Major UK retailer The Range has announced they are now 'dog-friendly' in all their stores.
This means those looking to shop for all their homeware needs can take their dog along with them.
The move was implemented last week and affects some 200 stores across the UK.

Announcing the news, the retail chain said on Instagram: "We have some pawsome news to share... Our stores are now DOG FRIENDLY 🐶🧡
"That’s right, we’re now welcoming four legged furry shoppers in our 200+ stores nationwide 🙌 & perfect timing!"
Promoting the new deals available to dog owners, the brand added: "Our Pet Event is on in-stores today for you to ‘fetch’ incredible deals across pet supplies! RUN, do not walk!"
The Range is following in the steps of Wilko which made this move all the way back in 2022.
To celebrate this brand-new approach, The Range and Wilko have announced that they are running pet-themed discounts of over 40% on essential items like food and toys.

However, The Range set out a few ground rules that responsible dog owners need to follow.
Firstly, those wanting to take their pooch into stores will need to keep their dog on a leash at all times.
The dog(s) must also be well-mannered and owners must clean up after them if they make a mess.
As well as these changes, The Range and Wilko have announced that they will also be enhancing other services to give customers a better experience. This includes a Click & Collect service that takes as little as an hour.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
