Knowledge is power. Be aware of the laws that protect you and your service dog. The ADA website offers information on how a service animal is defined, laws regarding service animals in places of business, and frequently asked questions. This is a wonderful source of information that can provide you with education and confidence when out in public with your service dog.

DOT Service Dog Travel Form

Airlines may deny transport to a service dog if the airline requires completed DOT service animal forms and the service animal user does not provide the airline these forms.

Onboard the aircraft

  • Your service animal must be permitted to accompany you in the space under the seat in front of you.

  • Certain small service animals may be permitted to sit on your lap, if it can be done so safely.

  • Your service animal cannot block a space that must remain unobstructed for safety reasons (ex. an aisle or access to an emergency exit).

  • An airline is not required to upgrade you to a different class of service to accommodate your service animal.

  • Airlines cannot refuse to allow your service animal onboard because it makes other passengers or flight crew uncomfortable.

  • Your service animal must behave properly. An animal that engages in disruptive behavior (ex. barking or snarling, running around, and/or jumping onto other passengers, etc. without being provoked) will not be accepted as a service animal.
