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.

How to Get an Emotional Support Dog in Massachusetts

Emotional Support Animals – Massachusetts

More and more people are being diagnosed with mental illnesses every year. It is important that they find the right treatment for them in order to avoid further complications. Luckily, there are available treatment options and support for people who are dealing with these mental issues. One of the most popular alternative options are emotional support animals.

Emotional support animals have been around for years now and are proven to be effective in helping people who suffer from mental issues such as depression, anxiety and even postpartum. People who currently have emotional support animals have seen incredible improvement in their conditions as they feel more relaxed and comfortable. The feeling of relaxation actually helps to mitigate symptoms that can lead to sudden attacks. Before getting your emotional support animal, you must first discuss it with your psychiatrist. Your doctor will then conduct a thorough analysis of your mental state and diagnose the severity of your mental health. Your doctor will then be able to provide you with a certificate that includes his or her license number, type, and date issued. With this certificate, you will be able to bring along your emotional support animal wherever you wish.

If you love to travel then you will be happy to know that you can bring your emotional support animal with you. However, there are some important requirements that you must complete beforehand. If you wish to bring along your emotional support animal with you onboard an airplane then you will need to send the airline a copy of the doctor’s certificate at least 48 hours before your departure. This will allow the airline to make any necessary seating arrangements. You and your emotional support animal will even be allowed to board the plane ahead of other passengers to ensure you have a comfortable boarding process.

The process of obtaining an emotional support animal can be complicated if you haven’t gone through the process before. Luckily, there are emotional support animal providers who can be of assistance to you. We can answer any additional questions you may have and can make the process as smooth as possible for you.
