Special Needs Pet Certification
Posted: Thu May 19, 2022 3:45 pm
Hi, new member here- our Yorkie has severe protein-losing entropathy, and without our constant care (medicines 8 times daily, home-cooked food, etc.) he's a goner. Question is- is there a process by which we can certify him as special needs (much like a person with emotional needs can qualify their pet to be a 'therapy dog' by having a doctor confirm that the human will suffer if separated from the animal...our case is the reverse).
Example: we travel and stay at an Air BNB- it would be nice to present a certification stating that the dog must be with his humans, due to the dogs "special needs" rather than getting a shrink to concoct a claim that my wife or I must constantly tote the dog around in order to preserve our own mental or emotional stability (which is not really the truth).
Wondering if any of you might have had a similar situation and could provide some insight- thanks!
