TRAVELING WITH MY PSD. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

Does My PSD Need a Service Vest or Service ID Card?
The ADA does not require service animals to wear a special vest, ID tag, or harness. However, we strongly encourage individuals to outfit their dog with these items, as it can make airline travel more convenient and stress-free. Service apparel helps distinguish your animal from normal pets and allows airline staff to clearly see that the dog’s presence is required because of a special need.

Having a Service Animal ID card for your PSD can also be beneficial, as it clearly explains what airline staff are allowed to ask you under ADA guidelines, and more importantly, what they’re not allowed to do (e.g. ask about the person’s disability, ask the dog to perform their tasks, or refuse admittance, isolate, segregate, or treat you less favorably than other patrons). To learn more about other benefits of an ID card, as well as what an appropriate ID card should include and how you can purchase one call American Support Animals Today (602) 699-3888.
