WHY PREPARATION MATTERS

Service animal access is not an unusual situation anymore.

73.4 million
U.S. adults reported having a disability in CDC data.
28.7%
More than one in four U.S. adults.
43.9%
Disability prevalence reported among adults age 65 and older.
8,667
Federal ADA Title III lawsuits filed or removed in 2025 across all Title III issues.

Not every person with a disability needs or uses a service animal. But as tens of millions of Americans live with mobility, cognitive, sensory, psychiatric, neurological, and other disabilities, businesses should expect interactions with service animal handlers to be an ordinary part of serving the public.

Disability is also increasingly visible among younger adults. Meanwhile, the broader ADA Title III litigation landscape remains significant. Seyfarth Shaw counted 8,667 federal Title III lawsuits in 2025, more than three times its 2013 count. That figure covers all Title III issues and is not limited to service animal access.

The question for a business is not whether an employee will eventually encounter a service animal. It is whether that employee will know what to do when it happens. A clear service animal policy gives employees an answer before they are standing at the front counter trying to figure it out.

Badges and certificates

PawPass badges are platform participation signals. They help customers understand whether a listing is claimed, Access Ready, Service Dog Ready, or award-reviewed. They are not legal findings, government approvals, or guarantees of future experiences.

Workplace access awareness

The business portal is built to support calmer staff decisions, clearer documentation, and better customer conversations around service dog teams and public dog interactions.

Questions businesses ask

Is PawPass trying to punish businesses?
No. PawPass is designed to make access experiences easier to understand and easier to address. The goal is trust, clarity, and better customer confidence.
Can a free claimed business read feedback?
Yes. A free claimed account can see access experience reports tied to the listing and submit a factual response or dispute.
Can a free claimed business respond to an Access Concern?
Yes. Reading, responding to, disputing, and reporting an Access Concern are free. A business never has to buy a subscription, course, or policy to participate in the concern process. Optional education is offered separately.
What makes Service Dog Ready different?
Service Dog Ready is a yearly private recognition program. Businesses must maintain a written policy, provide the employee guide, complete the knowledge check and attestations, and maintain an eligible PawPass profile before the dated badge is activated.
Supportive, not legalistic
PawPass helps businesses organize community feedback, education, and trust signals. It does not make official ADA determinations or replace legal advice.
