Daily i am filled with so much gratitude for my mini poodle Pearl, who rescues me from so much loneliness, anxiety and depression.

Pauline B.imgVerified Customer

Tera has been a blessing in my life. Being able to care for and spoil someone, that you love as much as they love you, is an amazing experience that helps me through my every day struggles. She doesn't mind cuddling, hugging, or cradling and calmly relaxes next to me during sit-down tasks.

Joanne P.imgVerified Customer

I call this one: “Dad won’t play with meee”. Yeti has calmed my anxiety and genuinely brought more love into our home with his charasmatic attitude and unique little quirks. Couldn’t have asked for a better first cuddle bug.

M

Mumtaz Y.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.

T

Terri K.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 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 Sir O'Tonin

Sir O'Tonin (Tonin) has been the biggest help for my anxiety and depression. He gets me motivated to get up and out. We take long walks and play at the park. He really is the boost in SEROTONIN I needed to live in wellness. I'm so grateful for him and the chance Waggy gave me to have the support I need.

A

Adrianne M.imgVerified Customer

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.

A

Aya M.imgVerified Customer

Parent of Quavo

I was getting letters from my landlord saying that Quavo was getting too big to live in my apartment. It hurt my heart so much to think about giving him away . When I found out about ESA laws I found Waggy and my life was saved. My stress melted away as the letters from my landlord stopped showing up at my door. Plus you’re affordable. 1000 stars

A

Anastasia H.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

Parent of Voorhees

You guys (Waggy) have helped us so much!! Thank you for all your help!! Voorhees is such a blessing and we wouldn't be where we are without you, thank you!!

J

Jamie (Tobi) P.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

Parent of Winnie The Poodle

Winnie is like a living teddy bear. Every day she makes me laugh and encourages a healthy and active life style (whilst always enjoying a good old fashioned nap in the middle of the day). She brings both joy and routine and is, as promised when I first got a dog, my best friend.

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%
