Federal Law Prohibits Discrimination Of Breed,Size,Training Level Or Age Of Any Emotional Support Or Service Dog.

Emotional support dogs do not have to be trained to perform any specific task. Service dogs can be trained by their owners or in any other manner the owner desires to assist them with their disability.

People With Service Animals Must Be Allowed Access To All Public Accommodations. This right takes precedence over all state and local laws which might otherwise prohibit animals in those places such as Stores, Malls, Restaurants, Hotels/Resorts, Airlines,Cruises, Taxi cabs, Buses just to name a few.

The Americans with Disabilities Act, also known as the ADA, clearly states that proof of “certification” cannot be required by any facility or business for legal access if you meet the requirements for a person with a legal disability, and your dog meets the requirements of a service animal. Many business owners and establishments are ignorant of the law,  ID Badges will have all of the necessary information should they require further explanation regarding your rights when accompanied by your Service Dog. Complaints Regarding Business Owners Can Be Filed Here

Many landlords and business owners request to see registration paperwork or other identification  Identification & proper paperwork should avoid landlord conflicts about the validity of your service animal. Complaints Regarding Landlords Can Be Filed Here

Traveling with your Service Dog  The Department of Transportation, also known as D.O.T.,  Service Animal Guidance for airlines states the following: Carriers shall accept as evidence that an animal is a service animal identifiers such as identification cards, other written documentation, presence of harnesses,tags or the credible verbal assurances of a qualified individual with a disability using the animal.

Please note that the Department of Transportation lists identification cards at the top of their list and only verbal assurance is at the bottom. Many owners of service dogs have reported that the airlines have required some sort of identification even though by law they are not allowed to do this.  Please understand that you are NOT required by law to carry one of these cards, however, they should dramatically speed up your process of getting through airport security, etc. without arguments or confrontations.
