The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was and still is a historic piece of legislation that impacts any person with a disability and even the non-disabled people in their lives. However, not many people understand the full scope of this life-changing law.

Service dogs do incredible work and aid their owners in various life-changing ways. Because of this, the equipment they use should serve the same purpose so that they can continue to support their owners in invaluable ways.

If you're an individual with a disability, a service dog may change your life. 

Service dogs help their owners take back control of their life, from navigating transportation to fulfilling emotional needs, like therapy dogs.

Emotional support animals have been in the spotlight for several years, but they aren’t the only ones that can assist with mental and emotional disorders and disabilities. Psychiatric service dogs can help, too.

Psychiatric service dogs help their handlers with emotional or psychiatric disabilities, including depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or schizophrenia.
