Among the shops that allow dogs is Bookmans, where dogs are even given treats. Bookmans has three Tucson locations: 6230 E. Speedway; 3733 W. Ina Road; and 3330 E. Speedway. They also have stores in Phoenix, Flagstaff and Mesa.
Restaurants often steal the limelight when it comes to dog-friendly places, but there are many shops that also allow dogs. And the same goes for stores — if you’re unsure of a pet policy, call ahead.
- Bookmans Entertainment Exchange — All Bookmans locations allow dogs and even have treats on hand.
- Summit Hut, 5251 E. Speedway and 7745 N. Oracle Road — Looking to get some outdoor gear? Bring your dog along for the adventure.
- Rosie’s Barket, 327 E. Seventh St., 7960 N. Oracle Rd. — Rosie’s Barket is as dog-friendly as dog-friendly can get. The pet store has toys, accessories, and a dog wash. They even have their own “barkery” for treats.
- La Encantada Shopping Center, 2905 E. Skyline Drive — The common grounds at La Encantada are dog-friendly, as are many of the stores, including Crate & Barrel, Lululemon, and Ben Bridge Jeweler. La Encantada also boasts a Humane Society location and many dog-friendly restaurants.
- Chain stores — A number of chains are said to allow dogs, namely hardware stores, but we’ve also heard of some dog-friendly banks and drugstores in Tucson. Call ahead to check.
