Parent of Pilleaux

Before beautiful Pilleaux came into my life I would never have the confidence and energy to go outdoors. She has increased the quality of my life like I never thought was possible.

Behrad G.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 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

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%
