No, you cannot bring your dog to Costco.
Costco has a strict no pet policy, with a few exceptions for service animals. This means that unless your dog is a certified service animal, you will not be allowed to bring them inside the store.
This policy is in place for health and safety reasons. Since Costco is a grocery store, they want to maintain a clean environment for all customers.
If you need to shop and can’t leave your dog at home, consider finding a pet-friendly alternative or a trusted pet sitter.
Service animals, defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are trained to help individuals with disabilities. They are allowed in all public places, including Costco.
If you have a service dog, make sure they are wearing the appropriate vest or identification.
For everyone else, it’s best to plan your shopping trip without your furry friend.
