There's a trend in renters to make your dog an emotional service dog to make it easier to rent an apartment or rental house. You do you boo. But falsifying an emotional support dog just to rent a house damages the reputation of all service dogs and hurts people who really need them. If you take this route, don't buy a service dog or emotional support tag online. They're totally bogus. Instead, get a letter from your doctor certifying that you need an emotional support animal. Your landlord must accept that and allow your pet, regardless of the size and breed, under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). You can read more about emotional support animal certification and the ADA in our article on that topic.
