Whether drive-thru medical services are funded and/or operated by the state, county, or city, or a private business, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the services are accessible to people with disabilities.

We have a fact sheet that lists considerations and strategies to promote accessibility at drive-thru medical sites, including those sites where patients may be asked to exit their vehicles. Review it here: https://adata.org/factsheet/accessibility-drive-thru-medical-sites

Do you know the two questions you’re allowed to ask in order to determine if an animal is a service animal and not a pet? To determine if an animal is a service animal, you may 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?
