Dogs are generally allowed in most B&Q stores across the UK, provided they are well-behaved, kept on a lead, and under control at all times. However, B&Q's official policy states only guide dogs and assistance dogs are always allowed, while non-assistance dogs may be permitted at the store manager’s discretion. Individual stores may have different rules based on layout, local regulations, or specific circumstances, so it is advisable to call ahead to check the policy of the local store before visiting with a dog. Dogs are not allowed in trolleys or shopping baskets, and disruptive dogs may be asked to leave.
