Service Animals
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals are dogs (and in some cases miniature horses) that are individually trained to perform specific tasks directly related to a person’s disability.
Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy animals are not considered service animals under the ADA.
Businesses may ask only two questions:
- Is the animal required because of a disability?
- What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
Businesses may not ask about the person’s disability or require documentation.
A service animal may be removed if it:
- Is not under control
- Is not housebroken
- Poses a direct threat to health or safety
- Fundamentally alters the nature of the service provided
