Hey everyone, hoping to get some info from someone who has actually gone through this and made their dog an emotional support animal. I'm planning a move soon and want to get everything figured out ahead of time. I have a dog who is literally my life. I don't know how I'd function without her. She helps me feel safe, gives me a reason to get out of bed, and honestly keep me grounded on really hard days. With the move coming up, I'm realizing she might qualify as an emotional support animal, but I'm super confused about how the whole process actually works. I know you can ask your primary doctor, but mine recently joined mdvip and wants to charge me like $2000 a year to keep seeing her and I don't want to pay that. I am looking for a new primary doctor, but getting an appointment before the move is next to impossible. I keep seeing stuff online about "certifying" your dog, but I don't know what's real. How do I certify my dog as an emotional support animal, if that's even the right wording? My main questions are: How do I make my pet into an emotional support animal? Which website should I get it done through if my primary care doc isn't available anymore? submitted by /u/SailingSignals to r/EmotionalSupportDogs [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, Not long after my recent loss, I visited a local shelter, and one dog really caught my attention. Something about him just felt right, so I ended up adopting him. I really like him. He actually resembles the dog I lost, not just in appearance but also in some of his little behaviors. The way he tilts his head when I talk to him, the way he follows me around, it all reminds me so much of my old friend. But that’s also why I have such mixed emotions. I can’t tell if I adopted him because I truly wanted to start fresh with a new companion or because I was looking for a part of what I lost. I feel happy to have him, but at the same time, there’s this strange feeling. I’m unsure if adopting him now was the right move. Should I have waited a little longer? What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, I really appreciate everyone who offered support on my last post. Your kindness meant a lot to me during this tough time. submitted by /u/Ok_Emu1460 to r/DogAdvice [link] [comments]

I normally work from home but today I have no internet so I have to go to the library to work. I got on the bus and I sat in a section where other bus riders sit across from you. 20 min into the bus ride a woman got on the bus and sat across from me. She had an incredibly beautiful golden retriever. Now something I need to preface is that I love dogs. They're my favourite animal and whenever I see a dog I get giddy and I smile like an idiot. The dog came up and sniffed my leg. I placed my hand in front of them to see if they were friendly. The dog waged it's tail and I started petting the top of their head. The owner pulled the dog back and said to me that this was their emotional support animal and that it was wrong of me to pet their dog without permission. I apologized and kept my hands to myself. She would not let it go though and she continued to chastise me for having pet her dog like that. I was confused and I asked her what she meant. She told me that what I did was incredibly improper and rude. I apologized again but she wouldn't stop. She went into a complete tirade telling me that everyone knows you shouldn't pet peoples emotional support dogs and I was being a selfish asshole. This woman worked herself up so much that she started crying and told me that I wasn't treating her like a human being. I was so freaked out and I couldn't believe what was happening. I was about 2 stops away from the library so I just got off and walked the rest of the way. I really didn't mean for any of that to happen. Was what I did really so bad? I know you're not supposed to pet service animals, but there was nothing to indicate that her dog was an emotional support dog. submitted by /u/Ultralusk to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

My daughter is 17. I’m 47. My wife is 44. My daughter had been having problems with her anxiety and depression, school had been very hard for her and she asked us if she could get an animal for “emotional support”. I asked her why we couldn’t just put her in regular therapy again but she said she didn’t really like her last therapist. Basically she doesn’t want to try it again. I was pretty against bringing an animal into the home as my daughter can barely keep her room clean and remember to wash her dishes, much less take care of an animal. And I absolutely refused to do anything for the dog because I work long hours and didn’t want to be picking up messes when I got home. My wife said I was being unfair and that this could be what my daughter needed to get back in good spirits. So we got her a dog. We let her pick out from few select breeds, since certain breeds tend to need higher requirements for care (such as frequent grooming and other traits) and I was against getting some breeds just because of personal preference. The dog was great at first and it got along with my daughter and wife greatly. Me not so much, but it could probably sense I didn’t really like it either. But then it started getting out of