A number of people are very excited about Silverburn's decision to go dog friendly.
One reader said: "That’s amazing news for dogs to come to Silverburn shopping Centre I give that 10 out of 10"
Another thought it was a smart business move from the shopping centre: "Great idea. If dog owners can take their dog's shopping they will not have to hurry home. They will stay out longer and spend more money in the struggling shops. I'm all for dog-friendly shop"
However, many were concerned by the news, with many pointing out that some are allergic or scared of dogs.
One disgruntled reader said: "This is just crazy. Not everyone are dog lovers.
"I know people who are frightened of dog's myself being one of them. How are they going to clean up any mess the dogs do or are people going to be sliding on dog wee or even worse dog poo."
Some dog owners also believe that allowing the beloved family pet might not be the best idea.
A pup owner wrote: "Love the idea of dog-friendly places but I don't think I'd drag my dog through the shopping centre, 1 people could have allergies to dogs and 2 come on let's face it what dog doesn't like to mark its territory and this could be a huge problem.
"Also got to think of the safety side of it, reactive dogs or kids running up touching dogs not fair for the dog or child. I absolutely love my dog but it's just far too warm for us at times never mind dog walking about for hours in a shopping centre.
"I totally get though if someone wants to meet for a coffee and the dog for a bit it's a lovely idea but maybe stick to the outdoors at the end of the day that's where dogs prefer and love to be."
There are some who believe the pups could be better shopping companions than some children.
With one commenter saying: "Think people need to give responsible dog owners and dogs more credit. If you have a decent well socialised dog, who toilets outside, who is under control and confident.
"No issues. Better behaved than some children. Get a life and let people live, Karen! Ps the dogs wont be trying on the clothes before you buy."
