    About the ScreeningSobre la Evaluación

    What qualifies someone for a service dog under the Americans with Disabilities Act?¿Qué califica a alguien para un perro de servicio bajo la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades?
    Under the ADA, you qualify if you have a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities, AND your dog is individually trained to perform specific work or tasks that mitigate that disability. The dog must be more than a comfort companion — it must do something specific for you.Bajo la ADA, usted califica si tiene una discapacidad física, sensorial, psiquiátrica o intelectual que limite sustancialmente una o más actividades importantes de la vida, Y su perro está entrenado individualmente para realizar trabajo o tareas específicas que mitiguen esa discapacidad.
    What is the two-question rule that business owners can ask about my service dog?¿Cuál es la regla de las dos preguntas que los dueños de negocios pueden hacer sobre mi perro de servicio?
    Under the ADA, public-facing businesses may only ask two questions: (1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? (2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? They cannot ask about your specific diagnosis, request documentation or certification, demand the dog demonstrate the task, or ask for proof of training. These limits protect handler privacy.Bajo la ADA, los negocios solo pueden hacer dos preguntas: (1) ¿El perro es un animal de servicio requerido debido a una discapacidad? (2) ¿Qué trabajo o tarea ha sido entrenado para realizar el perro? No pueden preguntar sobre su diagnóstico, solicitar documentación, exigir que el perro demuestre la tarea, ni pedir prueba de entrenamiento.
    Can my landlord charge a pet deposit, pet rent, or pet fee for my service dog?¿Puede mi arrendador cobrar un depósito o renta de mascota por mi perro de servicio?
    No. Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords cannot charge pet deposits, pet rent, monthly pet fees, or any extra cost for service dogs. The HUD guidance is explicit: service animals are not pets. Landlords can still charge you for actual damages your dog causes — but they cannot impose preventative fees.No. Bajo la Ley de Vivienda Justa, los arrendadores no pueden cobrar depósitos de mascotas, renta de mascotas ni tarifas mensuales por perros de servicio. La guía de HUD es explícita: los animales de servicio no son mascotas. Los arrendadores pueden cobrar por daños reales que cause su perro, pero no pueden imponer tarifas preventivas.
    What types of tasks can service dogs be trained to perform besides guide work?¿Qué tipos de tareas pueden ser entrenados los perros de servicio para realizar?
    Service dogs assist with mobility (bracing, retrieving, opening doors), medical alerts (diabetic alert, seizure response, allergen detection), psychiatric tasks (panic interruption, deep pressure therapy, room search for PTSD), hearing alerts, autism support (behavior interruption, social engagement), and many other specific tasks. The task must be directly tied to mitigating a disability — emotional support alone does not qualify.Los perros de servicio asisten con movilidad (apoyo, recuperar objetos, abrir puertas), alertas médicas (alerta de diabetes, respuesta a convulsiones), tareas psiquiátricas (interrupción de pánico, terapia de presión profunda), alertas auditivas, apoyo al autismo, y muchas otras tareas específicas.
    Do service dogs in training have the same legal protections as fully-trained service dogs?¿Los perros de servicio en entrenamiento tienen las mismas protecciones legales que los completamente entrenados?
    Federal ADA protection only applies to fully trained service dogs, NOT to service dogs in training. However, many states have their own laws extending public access rights to service dogs in training when accompanied by their trainer. Check your specific state law. Housing protection under the Fair Housing Act treats trained and in-training service dogs more similarly.La protección federal de la ADA solo se aplica a perros de servicio completamente entrenados, NO a perros en entrenamiento. Sin embargo, muchos estados tienen sus propias leyes que extienden derechos de acceso público a perros de servicio en entrenamiento. Consulte la ley específica de su estado.
    Can businesses ask for documentation, registration, or certification for my service dog?¿Pueden las empresas solicitar documentación, registro o certificación para mi perro de servicio?
    No. The ADA explicitly prohibits public-facing businesses from requesting documentation, ID cards, registration papers, certification, or proof of training. No federal registry exists. Any company that tells you that you MUST have a service dog certificate is misinformed — those are convenience tools, not legal requirements. However, landlords and airlines may request documentation under different laws (FHA and ACAA).No. La ADA prohíbe explícitamente que los negocios soliciten documentación, tarjetas de identificación, papeles de registro o certificación. No existe registro federal. Cualquier compañía que diga que DEBE tener un certificado está mal informada. Sin embargo, los arrendadores y las aerolíneas pueden solicitar documentación bajo diferentes leyes.
    What is the DOT Service Animal Air Transportation Form and when do I need it?¿Qué es el formulario del DOT para Animales de Servicio en transporte aéreo y cuándo lo necesito?
    Since 2021, all U.S. airlines require the DOT Service Animal Air Transportation Form for service dogs and psychiatric service dogs flying domestically. It must be submitted at least 48 hours before your flight. The form attests that your dog is trained, vaccinated, and behaves appropriately. TheraPetic® Premium and Ultimate packages include this form pre-completed by a Licensed Clinical Doctor and delivered same-day.Desde 2021, todas las aerolíneas estadounidenses requieren el formulario del DOT para perros de servicio. Debe enviarse al menos 48 horas antes de su vuelo. El formulario certifica que su perro está entrenado, vacunado y se comporta apropiadamente. Los paquetes TheraPetic® Premium y Ultimate incluyen este formulario precompletado.
    Can my service dog be denied entry to a restaurant because of customer allergies or fear of dogs?¿Puede mi perro de servicio ser negado en un restaurante por alergias o miedo a los perros?
    No. Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons to deny access to a service dog under the ADA. If accommodating both individuals is difficult, the business should try to seat them in different areas of the same space — but they cannot exclude your service dog. Severe medical concerns may warrant case-by-case accommodation but cannot result in blanket denial.No. Las alergias y el miedo a los perros no son razones válidas para negar el acceso a un perro de servicio bajo la ADA. Si acomodar a ambas personas es difícil, el negocio debe intentar sentarlas en diferentes áreas — pero no pueden excluir a su perro de servicio.
    What is the difference between a service dog, therapy dog, and emotional support animal?¿Cuál es la diferencia entre un perro de servicio, perro de terapia y animal de apoyo emocional?
    A service dog is task-trained for one specific handler with a disability and has ADA public access rights. A therapy dog visits hospitals, schools, and nursing homes to provide comfort to many people but has no public access rights. An emotional support animal provides comfort through presence for one owner but is not task-trained and is only protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act, not for public access.Un perro de servicio está entrenado en tareas para un manejador con discapacidad y tiene derechos de acceso público ADA. Un perro de terapia visita hospitales y escuelas para brindar consuelo pero no tiene derechos de acceso público. Un animal de apoyo emocional brinda consuelo a un dueño pero no está entrenado en tareas.
    What happens if my service dog has a bad day and behaves poorly in public?¿Qué pasa si mi perro de servicio tiene un mal día y se comporta mal en público?
    Under the ADA, a service dog can be asked to leave a business if it is out of control (barking, lunging, running loose) and the handler cannot effectively control it, OR if it is not housebroken. The handler must be given the opportunity to obtain goods or services without the animal. One bad day does not strip your dog's status — but persistent disruption can result in being asked to leave that specific business.Bajo la ADA, un perro de servicio puede ser pedido que se vaya si está fuera de control y el manejador no puede controlarlo, O si no está entrenado en casa. Al manejador se le debe dar la oportunidad de obtener bienes o servicios sin el animal. Un mal día no le quita el estatus de su perro.
