Trained service animals are welcome in sleeping rooms, common areas, and convention space. Pets and emotional support animals are strictly prohibited on the convention floor, however.

Service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are animals that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Beginning on March 15, 2011, only dogs are registered as service animals under Titles II and III of the ADA, the exceptions to this rule are miniature ponies who are grandfathered in if they were working prior to the March 15, 2011 date. Service animals are allowed to accompany their handlers anywhere that members of the public are allowed to go, including all areas of the convention center. 

Handlers of service animals are responsible for the care and supervision of their animals and must ensure that their animals do not disrupt the convention or pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others. Service animals are not required to be licensed, nor is the owner required to disclose the reason for the accommodation. When asked, an owner may simply explain that the animal is a service animal and is performing work for medical purposes. 

Service animals that need to be relieved can be done outside in public green spaces, but service animal handlers/owners are required by Milwaukee law to clean up after their service animal.
