About Your Pet

Let׳s meet your bestie 🙂

Do you currently own a pet?(Required)

Yes, a dog

Yes, a cat

Note: if you have more than one pet, we recommend picking your dog as your support animal, as it will open up more possibilities, such as allowing you to fly with your dog in the cabin of an airplane, free of charge.

Pet Name(Required)

Is this your first time applying for an ESA or PSD letter?(Required)

In short, an ESA letter certifies that you require an emotional support animal for mental health benefits, allowing you to keep your dog in your house or apartment with no extra fees (even if the landlord usually forbids pets or charges extra fees) .

A PSD (Psychiatric Service Dog) recommendation letter, in addition to all the benefits of an ESA letter, will also allow you to fly with your dog in the cabin of an airplane, free of charge.

At the end of this questionnaire you will find out if you're eligible for an ESA or PSD.

Yes

The Process is Simple:

Getting your ESA or PSD letter is easy:

1️⃣ Find out if you're eligible for a PSD or ESA by completing this quick questionnaire.
2️⃣ We match you with the best licensed therapist registered in your state.
3️⃣ Pick a time for a short video call with our licensed therapists
4️⃣ Get your ESA or PSD letter within 48 hours after the call.

💡 Landlords and airlines must provide reasonable accommodations. 🏠 According to the Fair Housing Act your dog must be allowed in housing without pet fees. 🛫 Airlines must allow PSDs in the cabin without fees under the Air Carrier Access Act. They may require a certification form proving the dog’s legitimacy, training, and behavior - check specific airline policies before booking your flight.

🛡️ If your letter is not approved, we will refund 100% of your payment.

Where did you hear about us?(Required)

You were recommended by my veterinarian

You were referred by my healthcare provider

Recommended by a friend or family member who got a letter from you

I’ve trained my dog with your classes (I’m one of your 52,241 happy customers!)

Read about it online

Do you need the letter to cover housing?(Required)

✋ No

✋ No, but I’d like housing to be covered, just in case

🏙️ Yes, for an apartment

🏠 Yes, for a house

💡 Good to know: all our ESA and PSD letters...

🏘️ Cover all housing arrangements, such as rentals, and college dorms.

🏨 Enforced by AirBnB and other vacation rentals.

🏠 Legally enforced by the Fair Housing Act.

✅ All our letters are Fair Housing Act compliant:

🪪 📝 Compliant letters include the clinician's license number, contact information, and letterhead.

🏠 ☑️ The Fair Housing Act requires all landlords to accept compliant letters.

Would you like to be able to travel with your dog in the airline's cabin at no extra cost?(Required)

👋 No

🛫 Yes, in the next two weeks

💺 Yes, in the next four weeks

🗺️ Yes, in the next 6 months

🛩️ Yes, sometime in the future

⛔ Important:

🛄 The key difference between ESA and PSD letters is that ESA letters only provide housing benefits while PSD letters provide BOTH housing and travel benefits.

While airlines are not required to allow ESAs on flights, they are legally required to allow trained psychiatric service dogs (PSD) on flights.

📝 At the end of this questionnaire, you will find out if you’re eligible for a letter from us.

🐕 If you are eligible, we will also provide our online ESA / PSD training workshop for free ($97 Value), so you can have peace of mind about taking your dog anywhere.

Our online workshop is designed to help any dog (regardless of the breed) become as obedient as a service dog, and is the only training that makes the specialized techniques of the service dog training industry accessible to regular pet owners for free.

Are you nervous about presenting your ESA or PSD letter?(Required)
