In today’s Q&A, we will be answering whether your emotional support animal is allowed to go with you to public spaces of general accommodation. Here is the answer:

An emotional support animal does not have the legal right to accompany its owner to public places like schools, libraries, restaurants, and more. Under federal laws, only service animals (dogs and miniature horses) have public access rights.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet today. 

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.
