The dog doesn't need to have anything on it to identify it as a service dog. As stated in a prior post, the only two things someone can ask you about is whether the dog is a service dog, and what service does the dog perform for you. If they ask you anything else, they could be violating Federal law.

You can't ask what service the dog performs for you. You can ask what the dog is trained to do. If it's trained to do 6 dozen things, and only is required to do 5 things for you, specifically, it's no one's business, and they aren't allowed to get that information.
You can offer it, but you're not required to tell them what it does "for you." You're only required to tell them what it was trained to do, for anyone.
