FAQs
Our commitment is to provide accessible, compassionate wellness services and empower you with the tools to thrive alongside your furry companion
Service animals are individually trained to perform specific tasks for a person with a disability and have public access rights under the ADA. Emotional support animals don't require special training and provide comfort through their presence, but they don't share those same public access rights — they're recognized for housing accommodations under the Fair Housing Act instead.
You'll need a signed ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional, on official letterhead, stating that you have an emotional or mental health condition and that an ESA is part of your treatment plan. We connect you with a licensed therapist who can provide this after a real evaluation.
Pet insurance typically doesn't cover pre-existing conditions, routine wellness visits, or cosmetic procedures. ESA letters and consultations through Emma & Buddy are separate from pet insurance, so check your specific policy for what it covers.
An online vet visit lets you consult a licensed veterinarian remotely about general pet health questions. Depending on your plan, an initial consultation may be included at no extra cost — ask your therapist or check your account for details.
Yes — you can update your plan or documentation details anytime by reaching out to our support team through chat, phone, or email on our Contact page.
