Department of Transportation Changes Emotional Support, Service Animal Guidelines for Airlines

The Department of Transportation has changed its guidelines with regards to service and emotional support animals on airlines. Airlines are now not required to accommodate emotional support animals, psychiatric service animals, or any service animal except for service dogs--including miniature horses or Capuchin monkeys. For the full breakdown of the changes, check out the DOT's comments here.
