Before you bring your dog into a restaurant, grocery store, or other non-dog friendly venue, are you sure it’s a service dog or is it an emotional support animal?

Don’t know the difference? ☝🏾

The main difference is training and access rights. Service dogs are extensively trained to assist their handlers while emotional support animals don’t require any training and provide emotional support through their mere presence.

Service dogs have public access rights anywhere the public is allowed. Emotional support animals only have access to housing and air travel.

Many people don’t know this and I’m not too much of a rule-enforcer but it is illegal in most states to impersonate a service dog. If you haven’t done the training, please leave your dog at home.

🎄The holiday season is a time of joy, generosity, and gift-giving.

It's a time when we express our love and appreciation for friends and family with thoughtful presents.
