That's true, however, I think most airlines (for sure, Delta, AA, United, Jet Blue, Alaska, and Southwest):

1. Require non-service pets to be kept inside a carrier for the duration of the flight.

2. Charge customers that bring a pet, whereas service animals fly free.

I've seen a few non-service pets on flights, but I've seen service pets far more frequently (based on the fact that they were not in carriers).

They also limit the number of pets per flight. Or, they used to. Once it became fashionable to pretend pets are service animals my wife and I opted to drive or not bring the dogs with us, so I'm not sure if those rules still exist but I would assume they do. Prior to that it was actually great. Most people rarely even knew they were with us. Oh well.
