Requirements for Pets to be allowed in a Blain's Farm and Fleet Store

Applies to Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin only. Pets are not allowed in our Michigan stores, except for service animals.

Pets may be allowed into Farm and Fleet stores as long as they meet the following requirement:  All pets must be controlled on a leash. Pets are not allowed in our Michigan Stores pursuant to Michigan Department of Agriculture Food Code Section 6-501.115(A). Service animals are welcome.

Size of Animal Allowed In Store

To ensure the safety of both our customers and the animals themselves, only animals reasonably estimated to be less than 175 pounds are allowed in the store.  If a customer brings in an animal over that weight limit, such as a horse, cow, donkey, etc. a Blain’s Farm & Fleet store manager will kindly ask for the animal to be escorted out of the store. This is done with the sole purpose of protecting our customers, store associates, and anyone else who is in our store.

Unruly or Misbehaving Pets

If your pet is misbehaving and creating an unsafe environment, one of our store associates will kindly issue a warning to get your pet under control. If the owner/pet does not comply with the request, then your pet will be asked to leave the store immediately. 

It is managements’ sole discretion to determine if a pet is well-behaved and/or under control.  We reserve the right to determine if a pet is welcome or unwelcome in our stores.  The safety and well-being of our associates and customers is our first responsibility.
