Do you have a pet that supports you and wonder what counts as a service animal?
In Ontario, service animals are protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code and Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), but they do not require certification.
You must show that you have a disability and that the animal supports you. If the animal isn’t wearing a vest or harness, businesses may request documentation—such as a note from a regulated health professional or an ID card from the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General for people who are blind.
Understanding these rights helps create more accessible and inclusive spaces for everyone.
