Michaels generally allows dogs in their stores, but policies can vary by location. Here’s a concise guidance based on common practice and recent reports:

• Core policy: Well-behaved dogs on leashes are typically allowed inside most Michaels locations. This aligns with multiple third-party sources noting pet-friendly policies at Michaels, with leash requirements and good behavior emphasized.

• Practical tips:
  • Always keep your dog on a leash and under control to avoid noise or behavior issues with other customers or pets.

* Bring waste bags and be prepared to clean up after your dog if needed.

* If your dog is not well-behaved or if the store is crowded or has sensitive areas, consider waiting outside or calling ahead to confirm local policy.

• Variations by location: While the general policy is pet-friendly, some specific stores or nearby venues (e.g., mall policies) could affect entry in practice. It’s best to check the local Michaels store’s policy or call ahead.
