Haven't beenher in a couple of days, so here goes.....
Allowing a service dog into an establishment and having a pet in a home-based bakery are two vastly different subjects, so I won't try to compare the two situations.
I am extremely allergic to animals. Their hair/fur, their skin, and their saliva. One of my children is also allergic, but to a somewhat lesser degree than I am. Additionally, it's my personal preference (or squeamishness, if you want to see it that way) to not have pets around food. So, even if the law allows it, I would not order from a home-based baker that has pets in the home.
We bought a house that had pets living in it a few years ago. I had to get the carpets steam cleaned and the air ducts scrubbed before we moved in. The amount of hair from the ductwork could cover a small dog. Lovely.
My website clearly states that I work in a pet-free home, to assure customer for whom this would be an issue.
