Do I need a Service Dog Vest for public access?

Under the ADA, a vest is not legally required, but many handlers use Service Dog vests to make identification easier and help others recognize that the dog is working.

How do I choose the right size?

Small vests fit dogs under 25 lbs or up to 23 inches in girth, while Large vests fit dogs over 25 lbs or 23 to 42 inches in girth. See the sizing chart on this page for measuring instructions.

What should I look for in a Service Dog vest?

Look for a Service Dog vest that fits comfortably, is made from durable materials, and clearly identifies your dog as a working Service Dog. Colorful, bold patches can make the vest easier to recognize and help communicate that your dog is working.

What color should a Service Dog wear?

There is no official ADA-mandated color for Service Dog vests. Red and blue are common choices, but handlers may choose any color. The important consideration is choosing a vest that clearly identifies the dog as a working Service Dog.

What patches should I have on my Service Dog Vest?

The ADA does not require specific patches, but many handlers use patches such as Service Dog - Do Not Pet, Full Access, or disability-specific identifiers. Patches can help clearly identify a working Service Dog and communicate important information to people nearby.
