How It Works

Complete Online Exam

All individuals seeking an Emotional Support Animal prescription must complete an online medical examination consisting of 74 questions. It takes anywhere from 15 – 20 minutes to complete so please make sure that you are ready to fill it out and move forward, since you won't be able to save your exam and come back to it later. You can begin the exam by clicking on the “online medical exam”tab located in the main navigation menu or by clicking the “get started now” tab below.

Make Payment

Potential patients should keep in mind that if the evaluating medical doctor does not feel comfortable writing you a prescription for an emotional support animal, then you will receive a same-day refund. Refunds are granted only to those who are not approved by the evaluating physician. After completing your online exam you will be required to make a payment and choose a treatment plan that best applies to you. If you need an ESA letter for housing, please choose the housing plan. The entry level housing plan is called the “care plan” and is 159.00. If you need a letter only for travel, then please choose the travel plan for 149.00. If you need documentation for both, you will need to select the Compassion Plan for 199.00, which will cover both travel and housing. Regardless, you must submit payment at that time or your exam will not be processed.

The DOGtor Reviews Your Exam

The Dogtor reviews your exam & you'll receive a notification within 48 hours if approved or not. Approval is typically the same day on a normal work week. In the event that the Dogtor needs to do a further evaluation he may want to speak to you over Skype. However, it's very rare.

You've Been Approved!

All individuals who have submitted an online exam will hear back from the evaluating physician within 24-48 hours. The doctor will email you from this or her personal email address to the email address that you have on file, so please make sure to check spam folders and wait patiently for the correspondence from the M.D. A doctor may ask you more questions about your exam so please be prepared to provide further details if they want more info in order for them to make an informed decision. Usually these questions are about asking for more clarity or that you have been vague in answering a specific question. As stated in Step 3, if the doctor does not approve you, you will receive a same-day refund. However, in the event that you are approved, you will receive your emailed PDF copy of the prescription letter typically on the same day. You will also receive a courtesy hard copy that will be mailed to the address that you have on file when taking the online exam. The hard copy take a few business days to arrive, depending on where you are located in the USA.

Emotional Support Animal in Alabama

Are you dealing with mental issues such as depression, panic attacks or anxiety? If you’re exploring different treatment and support options, then you should consider learning more about emotional support animals. With this kind of support system, you will be able to have an animal with you who can sense and react to your stress and is even able to alleviate the symptoms that can lead to sudden attacks. More and more people are achieving amazing progress in their mental health because of emotional support animals.

Having an emotional support animal can even provide you with more relaxation than other types of treatments. But first, you will need to go to your psychiatrist to discuss this support option. Your doctor will conduct a thorough check up on your condition and once diagnosed, will be able to provide you with a certificate. This certificate will state that you due to the state of your mental health, you are able to have an emotional support animal. This letter must include the letterhead, license number, type, and date issued. This certificate must be renewed yearly in order to be effective.

If you plan to bring your emotional support animal with you while traveling, then you must complete some basic requirements. You need to send the airline a copy of the certificate which you obtained from your doctor at least 48 hours before your departure. The airline will prepare your seating plan so that you and your animal can have a comfortable and relaxing flight. It is also important to get your emotional support animal a certified vest and patches in which they should wear whenever bringing them into public spaces.

Once you obtain a certificate from your doctor and understand the benefits of having an emotional support animal, you will then be able to find the right provider for you. You can do your own online research or even consult with your doctor or psychiatrist to find the best option for you.
