Tractor Supply's Pet Policy: Bringing Your Pet to Our Stores

Short answer: Yes! We welcome all animals to our stores as long as they are leashed. Understanding how much your pets mean to you, and the dangers that can occur when they are left inside a vehicle, we encourage you to bring your companion inside while you shop. Your pet must be well-behaved, under control, and on a leash or in a carrier at all times.

Our stores are welcoming of more than just dogs. Because we are pet-friendly, we extend our invitation to all types of pets and even some farm animals. From cats and rabbits to goats and pigs, all are welcome, provided they are calm, comfortable in a retail environment and leashed or contained. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, whether they are browsing dog toys or chicken feed

Tips for Bringing Your Animal Shopping

While we encourage customers to bring their pets in, we ask that you please do so responsibly. Following a few simple guidelines ensures a safe and productive experience for all visitors:

Keep Your Pet Leashed or Contained

Your animal must always be leashed or contained while inside the store and on the property. This is not only for the safety of other customers but also for your animal's safety. Store aisles may contain equipment, unsafe chemicals and other hazards that can harm your animal if it wanders freely. 

When leashing your animal, it’s best to use a durable, strong leash that is around 4-6 ft. long, as this length allows you to maintain control while still allowing your pet to move comfortably. Avoid extra-long or retractable leashes, as they can extend and create tripping hazards for others. A sturdy leash, paired with a well-fitted collar or harness, helps to keep your pet safe and makes it easier to guide them through the store. If you choose to escort your pet around in a carrier, it must always remain closed unless you have an appropriate leash with you for them to wear.

Make Certain Your Pet Is Well-Behaved

Before you bring a furry or feathered friend with you to shop, consider how they typically behave in new environments. A busy store can be full of strange sounds, smells and people, which may cause stress for some animals. Make sure your pet is calm, social and comfortable in public spaces before entering the store. You may want to spend a few moments outside the store to see how your animal reacts before coming inside. 

Clean Up After Your Pet

Accidents can happen, especially when animals are in unfamiliar environments. We ask that if you shop with your animal by your side, please come prepared in case any accidents happen. If an accident occurs, please notify an employee, as well. Having waste bags, cleaning wipes or paper towels with you makes handling unexpected situations much easier. See if your pet needs to handle their business before entering the store to avoid unexpected accidents inside. 

Shop with Your Pet at Tractor Supply

Whether you’re stopping in for farm and ranch supplies, pet products or something else, make your animal part of the shopping experience. As long as they are well-behaved, leashed and under control, your pet is welcome to be your shopping companion at all Tractor Supply locations. After all, spending time with your beloved animals is a crucial part of Life Out Here.
