Parent of Anya

People say “I have a rescue” but in our home I say “Anya rescued me.” She came into my life when I needed help the most, and has been my constant companion since. This fall my landlord tried to force me too “re home” her for no other reason than “she was an aggressive breed.” That’s when I reached Waggy, I don’t know what I would do without her.

Kai O.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Dani

I have severe anxiety and get panick attacks. This big love bug has done nothing but make me and everyone around me happy. She is loving and gives lots of kisses. I appreciate waggy for letting her become a support dog. She comes with me to places and instantly I feel at ease with her. I’ve never felt such a connection with a dog before in my life.

B

Brianna H.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Farley

I made a huge move across the country to a place where I had no one except my cat, Farley. He helped me get through the roughest, loneliest part of this move. He cuddled with me on the days that I couldn’t lift my heart out of bed. His desire to explore outside helped me find that desire too. I wouldn’t have made it here without him. He’s the best!

My sweet Norwegian Forest cat, Mr. McPheefers, is my best travel buddy! He’s been a lifesaver since my husbands death with his simple, unconditional love.

S

Shannon E.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Liberty

Liberty is truly my best friend. Between working 2 jobs and having anxiety, she always is able to make me feel better. I’ve had dogs all my life, but she is really a blessing.

Can I get an ESA letter or disability assessment by taking an online test or survey, or do I need an in-person or phone session with a licensed provider?

Yes, an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter or recommendation can be issued based on a professional psychological assessment conducted online. Our licensed healthcare providers utilize validated tools such as the DSM-5 Type I and II Symptom Cross-Cutting Measures, developed by the American Psychiatric Association, and the World Health Organization’s WHODAS 2.0.

It is increasingly common across various areas of telehealth to provide clinical assessments and even formal diagnoses without requiring in-person or video sessions. For example, platforms offering ADHD evaluations (ADHD Online) and weight loss drug prescriptions (Zappy Health) often rely on online questionnaires and surveys without any face-to-face or telephone interaction.

Similarly, for ESA letters, federal law does not require a formal psychological diagnosis or ongoing treatment from a licensed provider. Instead, a provider may issue an ESA recommendation based on established psychological assessment tools that are widely accepted in the mental health field.
We have issued over 250,000 ESA letters, with an acceptance rate exceeding 96%
