Stories From Real
Waggy Customers

92% of clients with anxiety love to be with their furry family to improve overall wellness.

Parent of Ava

This was the first day I met Ava. She just sat in my lap with her paw wrapped around me. I knew she’d make the perfect ESA! Since Waggy, I’ve been able to live without any stress, and fly to go home for holidays with her. I was pretty stressed to fly with her for the first time, and Waggy made it so easy. We have an inseparable bond thanks to Waggy

Louis Vuitton is my best friend. His tail wags so much when he’s over excited that his entire body shakes, which is my favorite sight in the world. Because of Waggy, Louis is able to live with me in my one bedroom apartment. This is my first year out of the house and all alone which can be scary sometimes. He cares for me more than i care for him.

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%
