Based on feedback from members and staff, MEC is now allowing well-behaved dogs in most of our stores.
Your furry friends will now be able to accompany you at most MEC stores while following the requirements below. We’re excited to welcome you and your pup into our air-conditioned stores, whether you’re out walking together or driving to our locations.
Note: service dogs are always allowed in all MEC stores.
Due to applicable restrictions, the following stores will not be able to permit regular dogs (non-service dogs) from entering:
