List of Pet Regulations in Taiwan’s Shopping Malls｜Take your furry kids shopping
Many people are eager to get out and about and stop staying at home. For those pet owners, an ideal outing option is to take your furry child with you to the mall.
However, different shopping malls have different pet policies, so it’s important to understand each major store’s pet regulations when planning to go shopping with your pet.
The following are the pet policies of major shopping malls in Taiwan:
Home Store Pet Policy :
In Taiwan, many home furnishing stores have begun to provide pet-friendly environments. For example, HOLA not only allows pets to enter, but also provides strollers specially designed for pets. Not only are these carts made with your pet’s comfort in mind, they also help keep your store clean and orderly.
Mass sales stores that are often visited for purchasing daily necessities have strict regulations on pets entering the store because they have a large number of fresh ingredients, and they tend not to allow pets to enter the store. Among them, RT-Mart allows pets to enter the store using pet strollers /baskets/slings, but they must strictly abide by the regulations that their heads, hands and feet must not be exposed.
Department stores and shopping malls :
Among department stores in Taiwan, most of them, such as Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, Sogo, Taipei 101, etc., have adopted pet-friendly policies. As long as you abide by the "no landing" principle, you can bring pets in. This not only provides owners with more choices, but also demonstrates the efforts of these stores to create an inclusive environment.
