Handlers & Subscribers

We guide, educate and advocate for those who depend on assistance animals daily. As a handler it is important to know the type of assistance animal prescribed and the rights of access to reduce the potential to commit service dog fraud due to misinformation. It is also important for the handler to have a well-trained assistance animal especially if it will have increased public access.

Our veterinary consultants focus on supporting individuals using assistance animals. Our consultants provide veterinary oversight and guidance to the handler for their assistance animal. It is important to speak with our expert veterinary consultants so they can address the health and welfare of the assistance animal. Our veterinary consultants will provide sound professional guidance and advice to the handler of the assistance animal.
