@Cheeto gurl Shrek You might call a service animal trainer in your area
@-Breeze- being diagnosed with these doesn’t equal disability. You have to be disabled to qualify for a service dog.
I appreciate the tone you used in this video. It wasn't condescending at all, like some videos of this type can be at times. I learned a lot from your channel so far. Thanks!
Your complete straight face explaining this gives me life. Especially when you smile it radiates "bitch dont try me"
THIS IS really educational to everything for everyone thanks for making this video ... love u Meghan all your pets are beautiful and you are very beautiful !!!
Meghan can you make a video talking about PTSD dogs please. Plus how PTSD dogs are not only for people who served in the military.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
100% yes please. As someone with PTSD due to domestic abuse, sexual abuse and rape it is such a struggle. Its horrible when im invalidated because I am young, and because I am not a veteran.
Yvonne Gonzalez ptsd is not just a military thing a lot of first responders suffer with it as well other service dogs work with epileptic people alerting to a on coming seizure this is a hidden disability you look ok no wheelchair etc
Sophia Israel post traumatic stress disorder
Mimi Jaroszek it's a very disabling problem often evolving flashbacks and panic attacks
I think my oldest dog would be great as a therapy dog. She has so much patience and would be awesome to take her to hospitals.
I love this. Very educational for people who don't understand. I work in retail and I see service dogs and emotional support dogs and these people don't understand the difference. I once had a woman come in with her esa and pick it up and literally set the dog on the checkout counter. The dog wasn't super misbehaved but definitely did not act as well as service dog and this was frustrating for the employees. We love having service animals in the store but when people just bring their dogs in, it can be distraction and frustrating.
It doesn't matter if they are a SD or an ESA, there is no right to put a dog up on the counter. Especially if that could be a sanitary issues. Reasonable accomodation does NOT mean allowing the dog to go anywhere the handler wants. Putting them in shopping carts falls in the same category. You have every legal right to ask them to remove the dog.
I have an ESA. My youngest cat is my Emaotional Support Animal. I get to bring him to college with me, but I have to go through a long process. It is well worth it though. I have trained him myself, not for any task, but a few tricks. He comes when I call his name,Raphael, and he also knows sit and shake. We are working on the down command but it takes a while. Cats are so much more difficult to train then dogs. One thing I hate is when people try to bring an ESA, real or fake, where they are not supoosed to be. It makes all ESAs look bad and makes me seem like a girl who just wants to have her pet in the dorm. In reality he saved me when i was in a dark place in my life. I would frequently be sent home from school because of panic attacks where I would hyperventalate. Though I still have panic attacks I have had far fewer and none where I hyperventalate sice I got my ESA.
I have my cat registered too and she's done the same for me! I love hearing of how ESAs have helped others and I do admit the people who register theirs just for planes and housing are slightly aggravating to me.
You dont need to register any animal to become a ESA., those sites are just after money and hold no legal protection. All you need is a letter from a dr and prove resonable accomidations. ESAs are only allowed in no pet housing, and on air planes.
Mathew White Different rules apply for dorm rooms. At my school I had to get my doctor to fill out a form and it went before a board of people who decided whether he got to come with me or not.
Whitney Thiher it's called reasonable accommodation. If the school says OK, that thier decision.
Mathew White I know. Raphael is still my ESA.
I’m getting an emotional support ferret :)
I’m so glad you made this video!
My school district had a therapy dog that a deputy brings in everyday! His name is Parker and he's adorable. He takes his cuddling and petting times very seriously.
We have a puppy named Fern who we are going to train to become a therapy dog. She will mainly stay in an office and help people work through their problems during a therapy session (these problems could be past trauma, addiction, abuse or one of the many mental disorders). We hope on days off we can take her to schools to educate people about her work and about the problems she will be helping to address. She has yet to start formal training due to her being 3 1/2 months old but her personality is already great. She shows some wariness in new places but she has not once been aggressive or tried to run from people or dogs. We have high hopes for our girl! On another note, she hasn't even become a therapy dog and been out in public with any kind of vest on and I have already had to explain the difference between SDs and TDs. It is quite unfortunate that people just aren't educated about this.
+Am Li that is so awesome!
