Can a vet certify my dog's ESA forms for behavior remotely or online?

You will need to find another doctor who would be willing to provide an ESA letter. A veterinarian does not have the ability to provide any kind of documentation for an ESA animal - I believe only a mental health professional can make the designation. Keep in mind that an ESA is not the same as a service animal and although there are provisions in the Fair Housing Act that cover ESAs you should make sure you know what is and isn’t legal when asking for provisions if you are renting a house or apartment.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What a beautiful family! We sadly are not associated with a Veterinary clinic or trainer. Your Veterinarian may have names of trainers they recommend. I would also print out the forms and requirements from the agency you want Jax certified under. They need to have certain vaccines, heartworm tests and fecal tests. I hope this helps!

No, vets do not do this. You need to have your dog go through specific training to become a service dog. Check out this website about becoming a service dog: https://www.servicedogcertifications.org/service-dog-requirements/

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately we can not prescribe medications. The law requires a Veterinary Client Patient Relationship and to have this an in person examination of the pet is needed to prescribe medications. We are here to provide advice and support. If Laddie is sick and needs medications I recommend contacting his Veterinarian. I wish you the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You have to take Ryo to a vet to get a health certificate. They have to examine him within 10 days of travel to issue a certificate. That is not something we can do through this website. A certificate for emotional support has to come from your personal doctor- not a veterinarian. All we can do is validate health status. Good luck and kisses to Ryo!

Yes, you should speak to your physician about this. My understanding is that they can provide a letter stating that you have a mental or emotional problem that would benefit from the presence of your pet as an ESA. I don't believe a mental health specialist is usually required, although your physician could clarify this for you if there's any confusion :)

I am so sorry, but we cannot help you with this. We would have to examine her in person, and document the actual findings in a medical record. To falsify records, or for one of us to sign our name to a letter stating that your dog fits the "requirements" of the building, could result in the loss of our license to practice, as we haven't directly examined him. If your dog's height is within the limit, and its just the weight that is the problem, and she is overweight, I do think you can find a vet local to you that would be wiling to right a letter to vouch for Brooklyn's good health and behavior record to the best of their knowledge, and to vouch that she is indeed overweight and you guys are working with her in this aspect. While no one can lie for you, a vet who has examined her in person can attest to her being a good candidate for a resident in the building. Best of luck, and i'm so sorry that we cannot directly assist you.
