Question: Can your service animal accompany you in the operating room?

Answer: A service animal may accompany its disabled owner/handler to any public spaces of general accommodation. These would be places where the owner/handler has access, such as libraries, schools, restaurants, movie theaters, etc., unless there is a particular health hazard such as in a hospital operating room. The presence of the animal would alter the sterile environment.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
