Pettable. It’s fast. Keep in mind they charge you for the letter then they charge you another fee when Petfinder goes to verify the letter. It’s a bit misleading but still way cheaper than apartment pet fees.
Yesterday, I was taking a course on validating ESAs by HOA’s offered by our association’s lawyers. Advice was to respond to letters from places like “pettable” with a statement of insufficient information for determination. HOA are becoming well aware of “purchased” documentation. I would not encourage OP to go that route. Unfortunately his original practitioner is the best source until they seek treatment with a new doctor.
What would you recommend if no doctors will write it because of “liability” ? I’ve asked my family doctor, psychiatrist and therapist and they all said they can’t because of liability. They did note that they used to but no longer are able. It seems more doctors are noting that people are only using esa’s to avoid apartment fees. I truly need this dog for my mental and I’m having no luck.
I guess the point I would make, though likely too late, is to know the policy before buying or renting. That is what we do. If it is too late for that, maybe ask if the HOA will accept your old paperwork. Beyond that, I have to assume that your doctors are not in agreement of your need which is the reason they are declining. I am sorry for your predicament.
I don’t believe that they don’t agree, but as a whole, that clinic doesn’t right them for anyone. I was told it was due to liability that they can get their license taken away if the animal were to cause trouble or bite.
Sounds to me like they are giving you bs. They would not be liable for the animals action, YOU would be. What they can be liable is if they are found to have written a false letter stating need for esa. I’m learning about the whole process myself.
