Pet Policy
We are dog friendly, for friendly dogs. We love pets here at Berkshire Roots and we welcome your well-behaved pooch in our stores when you come to visit us. We ask that you follow the below, for the safety of all and appreciate you adhering to our guidelines.
Dog must be well-behaved and remain on a leash the entire time. (Retractable leashes are to be kept short so the dog is close to you at all times.)
You are always to remain in control of your dog.
People may ask to pet your dog, you may allow them to, however, the dog is to remain on a shorten leash while saying hello. Please ensure you have a vest for your service animal if you do NOT want people to ask about petting your dog. "Please do not pet me - I am working" is common to have on the animal's vest.
There may be other dogs in the store when you arrive, if your dog does not get along well with others, we recommend leaving them at home.
With our ever-changing environment, we may adjust or revise our policy. We thank you for being part of the Berkshire Roots family (we appreciate you visiting BR) and we want you to bring your fur friend as we love to see them too. We just ask that you respect everyone's well-being.
