Service Animal Law in Delaware
Delaware law provides public access rights for service animals consistent with ADA requirements. Service dogs are permitted in all places of public accommodation.
ADA Rights Overview
Federal ADA Protection
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses and organizations that serve the public to allow service animals in all areas where members of the public are allowed.
Task-Trained Animals
Under the ADA, a service animal must be individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Dogs and miniature horses are recognized service animal species under federal law.
Two-Question Rule
Staff may ask only two questions: (1) Is this a service animal required because of a disability? (2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? No documentation, certification, or vest is legally required.
No Extra Fees
Businesses cannot charge extra fees or deposits for service animals, even if they charge fees for pets. The service animal handler is responsible for the animal's care and behavior at all times.
Public Access Rights in Delaware
Delaware prohibits interference with a service animal and its handler. Businesses may only ask the two ADA-permitted questions about service animal status.
