If you've recently acquired a furry friend or are simply looking to enjoy a day out with your pooch, you might be wondering whether it's possible to bring them along to IKEA California. After all, who doesn't love the idea of shopping for home decor whilst enjoying the company of your four-legged friend?

Thankfully, IKEA California recognises the importance of pets in our lives and has implemented a pet-friendly policy for its customers. However, before you pack up your dog and head over to IKEA, here are some frequently asked questions that might help clear up any confusion:

1. Are all IKEA stores pet-friendly?

While many IKEA stores welcome pets into their premises; however, it's always best to double-check if your local store is pet-friendly before making the journey.

2. What kind of pets are allowed at IKEA California?

While dogs are usually the most welcomed pets at IKEA California stores, other pets such as cats and rabbits may also be permitted as well. Nevertheless, we advise referring back to question one- reach out to customer service representatives for store-specific guidelines.

3. Do all sections of the store allow pets?

Typically only designated parts of Ikea (such as outdoors seating areas) allow non-service animals.The cafe areas , in particular have plenty of space that accommodates pups without getting in anyone's way.

4. Do I need to keep my dog on a leash while in-store?

Speaking from personal experience- Don't leave unsecured fur babies wander aimlessly around the store! This rule is meant not just for control purposes but also extends some sense of protection when accidents may occur due overcrowding

5. Will my dog be allowed inside popular restaurant section inside Ikea?

This really depends on the store to store bases, but do expect that not all IKEAs will allow pet nap times in their restaurants.

6. Is there a designated area for dogs to relieve themselves?

We can't ignore the fact that nature calls even while shopping. Fortunately, some IKEA stores have outdoor areas where your pooch can take care of their business. However, carry extra bags for dog waste and make it clean before leaving.
