What's in the kit
Everything is digital and available immediately after checkout. Nothing is mailed, nothing is “registered,” and nothing expires.
1. Printable ID card
Designed to be helpful, not official-looking. It carries your name, your animal's name, species and photo, a line stating whether the animal is a trained service dog or an emotional support animal, and — on the back — the two questions a business may ask under the ADA and the equivalent guidance for Canada. It also states, in plain text, that the card is identification only and does not certify anything.
Why carry one at all? Many handlers find that calmly handing over a card that says “here's what you may ask me” de-escalates access disputes faster than arguing. It also helps third-party handlers, family members and emergency responders identify the animal.
2. Rights guide — United States and Canada
A plain-English guide (October 2026 edition) covering:
- US federal: ADA (public places), Fair Housing Act (housing, incl. ESAs), Air Carrier Access Act (flights) — what each requires and what documentation each allows.
- US states: which states expand the federal definition, which cover animals in training, and every state with misrepresentation penalties.
- Canada federal: Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (planes, trains, ferries) and the 48-hour notice and training-proof rules.
- Canada provinces and territories: how human-rights codes protect you, which provinces certify dogs (BC, Alberta, Nova Scotia), Ontario's health-professional letter rule, and the gaps elsewhere.
- What you can be asked, what you can refuse, and how to file a complaint.
3. Templates
- Housing reasonable-accommodation request (US FHA version and Canadian human-rights version).
- Health-professional letter outline — a structure your own clinician can use so the letter contains what landlords are allowed to look for. We do not provide clinicians and do not write letters.
- Airline 48-hour pre-notice checklist (US DOT form reference, Canadian carrier requirements).
- One-page business handout: “What you may ask a service dog handler.”
4. Penalties and fraud reference
A table of every US state and Canadian province with laws against misrepresenting an animal, with the penalty and a link to the statute.
