@A MyDepressionTeam Member are you talking about a service dog? They can be expensive. Anyone can get an emotional support for fairly cheap. A service dog and an emotional support dog are 2 different things. Service dogs are protected under the FEDERAL ADA, emotional support animals are not. Service dogs need trained thus the expense, emotional support animals need no training at all.
