ayr is among the 248 shops relaxing rules on dogs and other animals being allowed in store.

But Irvine isn't taking part in the scheme.The new measures are in place now and furry friends will be able to browse the entire store apart from the food aisles.The participating stores are primarily those with their own on-street entrance and exit rather than those that are, for example, located in shopping centres (like Irvine's Rivergate Centre store), which may not allow any animal guests, or where the entrance isn’t pet friendly.Signage at store entrances will make it clear if pets are welcome, although customers can also check with the store team if they are at all unsure.

Service dogs are, of course, welcome at all stores nationwide.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS and Android.
