service animals? how do you go about getting your baby certified to be a service animal? I got my baby Gracie for my anxiety and depression... so I want to be able to make it official... any advice? |
I think if it is for something that is not physical ( you know, being blind, deaf, etc.) then you have to get a note from your psychiatrist. i know that the airlines, etc, only recognize service animals for anything but physical dissabilities if there is a note from a psychiatrist/psychologist. Hope that helps! :) Quote:

Check your pm's |
google sara - service animal certification |
you need to go see your pyschiatrist and get a letter on his letterhead and it must be no older than 1 year. That is all you have to do for most airlines. Carry the letter with you and be prepared to show it when asked. Very simple to have your baby with you and keep you calm on the flight!! |
I also have ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder..) so would I still have to have a pyschiatrist do it or would a reg. medical doctor be ok? |

be careful...Amtrak does not allow "comfort animals". I'm not sure about all the airlines. They can refuse comfort animals because they are not providing a service. |
i think you should be fine in only getting a psychiatric letter and show it to them... because i have a service dog and they ask for that sometimes.. |
A service dog is different from a therapy dog and/or comfort dog. Make sure that your doctor specifically calls your dog a "service dog/animal" and does not refer to him/her as a "pet." Your doctor probably knows how the letter should read, but if not, there are sample letters online. |
