A member asked:
Can i get my dog certified as my emotional companion?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe, but...: Too many people are doing that. Because all dogs provide owners with "emotional support" and are in theory "emotional companions," and too many dog owners want to take their dogs everywhere, we currently have a societal problem... too many dog owners wanting this. The solution may be to make strict universal criteria that all dog owners must stick to, so that only about 1% get certified.

Emotional support: Not through this site. In the USA, one would need to have this documented by a mental health provider. Agree with earlier response in that I see emotional support animal policies being abused at times in the US.
