Mission Pawpose
Life of Service Animals and the Humans Who Need Them
At Dogmiles, we believe in unleashing a world where service animals and their humans can travel with ease, comfort, and confidence. Born mid-flight—literally—our company took off once we conquered the whirlwind of packing, planning, and navigating airports with a service animal by our side. Our mission is simple: to help humans register and travel with their service animals while clearing up myths and tackling the unnecessary hurdles that often come with it.
With an unwavering commitment to keeping things paws-itively simple, we’ve done the heavy lifting: researching, compiling forms, building relationships, and ensuring all necessary registrations are ready to serve service animal owners across the globe.
What Exactly Is a Service Animal?
Service animals are more than pets; they’re life-changing companions trained to perform specific tasks that assist humans with disabilities. While most service animals are dogs, miniature horses (yes, it’s real!) can also qualify under certain guidelines.
What counts as a disability? That’s not for us—or anyone—to judge. Disabilities aren’t always visible, and under federal law, no one is allowed to ask for specifics about your condition. What they can ask is simple:
- Is the animal required because of a disability? (Yes/no)
- What tasks or work has the animal been trained to perform?
(And no, they can’t ask for proof or demonstrations.)
Remember, saying, “I don’t feel comfortable answering” is a perfectly valid response.
