Q&A: Can you take your therapy dog anywhere?

Therapy dog owners can get confused about where they should take their furry friend. Before we answer the question, Can you take your therapy dog anywhere? first, you should know that therapy animals are not covered by the ADA, FHAA, and federal transportation regulations. 

So here's the answer:

Therapy dogs can go to places where pet dogs are allowed and locations that allow therapy dogs. These locations include schools, libraries, hospitals, and other health care facilities. However, note that each location must agree to have the therapy animal visit, but it is not obliged to grant access.
