Role of CRTASA

My photo
Canadian Registry of Therapy Animal & Service Animals (CRTASA) is a centralized registry operating in Canada & US since 2010. It registers service & therapy animals and extends annual memberships to verified applicants that also receive a valid CRTASA Photo ID Card to readily confirm their rightful ownership of their official animal to a place of business. Service animals registered by CRTASA include guide dogs and other trained species (eg. helper monkeys, miniature seeing guide horses, etc..) CRTASA does not certify service animals - it only registers those already officially trained/certified to assist their owner with a disability. The standardized CRTASA Photo ID Card alleviates past confusion that variety of ID Cards (issued by different states, provinces and training facilities) posed for businesses across North America - many of whom were unfamiliar with the issuing body. CRTASA members also benefit from point of purchase discounts on animal products/services extended by participating CRTASA corporate fellows.

Excellent NEWS for Service Animal Owners with Guide dogs, handicapped assistance dogs, detection dogs and search and rescue dogs. For the month of May 2011, the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) is launching the 4th annual ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exam Event to help serve these dogs who dedicate their lives to serving the public and providing assistance to their owners.

More than 180 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists throughout the U.S., as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, traditionally elect to provide free sight-saving eye exams to thousands of service dogs.

Registration for service dog owners and handlers begins April 1, 2011. Visit the Pet News and Views website for more information by clicking on this link:
