SERVICE DOG
This was my question>>Does anyone know the Rules and Regulations for service dogs in this Country specifically?
Meanwhile I received some absurd health advise ...that reveal the mind of a 6 year old.......scam alerts ...and a lot of opinions on "Emotional Support Dogs"(which I do not even know what they are or might be)........
If anyone can possibly answer my question, I would be extremely grateful........Thank you in advance.

Let's keep on Topic. The OP is requesting information regarding rules/regulations for services dogs in the DR, nothing more.
Update>>I met with 2 of our Attorneys....(both general practitioners), neither one had any idea what I was talking about. In conclusion they said, that to their knowledge such laws do not exist here......
My consideration knows no bounds. I am a gentleman and would not expose people to my hobby. As I indicated, a service dog for the visually impaired is acceptable. The other conditions are a scam and amount to forcing people to embrace a hobby (pet). I am as adamant about it as I am with people who blast music. They think they are just "sharing" their music with others, when in fact they are imposing on them in a large way.
I'm kinda on your side but would make another exception for combat related stress. I never saw combat but my dad did. It changes you big time.
But in this case you were responding to a fellow dr1'er (potus) in a very flippant manner.
He has already talked to us about escalating problems with his eyesight.
Hence the reason for Arsen, his fully trained service dog, to be at his side.
He is not prancing around with a little chihuahua in his arms.
A little compassion wouldn't hurt.
The OP asked a specific question, if you have no information relative to his question then no need to post.
I wanted to let you know I saw your comment on my blog The Dominican Dog Blog. I asked a few of my dog rescue friends and am waiting for a response. So far 2 said they have no idea about the rules. If I hear anything I will make sure to post and let you know.
Just as was said. There are no specific laws here. I spoke with a lady what works training service dogs in DR. She said if you have a certified dog and need a service dog vest she can help. She also trains and can help you with info. I don't want to share her number in a public forum. You can message me and I will send you her contact ino.
