ServDog advocates for people with disabilities and their service animals.

Stand with them, and be the café on your block they choose. They plan ahead and look for places that say plainly that their dog is welcome. Our partners are the places we show them, and part of every partner’s fee goes to charity.

Monthly, cancel any time. $5 of every monthly fee goes to Canadian service-dog charities and animal rescues.

What this is

ServDog is a private registry. It is not a government agency, is not affiliated with any provincial program, the Canadian Transportation Agency, or the ADA, and registration does not create or confer any legal rights. Registration is not required anywhere in Canada.

Why it works

People with service dogs decide where to go before they leave home. Be the answer they find.

Most places never say whether a service dog is welcome. A ServDog partner says it out loud: on our site, on our social accounts, and in your window.

In 2022, 27.0% of Canadians aged 15 and over, or 8.0 million people, had at least one disability.

ServDog visited

“Nobody makes it awkward.”

Mutual Street Perks Café is one of the places the founder and his dog, Tiger, stop on a walk. Tiger comes inside with him, or they sit outside. The staff are warm with him, there are treats on hand, and other dogs come and go without any fuss. That easy welcome is what we want every person with a service dog to find.

Mutual Street Perks Café is a ServDog founding partner. Named with their permission.
