It is not recommended to leave a dog outside in the rain for long periods of time, especially in cold or heavy rain. However, a short period of time in the rain is usually fine for healthy dogs.
Risks of leaving a dog outside in the rain
Respiratory infections: Prolonged exposure to wet and cold weather can cause inflammation in the respiratory tract, making dogs more susceptible to pneumonia.
Skin infections: Rain can cause skin infections like dermatitis, pyoderma, ringworm, or hot spots.
Ear infections: Rain can cause ear infections like otitis externa or otitis media.
Eye infections: Rain can cause eye infections like conjunctivitis or keratitis.
What to do if your dog gets wet
Dry your dog with a towel as soon as you come inside.
Provide a warm, dry area for your dog to stay in.
Consider training your dog to wear a raincoat.
How to help your dog get used to wet paws
Feed your dog treats or meals on wet grass.

ADA Requirements: Service Animals

According to the ADA, a service animal is a dog that has received training to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities.

If a dog’s presence solely provides comfort, it does not meet the ADA’s definition of a service animal. On the other hand, if the dog is trained to perform tasks related to a person’s disability, it qualifies as a service animal. For instance, a dog trained to detect anxiety attacks and take actions to mitigate or avoid them is considered a service animal.

Examples of Service Animal Tasks

Wheelchair users may have dogs trained to retrieve objects.

Individuals with depression may have dogs trained to remind them to take medication.

Those with PTSD may have dogs trained to alert them to impending panic attacks.

People with epilepsy may have dogs trained to detect seizures and ensure their safety during the seizure. These examples illustrate various situations where service dogs are necessary.
