Muhammad R.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Louis Vuitton

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.

Beke L.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Luna

Luna makes me smile and laugh everyday, even on the days where I struggle to find a reason to smile. This year has been incredibly difficult, my husband and kids are facing a rare tumor disorder, and when I am falling apart she is there to cuddle with me and remind me not to lose hope. I rescued her, but she saved me. I love her immensely.

A

Ashley C.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 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

K

Kristen S.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Cleo

After I lost my mom last year this girl has lifted up my spirits a lot. She’s my cuddle buddy and super silly. Five stars for Waggy!

S

Stephanie B.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!

B

Briana G.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. Thanks to my (Waggy) ESA letter, Libby is able to live with me in my apartment without an stress of additional fees. I can’t thank both Libby and Waggy enough for the support.

N

Nicole S.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Medussa

Being able to provide a safe home for our pet has made a safe home for us. She brings joy into our lives and that’s irreplacable. Without the ESA certification, none of this would’ve been PAWSibble!

Killian T.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Mr. McPheefers

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. As my ESA companion I can handle the scary plane to visit all my family and friends. Life is not so lonely with him along and the special calm he gives me everyday but especially when I travel.

S

Shannon E.imgVerified Customer

Aleigha is my life! She is the daughter I never had :-) Waggy has made life even better. When I travel now I don’t have to leave Aleigha with someone she comes with me and I know she’s always safe.

Gabriella G.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Lily

Lily came into my life during a cancer scare and ironically Lily had a tumor as well when I first rescued her. The previous owner he didn’t want to deal with the treatments and healing. So at the end of the day we both covered cancer free and seven years later are still going strong and happy.

M

Michael S.imgVerified Customer

Having Fry as an ESA has helped me a lot with my social anxiety! He helps me feel more comfortable in stressful situations and when I get extremely overwhelmed he is right next to me licking my hand to remind me that everything will be alright!

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%
