"I would give my experience 10000/5 stars! I have already recommended your company to another friend. It was a straightforward no gimmicks service, and the doctor was genuinely concerned.
My new rescue cat Marston really appreciates that he is able to live with me now!

"I would definitely say a 5/5 star rating! It was the best service I have ever received. They were quick, and knew what was needed for the time being!"

"They are five stars all the way! The site helped set me up with a professional therapist, who is licensed in my state. It was very easy to setup calls or opportunities to communicate with them that worked for both of us.
Most of all they allowed me to keep my cats Mew and Espurr. “
I wanted a dog and it was cheaper to go with Pettable than pay a fee. Getting their ESA service was extremely easy. I just had to wait on my appointment for a week, but once I've got that settled, it took an hour. The process was smooth. All you do is sign up, make an account, and a reputable doctor will give you an ESA letter.
I sought out Pettable's ESA services when I got a cat, primarily because my doctor didn't have a valid license to provide the necessary certification. The process of getting my pet registered was more expensive than anticipated, though it was undeniably convenient and quick.
This was such a fast process and it was such a comfort to know that Pettable would take care of all the legal hoops I might need to jump through. I have yet to find a new therapist in my area who I like and is covered by my insurance, so having Pettable was a huge help to get me through the initial ESA process. Can recommend!
Experienced team and easy to work with and efficient. Professional, cared about my circumstances - was a great listener and willing to listen and help. Definitely understood the value a service animal brings to someone who is struggling. The paperwork was appropriate and the team was efficient and detailed. I would highly recommend to others in the same situation.
I was in need of an ESA and went through Pettable since it was recommended by a friend. I had an amazing experience, not having any issues along the way with the process and my therapist was very helpful with any questions I did have. I have already recommended to a friend!
I was happy with the people I talked to at Pettable. They were very helpful and they seemed to understand what I was going through, and that helped. They're strict here because there are so many dogs in the building, but the approval went through for me well and I've got my dog with me. Pettable's service was top-notch. I would recommend them to anyone. They're a great help, and I think almost anyone would be satisfied.
I rescued Melvin when he was a pup, and ever since we do everything together. He makes me feel like I can relax and he’s always watching and paying attention to things that maybe I don’t. I feel like he can sense when I’m feeling a certain way and I love that! My goal is to train him to be a service dog to go into children’s hospitals and volunteer there with him! He has helped me feel happy and safe and I want him to do the same for others!

ESA Laws in Wisconsin
Many laws regarding emotional support animals are set at the federal level, and Wisconsin follows federal law. In addition, Wisconsin law states that if you misrepresent an ESA status, you will be fined.
Here we'll explore all the specific laws in Wisconsin regarding ESAs in various settings, such as housing, workplace, travel, or other public spaces. These details can help inform you as to your rights and protections as the owner of an emotional support animal in Wisconsin.
Emotional Support Animals in Wisconsin
If you struggle with an emotional or mental health condition, you may be eligible for an emotional support animal in Wisconsin.
The state is aware of the daily challenges presented to those with mental illness and enforces laws and policies that are considerate of people in this position. This includes striving to protect emotional support animals and their owners.
Wisconsin's ESA Travel Laws
Early 2021 brought modifications to the Air Carrier Access Act. While it previously protected the rights of both emotional support and service animals to board the cabin of any flight, now only service animals are provided this protection. Airlines are no longer obligated to allow ESAs to board a flight with their owner.
Some airlines do, however, still choose to accept emotional support animals. You'll need to contact an airline beforehand to find out if they will accommodate your assistance animal. If not, you may still be able to have them fly with you, just as a regular pet in a small carrier underneath your seat.
Wisconsin public transportation also is not required to accept ESAs. To travel in public or be ensured acceptance in public spaces, an animal needs to be designated as a service dog (more detail on this in the FAQ section).
Wisconsin Fair Housing & Employment Act
There is no law in place at this time that requires employers to accept emotional support animals in the workplace.
However, as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prevents employers from discriminating against employees with disabilities, some do choose to be flexible. It never hurts to ask!
If you think you'd feel better bringing your support animal to work, show your ESA letter to your employer or HR team and see if they might be willing to make accommodations for you.
How Do You Qualify for an ESA in Wisconsin?
If you're interested in finding out if you qualify for an emotional support animal, your next step is to meet with an LMHP in your state who can evaluate your mental health condition and determine your eligibility. Assuming they find you qualify, they'll write you an ESA letter to legitimize your emotional support animal.
Pettable's telehealth marketplace makes it convenient for you to connect with an experienced, vetted LMHP without the hassle.
