What ServDog 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.
- Nothing we issue conveys rights.
- There is no national standard for service dogs in Canada.
- We do not sell clinician letters.
