Traveling with Service Animals

The book was easy to follow. Each mode of transportation is a separate section. While no one will know the dynamics of service dog team as well as the team themselves
it is good to have some general guidelines for traveling. This is especially helpful for those who want to travel with their service dog and never had. The authors often referred to ADA or other laws pertaining to rights for the disabled throughout the book.

The summary at the end of the chapter, which highlights important points in the chapter was especially helpful.

The real-life scenarios were a great way to emphasize a point and demonstrate how service dog teams traveled together. And how they solved problems that arose during traveling.

After reading this book I felt more prepared to travel with my service dog. I highly recommend.

This is a lovely informative book. This book would be helpful for both the disabled person and the family of the disabled person wishing to travel. I myself am disabled and I appreciate the planning it takes to ensure a trip is successful for both the traveler and the service animal. I do not have a service animal at this time but I do have a dog who is extremely important to my emotional health. We are able to RV at this time which has made travel easier for me. We do avoid travel without the RV because of the many restrictions involved in more than a short overnight stay. The real life stories were excellent. It did make me a little sad to know not all large airports have service animal relief stations after TSA check-in. The ADA information was also very helpful. Thank you for allowing me to review an advanced copy.

I thought this might be a book about people's experience of travelling with service animals, these being mostly dogs for people with disabilities, diabetes, blindness, etc. It's quite amazing what an incredible job these dogs can do, practically saving the lives of their owners simply by either licking skin or sniffing or doing tasks around the house or on the street.. This is in fact a manual explaining how people in these curcumstances can travel in any way of their choice or need with their service animal. So from this point of view the title is 100% spot on which I misunderstood. Having said that it was still a very interesting read and certainly eye opening.

I'm certain anyone that finds themselves needing the assistance of a service animal, venturing out in the world, must have a lot of stress and uncertainty regarding the logistics of what (they can do) and where their companions will be welcome. This is an invaluable guide of all the information you need to know prior to traveling. Henry Kisor explores the laws, rules, paperwork, antidotes and perceptions that surround traveling with service animals. Though this focuses on North America, it also touches on international travel as well. I loved the tone of this book and the acknowledgment that so many of the challenges can be positively overcome with patience and kindness as opposed to demands. The preparations for travel are quite extensive. Kisor has laid out nearly all the requirements and situations what need to be considered before travel begins. It's also really important to note that emotional support animals are not covered or protected by the laws and policies that are currently in effect-- and may not be supported. Anyone planning to travel with a service animal should read this book, research their destinations and be fully informed and prepared for the challenges that might arise. So many things to consider.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was very interesting. I have a service dog and so does my husband and since we both love to travel but have a. hard time separating from our pets knowing how this will be with our service animals was quite a comfort.

This book sets the standard for anyone who works with service animals, their handlers, or people in the travel industry.

Well researched, easy to follow, the authors set forth all the situations, best practices and protocols that provide the freedom and assistance needed for owners of service dogs. Whether traveling for business, pleasure, or everyday needs this is the ultimate guide.
