Because of the growing number of in-flight disturbances resulting from pets and service animal passengers, major airlines in the US have imposed new restrictions. Some airlines may ask for documentation from your physician prescribing your need for animal support.

United Airlines allows rabbits and birds in the passenger cabin but no longer accepts ferrets to be with their owners. On the other hand, Delta Airlines has adopted stricter rules in that they now refuse emotional support animals on flights that last more than 8 hours.

Just because these restrictions are in place, doesn’t mean you can no longer bring your assistance animal or pet with you. What you can do is check new exclusions for each airline and make sure to book early (because the number of animals on a flight are limited).

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.
