What’s the difference between an ESA & PSD Letter
CertaPet offers different types of legitimate letters for both ESAs or/and PSDs according to your needs. Emotional support animals (ESAs) are pets that can alleviate and support individuals with emotional disabilities. ESAs are not required to undergo specific training. On the other hand, a psychiatric service dog (PSD) is a type of assistance animal that’s trained to perform specific tasks for individuals living with a mental illness. These unique tasks are directly related to the handler’s disability.

They made the process of getting my Great Dane certified so simple and fast! My therapist was wonderful and I was able to get all my paperwork in the same day. I was approved to lease because of the ability to get my doggo certified. Thank you!

My needs were addressed in an appropriate, professional manner. Yes, the questioning process can feel as though it is time consuming but it was well worth it. The therapist assigned to me was empathetic, and understood my need for a PSD letter for my pet. I am grateful to the friend that referred me to this service. Thank you CertaPet.

I got a letter from a registered therapist for myself to bring my dog who is trained to do her work for me. Certapet is not a scam. I have brought my service dog to Ireland and Switzerland from the USA. Ppl who think the letter doesn’t work are because they might not train dogs to do their work as service dog. If they did and it still wasn’t accepted, some documents could be missed. Thankfully, everything has been great with me. Thank you

CertaPet is a legitimate service for obtaining emotional support animal (ESA) certifications. They provide assessments and documentation for individuals who qualify for an ESA based on their mental health condition. However, it's essential to verify the legitimacy of any service provider and understand the requirements for ESA certification in your region. For further details on ESA certification, refer to my dedicated Quora Profile on Emotional Support Animals.

I had a wonderful experience with Certapet! They were quick at assigning me to a therapist and getting the process going. I like that they make sure all your needs are met! I was really happy with them taking the time to get to know me and my dog. Most esa/psd registration sites don't assign you to a licensed therapist and will just automatically approve the request without looking further into the person. This company is well worth the price!! 100% will recommend!!!

The consultation and certification was also very well organized. I have been using Certapet for 6 years now and will continue to use them in the future. I highly reccomend Certapet to all pet owners seeking ESA and PSD help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process?
Start with a 5-minute online screening to check your eligibility for an ESA or PSD. If eligible, you'll receive information on letter types and pricing. Choose the type of consultation, then provide patient and pet details in a comprehensive assessment.
A licensed mental health professional will contact you for a phone consultation. If approved, you'll get a digital letter via email and can request a hard copy. If not approved, you'll receive a refund minus a $40 fee. Expect contact within two business days.
Note: Canadian residents can apply for ESA housing and travel consultations.
What is the turn around time?
Currently, a therapist will contact you within 2 business days to schedule a phone session. If approved, you can download a digital copy of your letter immediately. If you opted for a hard copy, it will be sent via USPS priority mail, which takes 2-3 business days.
Are there additional forms for approval?
Our therapists can complete reasonable accommodation verification forms for $49.99. Some housing providers may ask invasive health questions, which therapists may not be comfortable answering. Privacy is our priority. You will receive a follow-up call after submitting the form.
Can I have a an ESA letter even if I don't have my pet yet?
We offer an option for those without a pet. Select "I don't have my pet yet" during registration for an additional $20. You'll receive an initial recommendation letter. Once you have your pet, update the details and complete a shorter assessment to get a second letter with the pet's information.