its leash on walks, tearing up the couch and various other toys we bought it. My daughter started forgetting to let it out, so I’d come home to find poop and pee all over the brand new carpet. I warned her twice that if she didn’t start taking responsibility that the dog would be going back and she gave me excuses saying she was feeling depressed again. She said she would do better, but didn’t. Ultimately, I got fed up so one day when she went to school I loaded the dog in my truck and told the shelter he wasn’t a good fit for us. Obviously when she came home she was upset. She was saying the dog was her best friend but I told her that she wasn’t taking very good care of him, and he didn’t deserve that. Wife says it was very harsh to just take the dog back while she was gone, but she agrees daughter wasn’t responsible. My daughter has been saying I brought back her severe depression and we haven’t been talking. AITA? submitted by /u/throwawaywife29292 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I have an emotional support dog, Lucy. She isn't a trained service dog and isn't legally protected. I don't bring her into stores or anything. Mostly she's a pet, except at night when she helps me with nightmares. I have CPTSD and extreme night terrors and without my dog I will scream and cry. But she can cue into the signs that I'm about to have a night terror and wakes me up before it gets bad. So, with Lucy I can mostly sleep "normal." Without her it's a disaster. This past weekend my friends rented a "cabin" (more like a big vacation house in the woods) for us all to hang out. There were 10 of us total. I got a ride with two of my friends who I had been to a cabin with before. I brought Lucy last time and it was fine. No one said anything when she got in the car with us. I had checked the airbnb listing and it said pet friendly. I wouldn't have come if it said no pets, because I know my night terrors would disturb the other people. But with Lucy allowed, I would be fine, so I didn't think anything of it. But when I got to the cabin, the gf of my (sort of) friend Jake got really upset about Lucy. Apparently she is allergic and didn't bring any allergy meds and no one told her a dog was coming. This was my first time meeting her and I don't even have Jake's phone number, so I wouldn't have been able to let him know. I felt bad about it and suggested Lucy could stay outside on the patio until bedtime when she would sleep with me. But Sandra said Lucy couldn't come inside at all because of the way the cabin was kind of a loft/open plan setup. Not sure how to explain this but it's like the bedrooms didn't have ceilings and the main roof was way higher than the rooms. I suggested I go back home but the friends who drove me weren't willing to drive all the way back. So Lucy had to stay on the patio all night. It was terrible. I got the room next to the patio so she could sit at the sliding doors and be near me but she had never slept outside before, and it was in the woods with who knows what animals. I tried to sleep on the patio with her but I was cold and uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. If I don't sleep at all my CPTSD symptoms get bad and I become a volatile mess so I didn't want to risk not sleeping. So I went to bed inside, but of course, I had a night terror and woke everyone up screaming. Twice. They were PISSED the next morning. They all got together and "voted me out" and said I had to leave. My one friend drove me home and barely talked to me the whole time. No one is responding to my apology texts. I know it was probably a dick move to bring a dog without checking with everyone but I didn't know most people that well and last time it wasn't a problem. I didn't know someone allergic was coming. But my friends all definitely think I'm the asshole and I may have lost this friend group. AITA? EDIT: To be clear I am in extensive treatment for my PTSD. Please stop assuming that I am ignoring my mental health condition, I didn't say anything of the sort in my post. Lucy is one accommodation for a specific symptom while I pursue all avenues to treat my condition. EDIT2: Several people have pointed out that there's actually a program to self-train a service dog, which I didn't know about. I apparently got bad info from a woman at the local service dog organization when I asked about this a couple years ago. I will definitely be looking into whether this is possible in my state because I would love to get Lucy officially certified trained if I can. She absolutely provides a service for me and is NOT just a pet. (Thanks for all the messages and comments, I now understand that certification isn't necessary and she just has to be trained to a certain standard) EDIT3: I am not replying to comments anymore for mental health reasons, but I have gotten a few messages telling me to edit things into this post so for clarification (I explained these in the comments but not the original post bc of the character limit): My friends, Rick and Randy, who drove me, organized the trip, they invited me, and they knew about my dog. They allowed my dog into the car with no question and never said anything about not having cleared her with the others. At the time, I thought it had been cleared