Obtaining documentation for an emotional support dog requires a consultation with a licensed mental health professional and a well-written emotional support animal letter. By following the necessary steps and obtaining the required documentation, individuals can ensure that their emotional support dog is properly certified and can provide the necessary support for their mental health condition.

The only way to certify your dog as an emotional support dog is by obtaining an ESA letter.
