What is a psychiatric service dog letter?
It is documentation from a licensed mental-health clinician confirming that you have a psychiatric disability and that your dog is trained to perform tasks that mitigate it. Unlike an emotional support animal, a psychiatric service dog is trained to do specific work, and that distinction is what the letter records.
Is a PSD letter legally required?
The Americans with Disabilities Act does not require documentation for public access, and businesses may not demand it. A letter is useful for housing accommodation requests, for employers, and for programs and trainers that ask for clinical confirmation before working with you.
What does a PSD letter cost here?
$99 for the letter and the consultation together. If you also need an ESA letter for housing, the combination is $199, which includes both consultations.
Does my dog need to be trained already?
Your clinician documents the psychiatric disability and the disability-related tasks. Training the dog to perform those tasks reliably is separate work, done by you or a trainer. We do not certify or register dogs, because no body legitimately does.
