A service dog CAN wear just about anything the handler wants them to. SHOULD a service dog handler be presenting their dog in such a way...maybe not so much if they want to maintain a semi proffesional image with the public. The only thing a service dog HAS to wear is a collar or harness for restraint purposes, and a leash per the Americans with Disabilities Act. Anything else is optional according to the handlers needs and wishes.
