High street retailer Wilko has made a major change to more than 200 stores across the UK.
The retailer has confirmed that 248 of its stores will now allow pets to visit too.
The news comes after a successful pilot at two locations. Furry friends, on their leads if applicable, will be able to browse all areas of the participating stores - except for food aisles.

The participating stores are primarily those with their own on-street entrance and exit rather than those that are, for example, located in shopping centres, which may not allow any animal guests, or where the entrance isn’t pet friendly.
Signage at store entrances will make it clear if pets are welcome, although customers can also check with the store team if they are at all unsure. Service dogs are welcome at all stores nationwide.
Wilko stocks everything from pet food to treats, bedding to toys, cleaning supplies to healthy pet essentials and more. For other animal family members, the retailer is also home to reptile, bird and fish pet supplies.
