In the store’s service animal policy, a service animal is a dog or miniature horse that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks to assist an individual with a disability. Dogs, miniature horses, or other animals that provide only emotional support, comfort, or companionship are not considered service animals.
To prevent shoppers from claiming their pet is a service animal, the signs in the stores also remind that it is illegal to fraudulently misrepresent your pet.
