Stories From Real
Waggy Customers

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

Parent of Miso

Waggy made it possible for Miso to go everywhere with me! I take her to class, work, and just about everywhere else! She knows when I'm sad or upset, and will kiss me all over my face until I feel better. Everyone loves her, and my happiness has revolved a lot around her ever since she came into my life.

Aya M.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Nala

Nala has been my greatest companion. I had issues finding housing because of “aggresssive breed” restrictions and was denied 7x. When all hope was lost I applied my little girl as an ESA and by law she could not be denied. She is the most loving dog and her breed’s reputation should not keep her from living a good life. I’m so thankful for Waggy!

Briana G.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Max

Max makes my husband smile. He is his constant companion since cancer diagnosis.

J

John D.imgVerified Customer

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.

S

Stephanie A.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Tobie

TOBIE is my sunshine, my healer and my support in my every day life. I love him so much. Tobie is my baby.

Waggy’s ESA service is amazing! Without a letter of recommendation I wouldn’t have been able to get the super smiley girl in the middle! I’m lucky enough to be able to take her to work with me every day and she fits in amazingly with our little family. We got her from a rescue, so we know she’s happier too!

Mobi has helped me feel more comfortable inside and outside of my home. He has been a great friend who has been one of the greatest pick-me-ups I have ever had in my bad times.

Sydney F.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!

Trusted by 250,000 Satisfied Clients

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%
