Best Answer

Service dogs wear a vest so that they are easily identified. It is not required by the federal law, but it does make access easier. It also helps the dog differentiate from "work" and "play". When the vest is on - they are working. It is not ok, however, to put a vest on just any dog and claim that it is a service dog. That does a disservice to those who truly need the dog.

How are service animals trained?

Generallly they can be identified f they have a special harness or vest, although this is not required in all states, so service dogs must have some kind of ID indicating they are a service dog, the person they are with must also have an ID indicating they are allowed to handle service dogs/service dogs in training.


Are guide dogs required to wear identifing vests?

Guide dogs wear a special kind of harness to assist their vision impaired handlers, they do not wear a vest. However, other types of service dogs often do but they are not required to do so under federal law. But a disabled handler who does not use something to identify their dog as service dog is just asking for access problems and rude confrontations.

Where do you buy a service dog vest?

Remember that a vest doesn't make a dog a service dog. Claiming a dog is a service dog when you are not disabled, or when the dog is not individually trained to perform tasks that mitigate your disability is a criminal offense that can result in fines and or jail time. Most legitimate teams get their vests from the programs that train their dogs. Those who are qualified to train dogs for themselves (ie have the experience and skill), generally know where to get the gear.
