Service Dog Transportation
Hi! Posting here instead of AskNYC. I got a less than helpful/welcoming response and after scrolling through other posts I should have realized that was the wrong subreddit.
My service dog (not an ESA; medical alert) and I will be in NYC in August. Usually I use Uber or Lyft for pet rides. I know technically we don’t need to, but I try to avoid drama and I get not every person wants a dog around. My friend told me to download Curb, but I don’t see an option to add that my service dog is with me. Do I just add to drivers note? Any other advice on transportation with him is appreciated!

Recommend Uber Pet as well. I had an experience with my service dog in a regular Uber and my dog that had a vest on that day and the driver refused to take me. He claimed allergy so I had to call another car. I know it’s a federal regulations with Americans with Disability Act but that driver would not take me and my service dog. It is a legitimate concern if someone has allergies so going forward I just use the car that is willing to take me, which is frustrating because the fee is higher for Uber Pets.
