Will my ESA be permitted to go into public businesses?

Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are not guaranteed access to public places under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This means restaurants, stores, hotels, and other public venues do not have to allow ESAs. However, some businesses may choose to allow them on a case-by-case basis, and reaching out in advance is always a good idea to avoid surprises. If you’re seeking broader access, such as air travel or public buildings, you may want to explore Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSDs), which require documented training.