since Rick and Randy invited me (and Lucy, who they knew would be coming if I was) and the other people were their friends who they had also invited. I did not have the contact info of many of these people including Jake and Sandra (the allergic one) so I thought Rick and Randy had told everyone, as the hosts. I did ask Sandra if she was willing to go to the grocery store in town (about 20 min away) and see if allergy meds helped but she didn't want to go because it was dark, and everyone except me and the friends who had driven me had been drinking. My friends didn't want to go, and I can't drive, so I couldn't go get them. I don't know for sure how bad Sandra's allergies are but she didn't say OTC meds wouldn't work, just that she didn't want to drive to get them. Some people are asking why Sandra couldn't have gotten meds in the morning instead of me being driven home. It's because they "voted me out" and didn't want me there anymore because of the night terrors. I tried to explain it wouldn't happen the second night if I had Lucy in my bed with me but they didn't care/believe me. It would have been much faster (20 min) to go to the store for allergy meds vs bringing me home (1 hour 30 min) but they were really angry about being woken up twice by the screaming. That's fair but I just want to be clear that I haven't had a night terror in 2 years since Lucy started doing this for me, except one time when she accidentally got shut out of my bedroom when the wind slammed the door shut. I am not disruptive at all on overnight trips as long as Lucy can sleep with me. submitted by /u/aita-bnbdog to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I won't be using names or ages in this post. So me and my husband live with our daughter, and I'd like to think that our house has been decorated very well. We've spent a lot of money on furniture, good appliances, the kitchen, the bathroom etc. Recently, our daughter's therapist recommended an emotional support animal for our daughter, due to her anxiety issues. Now I was under the impression that cat's fell under the umbrella of an emotional support animal, which would have been ideal, since we have a 1 year old Maine Coon cat. However, the therapist recommended a dog specifically, since our daughter would be able to take the dog to school and into shops etc. The problem with that is the fact that I'm not a dog lover to say the very least, and the idea of bringing one into my home fills me with dread. Before people tell me the dog can be trained: I get that, but the fact still remains that I just don't like dogs. My daughter think's I'm basically the devil for not getting her a dog, since she thinks it would really help her in her day to day life. My brother also sided with my daughter, saying that I need to stop being so vain with regards to my house. AITA here? submitted by /u/ExchangeSuccessful21 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I work at a zoo this summer and the number of people who try to bully us into letting their emotional support animal in has become my biggest literal pet peeve. Service animals are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. They are trained to provide a specific service. They will not bark, go to the bathroom in the zoo, get distracted or be a distraction, or other various pet behaviors. Emotional support animals are NOT federally protected by the ADA. You can not bring in your little yippy poop machine under the guise of such a claim. While we cannot ask for paperwork, I can ask what specifically your animal is trained for. And when you’re unable to tell me anything other than emotional support, you can bet we deny entry. It is not the same thing. You are not disabled, your animal is not trained, and you both can stay home if you can’t live without it for the 45 minute walk through the zoo. Please stop creating stigma around service animals for those who actually need them. It is so insulting and maddening. submitted by /u/bobwoodwardprobably to r/TrueOffMyChest [link] [comments]

My (f28) roommate (f28) of 4 years has been dating a girl (f25) for a few months now. They've asked me many times if her girlfriend can bring her emotional support dogs over (edit: one is an emotional support dog and the other is a licensed therapy dog, neither are service animals) because they're essential to her girlfriend's mental health. I said I understand they're important to her girlfriend, but that I'm not comfortable having dogs in the house, due to both allergic reactions and anxiety that I feel regarding pets in the house (I didn't grow up around animals). I have said I'm not okay with dogs from day 1 of living together. Every spring, I cough nonstop from February to May from allergies. It's been getting worse and worse this season, and so a month ago, I went to the doctor and found out I actually have allergy-induced asthma. My doctor gave me two different inhalers and a bunch of other medication, and told me to be careful around pets during this season and especially what is tracked onto my carpet because I was wheezing so much. Literally cough attacks throughout the day everyday, trouble breathing, missing work, trying to stay indoors as much as possible to avoid allergens. I told my roommate about this