1) Service dogs are not required by law to wear vests, and any service dog that is wearing a vest got it from the internet.  Wearing or not wearing a vest is not an indication that a dog is a working service dog.

I've been thinking for years that they need to make service dogs wear something official, or make the owner wear something. There are official disabled placards that people have to display on their cars for parking, so there's no reason why they can't be done for service animals. That would make it easier for people that work at stores....no badge, decal or placard, no entry! [/quote]

I am the PP you quoted, and I agree this might be a solution.  People would need medical documentation that they need a service dog and the dog would need to undergo an evaluation. But the fact is that this doesn’t currently exist.  So judging a handler based on whether their dog wears a vest that is available to anyone on the internet and isn’t required isn’t OK.[/quote]

The post I read said there should/could be such a thing.  I agree.

Mind you it would probably be enforced about as well as handicapped parking.

Actual service dogs undergo extensive training.  I think there could be something the dog wears that is issued similar to how a parking placard is issued.[/quote]

I agree that there could be, but there isn't.  So, saying "that dog isn't a service dog because it doesn't have this thing that I think should exist but doesn't" is ridiculous.

OP seems to be judging people for not having something they have no way of getting.  [/quote][/quote]
