What Target says
We could not find a pet or service-animal policy published by Target on its own website.
Source: none published that we could find (checked 15 October 2026).
Good to know: Target stores are generally subject to food-safety rules where groceries are sold. Ask your local store.
Country covered: United States. We only report what the retailer itself publishes. If you see something different in store, the store's staff have the final say.
