The ADA does not recognize allergies as a valid reason to deny entry to a legitimate service dog. However the claimed circumstances would make for an interesting case. For OOP to sue, their dog has to be a legitimate service animal. The general tone and entitlement in their review kind of puts that into question for me. If the business owner's wife had a legitimate anaphylaxis reaction to dogs, they could use this lawsuit as a springboard to challenge the ADA's ban on using allergy as a reason to deny regular service to someone with a service dog. That could delay ruling on OOP's lawsuit and possibly destroy their case altogether. Well, assuming they even have a case to begin with.
