Do I Need a Service Dog Quiz

Example Questions From the Test

  • Mostly at home, where I am primarily seeking comfort rather than a trained action.
  • Consistently across places where I carry out essential activities, including some locations where pets are normally excluded.
  • Mainly in pet-friendly settings because taking a companion along would help emotionally.
