Is USA Service Dogs Legit?

Yes. USA Service Dogs has been in business since 2015, is operated from Hicksville, New York, and has served well over a million service dog and emotional support animal handlers. Our reviews are collected by independent services after purchase, our guarantee is in writing on our return policy page, and a real support team answers the phone.

We are also clear about what we are not. There is no official government registry for service dogs or emotional support animals in the United States, and no law requires you to register your dog. USA Service Dogs is an independent registry and equipment supplier. Registration with us gives you an ID card, a certificate and a searchable listing that make identifying your dog easier in daily life. It is an identification tool, not a legal credential, and any company that tells you a registration confers legal rights is misleading you. Our guide to service dog certification explains what actually matters under the law.

Reviews You Can Verify

We don't host our own reviews. They are collected and published by third-party platforms from customers who actually ordered, and you can read every one of them there:

Our Guarantee

  • 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied and we can't put it right, let us know within 30 days of receiving your order, return the items, and we'll refund you in full. Partial returns are accepted too.
  • Free exchange on anything that doesn't fit. Ordered the wrong vest or collar size? Tell us within 30 days and we'll send the right size at no charge once the original is on its way back.
  • No subscriptions, no renewals. Registration is for the lifetime of your dog. You pay once.
  • ESA letters are refundable if declined. If the licensed therapist decides an ESA letter isn't appropriate for you, you receive a refund less a $35 consultation fee.

The full terms are on our return policy page.

What You Get From Us

Service dog and ESA registration

A photo ID card with your dog's registration number and a summary of your rights on the back, a certificate, a digital ID delivered the same day, and a listing anyone can confirm on our ID lookup. Kits ship quickly from our warehouse, with express options at checkout. Service dog registration · Emotional support animal registration

ESA letters from licensed therapists

We connect you with a licensed therapist for a real video evaluation. If a letter is appropriate, it's issued through a secure portal and meets the Fair Housing Act's documentation standard, and the specific rules of states like California that require more. We don't issue letters from a questionnaire. Learn about our ESA letter evaluation

Vests, leashes, collars, tags and ID accessories in sizes for every dog, with a sizing chart and a free exchange if you get it wrong. Visit the shop

Straight answers about the law

Our Info Center explains the ADA, the Fair Housing Act and airline rules in plain English, including what changed for ESAs in 2021, with guides for every state. We'd rather you know exactly what your rights are than buy something you don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is USA Service Dogs legit?

Yes. USA Service Dogs has operated since 2015, has collected more than 69,000 five-star reviews on independent platforms including Shopper Approved, Trustpilot and Google, and backs every order with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We are an independent registry and equipment supplier, not a government agency, and we say so on every page.

Is registration with USA Service Dogs official?

There is no official government registry for service dogs or emotional support animals in the United States, and no law requires registration. Registration with us gives you an ID card, certificate and a searchable listing that make identifying your dog easier. It is an identification tool, not a legal credential, and we never claim otherwise.

What if I'm not satisfied with my order?

Contact us within 30 days of receiving your items. If we can't resolve the issue, return the items and we'll issue a full refund. Equipment that doesn't fit, such as a vest or collar, can be exchanged for the right size free of charge within 30 days.

Are the reviews real?

Yes. Our reviews are collected by independent services - Shopper Approved, Trustpilot and Google - from verified customers after purchase. You can read them directly on those platforms; we link to each one on this page.

Are your ESA letters legitimate?

Yes. An ESA letter ordered through us comes from a licensed therapist after a real video evaluation, not from a questionnaire. If the therapist decides a letter isn't appropriate, you receive a refund less a $35 consultation fee. Where a state requires more, such as California's 30-day relationship rule, the evaluation follows that state's requirements.

How can I reach a real person?

By phone at 888-656-3647 from 9 am to 8 pm ET Monday to Friday and 12 pm to 3 pm ET on weekends, or by live chat and email at orders@usaservicedogs.org.
