How service dog letter is crucial for traveling?
When you carry your service dog in an airline, you need to prove why you need to carry this dog with you. In this case, the service dog letter or an ESA letter is very important for you and make sure that your service dog letter is provided by an authorized or registered therapist or a psychologist.
How to get a service dog letter:
- Identify your disability
First, you need to identify your disability which as noted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). A few examples are depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, and many more. If you don’t know about you’re your disorder then you will get trouble in getting an ESA letter.
- Contact certified therapist
It is important that you find a therapist who is certified or licensed and also know about the regulations of the ESA letter. You can apply online to the legitimate company which can help you in issuing an ESA letter or service dog letter. After getting an ESA letter, it is recommended that you submit your letter to the airline so that you can know in advance, whether your ESA letter follows all airlines’ rules & regulations or not.
- Receive the service dog letter
If a therapist is satisfied with your talks and also understands that you need an emotional support animal then you will get your letter without any problem. You may get an ESA letter by email or by a post.
After receiving an ESA letter, you will be allowed to fly with your dog. Another benefit is that some airlines do not charge a fee or waive a fee for emotional support dogs. If you are still facing issues then contact PDSC professionals who are experienced and also licensed and can help in Service Animal Travel cases.
