What PSD letter pricing covers
Your fee covers a short phone or video evaluation with a licensed clinician and, if the clinician finds it appropriate, a signed letter delivered as a PDF. The letter lists the clinician's name, license type, license number, issuing state and the date.
There are no add-ons to choose from. We don't charge extra for the PDF, and we don't sell ID cards, vests, certificates or registry listings, because none of these are required under federal law and the Department of Justice says online certificates convey no rights under the ADA.
- A 5–10 minute evaluation with a licensed clinician
- A signed PDF letter, only if the clinician approves one
- Clinician license details so the letter can be checked

Pricing by number of dogs
Most people have one psychiatric service dog, and some have a second dog that is in training or shares tasks. The standard letter covers up to two dogs at $149, so you don't pay twice for a common situation.
If you have three dogs, the letter costs $229. The clinician still needs to understand how each dog's trained tasks relate to your disability, so be ready to describe what each one does.
Keep in mind that a letter covering more dogs doesn't change what others must allow. For example, airlines may limit a passenger to two service animals, and housing providers review each animal as part of your accommodation request.
Pay only if approved
Booking is free. During your evaluation, the clinician asks about your condition, how it affects daily life, and what your dog has been trained to do. If they decide a PSD letter is appropriate, you complete payment and receive your letter.
If the clinician decides a PSD letter isn't appropriate, you aren't charged. One common reason is that a dog provides comfort but hasn't been trained to perform a specific task. In that case, an emotional support animal (ESA) letter may be the accurate document; we don't sell ESA letters, but the clinician can explain the difference.
Payment doesn't change the clinician's decision. Clinicians make an independent judgment based on what you share, and we never promise approval.
What the price doesn't include
No document can promise that a landlord, airline or employer will accept your dog. Housing providers decide accommodation requests case by case, and airlines may require the DOT Service Animal Air Transportation Form whether or not you have a letter.
A letter also isn't needed for, and doesn't give you, access to stores, restaurants and other public places. Under the ADA, staff can ask only two questions and can't ask for paperwork. Your dog's training and behavior are what count there.
No subscriptions or renewals
This is a one-time fee. There is no membership, no auto-renewal and no recurring charge. Some housing providers prefer recent documentation, so if you need an updated letter later, you can book a new evaluation at the same published prices.
Comparing PSD letter prices
When you compare services, look at what you actually receive. A legitimate letter comes after a real evaluation with a licensed clinician and shows that clinician's license details. Be cautious of offers that sell certificates, registry numbers or ID cards as if they carry legal weight, because under the ADA they don't.
Also watch for prices that change after you've started, recurring renewal charges, or promises that a letter will be accepted. We publish our prices up front and keep them the same for everyone.
How payment works
When you book, you choose how many dogs you need covered. Nothing is charged at booking. After your evaluation, if the clinician approves a letter, you complete payment for the option you selected and your signed PDF is issued.
If you're not sure whether to cover one dog or two, the price is the same for either. Mention each dog during your evaluation and describe the tasks it performs, so the clinician can decide what's appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a PSD letter?
$149 for a letter covering 1–2 dogs and $229 for a letter covering 3 dogs.
Does it cost anything to book?
No. Booking the evaluation is free, and you pay only if the clinician approves a letter.
What happens if I'm not approved?
You aren't charged. The clinician may explain why a PSD letter doesn't fit and what document might be more accurate for your situation.
Are there monthly or annual fees?
No. There's no subscription and no membership; you pay once for the letter.
Do I need to buy a vest, ID card or registration?
No. Federal law doesn't require any of these, and online registrations or certificates have no legal effect under the ADA. We don't sell them.
Can one letter cover two dogs?
Yes. The $149 letter covers up to two dogs, as long as each dog is trained to perform tasks related to your disability.
Does paying more improve my chances with a landlord or airline?
No. Price only reflects how many dogs the letter covers. Housing providers and airlines make their own decisions under the law.
