How it works

A record you keep. Nothing more is claimed.

ServDog is a place to keep your dog’s record and show it when it helps. Here is exactly what it does, step by step.

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.

  1. Create the record

    Call name and category are the only things required. Everything else — breed, date of birth, microchip number, photo — you can add whenever you like, or never. Free, and it stays free.

  2. Get a registration number and QR code

    The number is permanent and yours. The QR code opens your dog’s public page, and you download it as an image to use however you want.

  3. Keep the Taskbook

    Record what your dog is trained to do, what starts each task, when it was trained, and the hours behind it. Pick from the common tasks or write your own. Export it as a PDF whenever you need to hand it to someone.

  4. Store the documents that matter

    Veterinary records, training certificates, a document from your health care provider. Private to your account, served through short-lived links, never public.

    Private. Never on the public page.

  5. If you want it: the card, and the tag

    The card is the code, the photo, the name and the number on one card — for a wallet, printed and laminated. With it, a refusal letter is written from your record. $49.95 once. The engraved tag is not on sale yet.

  6. Keep it on your home screen

    Add the site to your home screen and At the door opens straight onto the rule where you are, with your dog’s record under it — no signal needed, nothing to download. One control turns the screen over to the person asking.

What a scan shows

Someone who scans the code sees your dog’s registration number and status, and the date it was registered unless you switch that off. Everything else — the photo, the call name, the category, the breed, your first name, your city and province, and an emergency contact — is a switch you control, and a field you switch off is never sent to their browser at all.

Your documents, your dog’s microchip number and date of birth are never on that page under any setting.

The Taskbook is the one exception, and only if you ask for it. Two switches, both off by default: “show tasks” on the dog, and “show on profile” on each task. Turn both on and a visitor sees that task’s name and description, and nothing else from the Taskbook — no dates, hours, trainer, proficiency, video or disability-related need.

What it does not do

It does not change what a business may ask you, what a landlord must allow, or what an airline will accept. Those are set by the law where you live, and we have written up every province and territory. Where your province runs a government program, apply to it — it is the document that carries weight.

Three things worth saying plainly, because they do not change whatever we build. Registration is not required anywhere in Canada. There is no national standard for service dogs in Canada, which is why every answer here is given province by province. And we do not sell clinician letters: a letter that carries weight comes from someone who knows you.
