Dining With Service Dogs

This is an information website about the legal rights that allow service dogs into restaurant according to the Americans With Disability Act (ADA) federal law.

Our mission

At "Dining with Dogs" , we believe everyone with a disability deserves a dining experience filled with dignity, comfort, and respect—especially those who rely on service dogs.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with disabilities are legally allowed to bring their trained service dogs into restaurants and other public spaces. Service dogs are not just pets; they are working animals specially trained to assist with tasks related to their handler’s disability. By law, these dogs are permitted to accompany their owners anywhere the public is allowed to go, including restaurants, cafés, and outdoor patios.

To help clarify common questions, here’s what defines a service animal under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Not all dogs in public spaces qualify as service animals, and it's important to understand the difference.

Service animals are:

Dogs
Any breed and any size of dog
Trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability

Service animals are not:

Required to be certified or go through a professional training program
Required to wear a vest or other ID that indicates they’re a service dog
Emotional support or comfort dogs, because providing emotional support or comfort is not a task related to a person’s disability
