So grab a starbucks PSL & pupcup and browse the store with your pal. Another pet friendly store is winners & homesense! Because these stores have a pet section you can actually bring them with you. So shop till you drop for all the cute dog toys & home decor while letting your pup take in all the smells. Our recommendation for fall bandanas for this outing is our coven bandana.
