You already know that a service animal should be a dog or a miniature horse, and that no other type of animal qualifies. But when it comes to tasks, some people wonder, “How many tasks can a service animal be trained to do?”

Here’s the answer:

A service animal is trained to perform a specific task (any task) that helps an individual with a disability. For example, detecting abnormal blood sugar levels or helping the blind person navigate. Many service animals are trained for multiple purposes (“cross training”).
