Any comments on this?

This subject is a very touchy matter especially for blinded Veterans who
need their guide dogs for travel.

I have to see what the laws are in Minnesota for guide dogs. Thank you for
this information.

 

I have been a guide dog user for 24 years, and it has always been common
knowledge that health certificates were not required on domestic flights, as
per the airlines.  This is different in that this state, Michigan, has
written laws governing import of animals into the state, and has opted to
include traveling service animals as subject to these laws.  This is not
hearsay, as I talked with the Dr. heading the program there with the
/dept.,. of Agriculture.

Paul,

 

I will be interested to see if anyone with a Service Animal actually is
stopped. Are these types of regulations common for transferring common
domestic animals between other states? I only ask as I have no experience
with this type of requirements.

 

Thank you for your assistance,
