What is Psychiatric Service Dog Letter?

A PSD letter is an official document signed and written by a state-licensed professional on official letterhead. It grants legal rights to a person by stating that the dog is part of their treatment plan for a psychiatric, emotional, or mental disability that substantially limits their daily activities. Although having a Psychiatric Service Dog letter is not a necessity, it can greatly help with housing, employment, and travel. You can also self-certify that your dog is trained to perform certain daily life activities on your behalf and present the letter to your landlord as proof that your dog is trained to perform tasks to aid your mental or emotional disability.

How Can I Travel With My Psychiatric Service Dog?

If you are planning a trip with your Psychiatric Service Dog, you will need to ensure you have the following documents for your assistance animal:
  1. PSD Letter: You can get a psychiatric service dog letter that serves as proof of your need for a trained assistance dog to alleviate your disability symptoms. However, remember that a PSD letter is not necessarily required.
  2. Airline Forms: Most airlines in the United States require specific documents to be completed before travel. These include forms issued by the Department of Transportation (DoT). The DOT form requires you to make several self-certifications regarding your PSD. These forms are necessary to ensure a smooth travel experience for you and your PSD, and to maintain the safety of your fellow passengers.
  3. For flights longer than eight hours, you will also need to submit the DoT Issued Relief Attestation Form. This form confirms that your PSD is trained to relieve itself in a sanitary manner during longer flights.
The forms can be submitted online at least 48 hours before the flight. If you are late and the flight is in less than 48 hours, you can submit the forms at the airline’s check-in counter at the time of departure.

Do I Have To Register My Dog As A Psychiatric Service Animal?

No, you don’t have to register your dog. A PSD Letter signed by a licensed healthcare professional is enough to prove that you seek psychiatric or emotional benefits from your dog.

How Do You Get A Letter For A Psychiatric Service Dog?

To get a PSD Letter, you can apply with a Fast ESA Letter. Our team of licensed healthcare professionals is available 24*7. To get started, you can follow these steps:

  • Fill out an online appointment form to schedule a visit with a qualified professional,
  • Connect with the professional to get evaluated,

Can a Therapist Write a Letter For a Psychiatric Service Dog?

Yes, a therapist can write a letter recommending a psychiatric service dog if they believe it is necessary for managing an individual’s mental health condition. The letter typically outlines the diagnosis and explains how the service dog would help mitigate specific symptoms. Any licensed medical professional treating a person for their disability is eligible to provide such a letter. This includes therapists, psychiatrists, social workers, general practitioners, and other qualified providers familiar with the individual’s needs and condition.

Do I Need A Professional Trainer To Train My PSD?

No, not at all. It is totally up to you. It is fine if you think you can train your dog at home. However, if your disability requires your dog to obtain special training from professionals, you can have them trained by any service dog training organization. Housing authorities and airplanes cannot demand a training certificate for the PSD.

Does My PSD Need A Service Vest?

Neither ADA nor ACAA demands a vest, ID tag, or specific harness to prove the dog’s status. Although service animal vests can highlight your dog as a service animal in the crowd, the vest won’t be enough proof to verify that your dog is an actual psychiatric service dog.

Can I Use A PSD Letter For Housing?

Yes, you can use your PSD letter for housing purposes, as PSDs are protected under the Fair Housing Act, which provides equal living rights to disabled persons.

Do I Need To Renew My PSD Letter Each Year?

Some mental health professionals may recommend periodic evaluations to ensure the up-to-date evaluation of the individual’s health.

Do I Need A PSD Letter If I Already Have An ESA Letter?

Since emotional support animals are not protected under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), they do not have the right to fly with their owners on flights. So, if you want to take advantage of the traveling laws and have trained your dog well to become a PSD, you can consult a mental health professional and apply for a PSD letter.

Can My Dog Be A Psychiatric Service Dog?

Yes, your pet dog can also be a Psychiatric Service Dog. You just need to train them to perform tasks related to your disability. After completing your dog’s training, you can get a PSD letter and enjoy travel, employment and housing benefits with your canine companion.

What Can An Airline Ask About My PSD?

  • Is the dog needed because of your mental or emotional health?
  • Is the dog properly trained?
  • List the tasks performed by your trained dog.
They can also observe your PSDs behavior for calmness and obedience.

What Are The DoT Rules That A Person Flying With A PSD Should Know?

  • A disabled individual can bring a maximum of up to two PSDs on the flight.
  • The PSD must be able to fit within its handler’s foot space on the aircraft.
  • The PSD handler must also keep the PSD harnessed, leashed, or tethered at the airport and on the plane.

Step 3: Once you meet all the legal criteria and your service dog behaves appropriately. You can fly with them.

Note: You can self-train your dog too. It is not mandatory to train your dog from a specialized person or organization to verify it as a psychiatric service dog.
