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.
Register your dog. Carry the answer.
A registration number, a card for your phone that shows what your dog is and what it is trained to do, a dated log of its training — and Scout, an assistant that tells you what to do at a door, for your province, from the law. The record and Scout are free. The card is a one-off purchase.
Owner-trained or school-trained. Service dogs, guide dogs and emotional support animals. Canada only, for now.

Meet Scout. Ask it at the door.
You are standing outside a restaurant with your dog and someone is saying no. Open ServDog, ask Scout what to do, and get the answer for your province — what they may ask, what you show, and what to do if it still goes wrong.
Thirteen jurisdictions, each with its own rule. Say the province or the city and Scout answers for that one.
Every answer names the page it came from. If we haven't verified it, Scout says so instead of guessing.
Signed in, Scout knows what your dog is registered as, its province and what's in its Taskbook, and answers for that dog.
Landlords, airlines, the US border, a complaint deadline — the questions people actually have, answered plainly.
Scout is for account holders. Registering is free and takes five minutes.
Who this is for
Three people we built it for. If you are one of them, the record earns its place the first week.
You trained your dog yourself
No school will ever vouch for you, so your own log is the only record that will exist. A log kept as the training happened is evidence. The same log typed up the week a landlord says no is an account.
You are preparing for a provincial assessment
Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia assess a working team. Arriving with your hours and tasks written down is a different experience from arriving with an estimate. Our record is what you bring to them, not a substitute.
Your paperwork is everywhere
Your clinician's letter in an email, the vet's records at the vet, the trainer's paperwork in a drawer. A rental viewing or a boarding desk is the worst place to find out you cannot find them.
The record
Everything below comes with a free account. No subscription, no renewal, nothing that expires.
Register your dog — freeA registration number
Durable and yours. It does not change when you move provinces, change vets, or change phones.
A QR profile you control
Anyone who scans sees what you have chosen to show — name, photo, status, and what your dog is trained to do if you switch it on. Or nothing at all. Your documents never appear.
The Taskbook
A dated entry for every task: what it does, why you need it, when it became reliable, who trained it, and the hours behind it. Exportable as a PDF.
One place for the documents
Your health care provider's letter, your provincial card if you hold one, vaccination and veterinary records, your trainer's paperwork. Private to you, ready when someone asks.
The registration card
The thing you show at a door instead of explaining yourself. Your dog is registered, its training is on record, and this is what it does.
On the card: your dog’s photo and name, the classification you recorded, its registration number, a code that opens the public profile, and — if you have switched it on — what it is trained to do. It lives on your phone and it lives on paper.
Approval from Apple and Google is still in progress, so the passes are not available yet. Everything else below works today.
PDF and image, for your phone's photos or to send ahead.
A print-ready sheet, two to a page, for a card in the harness pocket.
Change a task or a photo in your account and the card follows.
What it is: a record you keep, shown as what it is. “This is my registry record” is the whole sentence.
What it is not: a government certificate. Where your province issues one — Alberta, BC, Nova Scotia — carry that too.
Every province, from the source
Thirteen jurisdictions and 14 guides, each quoting the statute or the commission it came from, with the date it was last checked.
Laws by provinceWritten up, not summarised
What a business may ask in Ontario. Why the airline definition catches owner-trained teams. Which province charges $50 for an assessment and which one $200. The deadline for a human rights complaint in every province. Each claim quotes its source.
And Scout, for the question you actually have
An assistant that answers only from pages we have verified, names the page it drew from, and says “that isn’t covered yet” when it isn’t — rather than guessing. For account holders.

Four things we will always tell you
Because a registry that will not say them is selling you something else.
Registration is not required anywhere in Canada.Not by any province, not by any airline, not by us. What a record does is answer questions.
Nothing we issue conveys a legal right.Your rights come from your province's law and exist whether or not you have ever heard of us.
There is no national standard.Anyone who tells you their card is "nationally recognized" is describing something that does not exist. Where your province runs a program, apply there.
We do not sell clinician letters.A letter that carries weight comes from a health care professional who knows you. We have never met you and cannot write one.
The questions people arrive with
Do I need to register my service dog?
No. Registration is not required anywhere in Canada, and no card from anyone changes what a business may ask you. What a record does is answer the question before it becomes an argument.
Read the full answerIs this a scam?
Selling a card is not a scam. Selling the idea that a card grants rights is. We sell a record and a card, and we say plainly what neither one does.
How to tell the differenceWill an airline accept the card?
Airlines may ask for a document from the organisation that trained your dog. Ours is not that document, and we will not tell you it is. What the record does is hold the answers the airline's form asks for.
Flying with a service dog in CanadaWhat can a business ask me?
It depends on the province. In most, whether the dog is trained to assist you with a disability. In Ontario, a letter from a regulated health professional. In Alberta, BC and Nova Scotia, the provincial card if you hold one.
Province by provinceService dog, ESA or therapy dog — which is mine?
Rights attach to categories, not to how much your dog helps you. A trained task for your own disability is the line between a service dog and an emotional support animal.
The five categories, explainedWhat if I'm refused entry?
Show the record first. If that doesn't end it, stay brief, get names, write it down that evening — and then there are three routes, with a deadline on each.
What to do after a refusalStart the record today. The card is there when you want it.
Registering takes five minutes: your dog’s name, a photo, and what it is trained to do. The date you start is the date your record starts, and that date is worth more the earlier it is.
