Which Doctors Can Give a Service Dog Prescription?
What Should the Prescription Say?

Content: Any doctor that is treating your disability, who is legally licensed, can write you a doctor’s note for a service dog. Let’s go over what that means for different types of disabilities: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, OCD and other mental illnesses: This might be a family doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), licensed professional counselor (LPC), mental health counselor, certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor, nurse psychotherapist, vocational case manager or a marital and family therapist. Seizures, mobility problems, MS, diabetes and other physical illnesses: This might be a family doctor, physical therapist, neurologist, endocrinologist, opthalmologist or other specialists, as well as the doctors listed for mental illnesses. What Should the Prescription Say? Your doctor’s service dog prescription needs to be specific to be accepted by landlords and airlines. It will need to be on your doctor’s “letterhead.” This means it needs to give your doctor’s information.