and the dog topic didn't come up again. Then I found yesterday that they brought the dogs over anyway when I wasn't home because my roommate was sick and her girlfriend brought her food and medicine. My roommate said the dogs would be in her room the whole time. I said I was unhappy because fur/dander does get everywhere through clothes/feet, and asked that she at least vacuum after the dogs leave. After getting home, I went to get something from my car, but I guess they thought I left for the evening, because when I came back a few minutes later, the dogs were roaming freely through the house. I opened my front door to find them in the kitchen, and they barked when I came in and freaked me out since it wasn't something I was expecting in my house (I am a little afraid of dogs). I said I thought it was inconsiderate that something was brought into my home that makes me uncomfortable and feel unwell. My roommate got mad at me for making this a "huge deal" when they were only in there "for a good 10 seconds" (edit: in the kitchen for 10 seconds before retreating to the bedroom) and making her girlfriend feel bad (I don't know why her gf would bring them in the first place then when she already knows how I feel). Girlfriend and dogs left immediately after. My roommate previously said it's hard to be at her girlfriend's house instead because her girlfriend has horses and my roommate is allergic to them (edit: she said she might be allergic to the hay or other things around the house due to the horses, and the dogs in our house shouldn't be a problem since they'll stay in her room the whole time). Ironic? Also I'm moving out-of-state in 3 weeks, so I was thinking they would just wait it out...instead of creating conflict last minute after so many harmonious years. This also makes me wonder if they've been sneaking the dogs in for a while without my knowledge, and if that's why my allergies have been worse this year than any other year. Home should be a sanctuary! Tldr: am I the asshole for not wanting my roommate's girlfriend to bring dogs over against my wishes because of the medical and psychological impacts on me and my level of comfort in my own home where I pay to live? submitted by /u/succulents91 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I get that there's people who need animals for assistance with their disabilities. Yes. I do. However, I am sick and tired of people using this as an excuse to bring their pets into stores and letting them run wild. I work in a big chain store that I will not name. But it's a big store that's usually busy. So we get tons of people with dogs coming in. I work on the floor so I, unfortunately, have dealt with this shit very often. One incident had a lady with a poodle that ended up shitting and pissing all over the store. I swear, that dog had bowel issues. There was dog shit smeared everywhere, on clothes, on the floor, on the wall, on books... It was so disgusting. We didn't really say anything in fear of her throwing a fit. I had to stay twenty minutes past closing helping to clean up... Another incident had a woman take her dog into the family restroom where it proceeded to take a shit all over the bathroom... Guess who had to clean it up? A dude and his wife brought in a large dog (I guess a labrador?) that was fucking, like, trying desperately to escape and kept barking. Eventually, he did let go of the leash, and the dog ran to a woman and her toddler then tried to take a bite out of her. She was only saved because another customer ran their cart into the dog before it could break into her skin. The guy and his wife threw the hugest stink, and they went to the media which ran a story on how our store kicked them out over having their "emotional support dog". Lying pieces of shit. The one that affected me most personally was from a few days ago. Another lady brought in a cocker spaniel that had a "emotional support dog" vest on. I mostly just rolled my eyes when I saw it but I also wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt that maybe she did need it and it was a trained animal. So her spaniel began to growl at me when I was nearby, trying to stock a shelf. I tried to ignore it until the dog began to leap at me, barking aggressively. I tried to very politely ask her to control the dog because I felt threatened. The lady said she was going to sic the dog on me because she felt threatened by me. Then she went on to say she was having a panic attack and her dog couldn't do its job because of me. People began to crowd around, and they were all defending her, asking why I was harassing her even though I did nothing except tell her calmly that the dog was being a threat to me. An ambulance came, so did the police. It was all a huge mess. My manager yelled at me, saying that I shouldn't have said anything to her even in spite of the aggressive animal. I honestly feel like all of the people who come in with these dogs are just selfish, entitled brats who treat the store like a park they can walk their dogs in, and can't even control these dogs when they go wild. Yet people act like you are in the wrong for thinking this way because people "love" dogs. Such bullshit. submitted by /u/Immediate_Relation to r/TrueOffMyChest [link] [comments]
