Make My Pet an Emotional Support Animal

By making your pet dog or cat an emotional support animal (ESA,) you can  live with your dog or cat in residential housing without paying pet rent or a pet deposit of any sort, even in housing that normally prohibits pets or pets of your ESA’s type.

To make your dog or cat an emotional support animal (ESA), all you need is a doctor’s letter stating two things:

1) That you have a mental or emotional disability or disorder
2) That an ESA may help alleviate some of the symptoms of that disability or disorder

You can use the telemedicine services of Certifymypet to speak with a doctor and get that letter. We also provide FREE ID card backed up by 24/7 animal verification giving you total peace of mind that you and your ESA can enjoy your rights without unnecessary delays and hassles.

Make My Dog a Service Dog

Making your dog into a service dog is not super complicated, as long as you qualify for a service dog and your dog can be trained as a service dog.

The first step is to make sure you qualify. In order to qualify for a service dog, you must have a diagnosis for one or more physical or psychiatric disabilities or disorders. These can include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Anxiety disorders
- Chronic pain
- Hearing impairment
- Migraines
- Mobility Issues
- Nervous habits
- Panic attacks, seizures
- PTSD
- Substance abuse
- Visual Impairment
- Other physical and mental disabilities

While you do not need to obtain a doctor’s note to have a service dog or present a doctor’s note to anyone in order to access a facility with your service dog (exception : international flights), a diagnosis for a qualifying condition is still required, and if your qualifications for a service dog are ever called into question, having this diagnosis in your possession (or, at least, accessible) can be invaluable. At the end of the day, however, as long as you qualify, you can have a service dog.

If you do not yet have a qualifying diagnosis, you can speak with a doctor provided by Certifymypet to obtain one.

Once you have your qualifying diagnosis, the only other thing you need to turn your dog into a service dog is to train the dog in the specific tasks he or she will perform to help you with your diagnosed disability or disorder. The tasks must be directly related to your disability or disorder and the dog must perform them consistently on command (or other cue) in order for your dog to qualify as a service dog. You can either do this training yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. All service dogs must also be trained in basic obedience, including avoiding urinating or defecating except in designated places, avoiding excessive barking, whimpering or other distracting or obstructive behavior, and avoiding all aggressive behavior, whether toward other people, animals or you yourself.

Once your service dog is properly trained, you’re ready to venture out into the world together. One way to help avoid needless hassles and delays once you and your service dog are out and about and trying to access publicly-accessible spaces is to register your service dog with Certifymypet and get 24/7 service animal verification and ID card.

FAQ

  • Can I register ESA dog as a Service Dog?

    • Yes, it is possible to register your ESA dog as a service dog, but everything depends on your diagnosis and related need. An ESA dog is for a person with a mental or emotional disability. A service dog is for a person with a physical or psychiatric disability. In some cases, a mental or emotional disability or disorder may also be qualified as a psychiatric disability. Or you may have more than one disability that qualify you for both types of assistance animals. In such a situation
      you can use the same dog to serve both purposes. However, it would generally be easier to consider your dog a service dog, since the rights that service dogs have are much wider than those of ESA dogs.

  • How long does it take to get approved for an ESA?

    • Provided you meet all the qualifications for an ESA, your letter is issued in digital PDF form within one hour. Additionally, a physical copy of your letter will be sent by way of US Postal Service Priority Mail for you to receive within two to three days. If that time expires and you still have not received your letter, we invite you to reach out to our customer service team to follow up.

  • Are there any exceptions to the Fair Housing Act?

    • While the FHA applies to almost every type of housing, including single-family homes, apartments and condominiums both for rent and sale, there are exceptions. Owner-occupied homes with four or fewer units are excepted from the FHA rules, as are single-family houses sold by the owner without the aid of an agent. In addition, if a private club or religious organization operates housing with occupancy restricted to only its members, that housing too is exempted from FHA rules. This does not necessarily mean these types of housing prohibit emotional service animals, but it does mean they may do so under law if they want to.

  • Is someone permitted to request details of my disability?

    • Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, no one is allowed to ask you details about your disability. If you are trying to board an airplane or take residential housing with an ESA dog, you can be asked to show a doctor’s note authorizing you to have that ESA dog. However, that letter only needs to state that you have a qualifying disability and the dog that helps you with that disability. Nobody can ask you for more details about the name or nature of your disability or how your ESA & Service dog helps you with it.

  • Are any special accessories like ID cards or Vests also required for my ESA & Service Dog?

    • The law requires no special ID cards, vests or other accessories for your ESA or service dog. But taking into account that many people are unaware of the laws regarding ESA and service dogs, such items can be extraordinarily beneficial. Whether it’s a fellow patron of an establishment, its proprietor, or just a person unfamiliar with the laws, these people could unwittingly pose a great deal of needless hassles, delays and other stresses for you and your assistance dog. When people see an official-looking identification card in your hand or a glow-in-the-dark vest on your dog, they tend to be more loyal towards you and your assistance animal and let you stay.
