suzyluvs2cruise Posted December 3, 2020 #27 Share Posted December 3, 2020 IMHO a good part of the problem is how pets.....especially dogs....are now allowed just about everywhere and treated more like a member of the family or a celebrity. I've had dogs so not anti-dog but would never have thought to take my dog to the grocery store and put him in the seat of the shopping cart like many do now. Nor would I dress him up and parade him around in a stroller on a cruise ship or at a restaurant or at a store. I do agree that taking a dog who can't walk well in a stroller for a walk outside is a great thing to do but think a lot of what people are doing with their dogs has gone a bit far. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t stay at hotels that are pet friendly either. You really have no idea if the hotels or cruise cabins you stay in have had a dog in them or not. They HAVE to allow service dogs which by the way, are not "pets". 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted December 3, 2020 #33 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Even hotels that aren't pet friendly have to accept a service dog, or be in violation of ADA. You have no way of knowing if a dog was in your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances of a service dog in non-pet friendly hotel is slim whereas pet friendly hotels are invitations bring your pets along. Sad to say some owners don’t care what their pets do especially when not in their homes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, when traveling with my son and his dog, we avoid pet friendly hotels for that same reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to clarify, my son’s PTSD is not from combat. He is medically unable to serve though he would have loved to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a privet company thats making a change to the rules, it’s the government that made the change. ADA is a law. DOT makes regulations. Unless Congress changes the law, DOT regulations have to follow the law. Or they will be invalidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA.
