Legislation in The Netherlands

Summary

In the Netherlands the access of assistance dogs is not regulated by law. In many public places and areas it is possible to bring your assistance dog, but please be aware it is a matter of 'good practice' and not of legislation.
Public transport is free of charge for assistance dogs.
In many communities the assistance dog owner does not have to pay local taxes.
