Are Service Dogs Just for Blind People?

Question: Are Service Dogs Just For Blind People?

Answer: No. Most people think that service dogs only assist blind individuals and may interchange the terms “service dogs” and “eye-seeing dogs.” Service dogs perform a variety of tasks for people with different disabilities. For example, a service dog can assist someone with PTSD by providing safety checks and interrupting self-mutilation. It can also provide hearing assistance for people with hearing impairments.

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.
