History Main / NoAnimalsAllowed

** One comic, the family tries to find a restaurant to get dinner, but they keep getting turned away because all restaurants have a policy against dogs.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': Invoked in "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E84TheHunt The Hunt]]" about Heaven...or, as it turns out, Hell. Abe is told he has to leave behind his beloved dog Rip in order to enter Heaven, which he rejects because dogs should be allowed in Heaven. The TwistEnding reveals that this was actually the Devil's last attempt at trying to get Abe into Hell, where dogs are not allowed because they would [[EvilDetectingDog smell the brimstone and warn their masters.]]

** During the NoirEpisode "Where's Wanda?", Timmy finds Trixie as she's boarding a plane (a parody of ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'') and accuses her of stealing Wanda. The pilot yells at Timmy that no pets are allowed on the plane, pointing to the fish Cosmo. This allows Timmy to realize that since Wanda was also a fish at the time, Trixie couldn't have taken her on the plane.

There is some TruthInTelevision behind this, as pets tend to unleash chaos in the form of causing damage, disrupting settings, distracting people and of course leaving...droppings. From a human perspective, there is little to stop this idea from existing as it's simply too much to deal with animals on a frequent basis. That said, there are exceptions including the valid utilization of service animals. There may exist plenty of real life examples to draw from but Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', Pacha and Kuzco are hungry for lunch, but the diner has a prominent "No Llamas" sign, so Kuzco walks on two legs and wears Pacha's outer poncho [[DisguisedInDrag as a dress]] to get inside. (This actually ''works''; he has to flee from the diner not because he's revealed to actually be a llama, but because [[BigBad Yzma]] found him.)

* In ''VideoGame/LoveAndPies'', Sebastian hates pets running around in establishments, so he tries convincing Amelia to [[spoiler:get her dog out of the café.]]
* ''VideoGame/Persona3'': In ''[[UpdatedRerelease FES]]'', you could invite your friends to the movies, which include [[HeroicDog Koromaru]]. You get booted out of the movies because they don't allow animals into the theater. It somehow raises your courage because of that dumb decision but you promise to get Koromaru the movie on DVD.
* In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Yukiko's parents, who run an inn, forbid her from taking in a dog for reasons similar to Sojiro's below. Yukiko, distraught at this, briefly runs away from home and encounters Chie for the first time. Chie's family adopts the dog and the two girls become best friends.
* ''VideoGame/Persona5'':
** When the PlayerCharacter brings Morgana to the cafe he lives in, the owner Sojiro initially tries to throw him out. It's a health code violation to keep animals where he publically serves food. But Sojiro caves upon learning the cat has nowhere else to go, and so allows Joker to keep him, but to never let him down from Joker's living space in the attic during store hours and to clean up after the cat every time he comes down.
** Pets can be brought aboard the subway train, but you have to pay an extra fee to do so. The Phantom Thieves forgot to pay the fee one time, so had to pass off Morgana as a stuffed animal that meowed when you touch his head. This lead to the [[MemeticMutation memorable dialogue option]], [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential "Time to button mash."]]

As the New Team Avatar tracks down reports of people throughout the world gaining the ability to airbend in the hope of recruiting them into and helping rebuild the Air Nation, [[Recap/TheLegendOfKorraS3E3TheEarthQueen upon arriving in Ba Sing Se]], they receive a less-than-stellar welcome in the city when the Earth Queen Hou-Ting sends her Grand Secretariat Gun in her place, who upon seeing Naga and Pabu, the gang's pet polar bear dog and fire ferret, asks that they remain on the gang's airship for the duration of their stay, informing them that the Queen has forbidden any animals be within her presence. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as she's allergic to animal fur, but given that she is strongly implied (and confirmed by WordOfGod) to have eaten her father's pet bear Bosco, she may just hate pets in general.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', Brian becomes an author for the New Yorker until he admits he never finished college.