You really help me 🙏🏼 with this topic
Thank you so much
Hi Meghan...I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, PTSD and Dependent Personality Disorder. Lots going on... I have tried to "make it on my own" but I find that I flashbacks and panic attacks many times a day. I'm wanting to keep working and try to live as "normal" a life as possible but it is difficult...being in public is torturous. I have watched your videos (which are very informative) and have looked for more information on the internet but it's a rabbit hole. I am in Texas (like you) and would really appreciate some information about legit places that train Service Dogs. Also, how do I get the ball rolling on applying for an SD? I also know that training an SD is very expensive...more than I can really afford...I've seen $5k - $14k for the training. Are there any places that will help offset the cost of an SD? Thanks for reading this and for helping people (including myself) to understand the differences in an SD, ESD and TD. Again, I appreciate any information you can give me. Michelle
Just FYI, under Texas and federal law, to qualify for service dog you have to be legally disabled. As you stated, these are diagnosis.
You can reach out to me on Instagram for information. I always answer chats
Thank you for making this video! This helped out a lot !!!
Depending on where you plan to take your therapy dog, you may not need to register him/her. Therapy dog certification can be achieved through various organizations but we recommend the AKC. To earn the AKC Therapy Dog title, you and your dog must do the following:
Be certified by a therapy dog organization that is recognized by the AKC
Perform the required number of visits:
AKC Therapy Dog Distinguished (THDD) - 400 visits
AKC Therapy Dog Excellent (THDX) - 200 visits
AKC Therapy Dog Advanced (THDA) - 100 visits
AKC Therapy Dog (THD) - 50 visits
AKC Therapy Dog Novice (THDN) - 10 visits
Dog must be registered with AKC (both purebred and mixed breed dogs are eligible)
I would love to get my dogs trained as therapy dogs one day. They are so cute, smart and at 20 lbs, the perfect size to navigate nursing homes.
Loved this video!! Thank you for making this!!
VERY helpful. Thank you so much!
This video was great! Thank you for making a video about this :)
Also, I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem, but there wasn't an I card available on the video D:
That is a really helpful video, thanks!
Thank you this one cleared up alot
Thank you so much. I have an animal for ptsd and depression and now I can explain she's an Emotional Support Animal. And housing is exactly why I have her as an ESA. And she behaves very well in public.
Even if she behaves in public she has no access rights as a ESA. Only service animals can go to no pet places.
Good video! I have a friend that trains service dogs (mobility and hearing) and this is a HUGE issue for her... People not understanding the difference and taking their pet or "ESA" into public places where they are not supposed to be. With the recent airplane incident, this is a good thing to cover.
Cats can also be therapy and emotional support animals :3
+julia axel any animal can
Hi! i made a comment on here a long time ago about how i had an ESA dog that i took out in public with me. i got a lot of back lash and rightfully so. i didnt fully understand the laws but watching your video and others' videos really helped me! i am now owner training my actual real service dog so he can alert me for my POTS, asthma, CFS, and panic disorder!!!
+Lucy Wyke-Smith that's awesome to hear! Good job!
Happy Tails thank you so much! i apologise for taking advantage of my rights. it was very inappropriate for me to do. i am glad i know (and follow) the laws now!!! 💓
I LOVE your videos❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video!
great video
love the video
im getting a emotional support doggo 😁
This is very interesting it's good that you're making people more aware of this cause a lot of people (myself included until a few months ago) was not aware that ESA's were not service animals. I knew what therapy dogs were because my mom works in a hospital.
Thank you! Training my girl to be my psychiatric service dog.
VERY informative, thanks so much ! I've learned that in canada, the MIRA foundation (for the blind ans phisically disabled) take the puppies that don't pass the "test" and switch their training for therapy dogs, OR somewhere between therapy/service dogs for autistic and ptsd people, therefore are allowed in public places. I am not aware of the rights act, like the one you mention for the US, but i will definately make my researches as i want my boys with autism to have an ESA dog :)
I stand corrected.
i know this is an old video but I am so happy to have found a good thing to send to people who are confused as to my dog's job. he is a therapy dog who's primary placement through our organization is a nursing home. many people think he is a service animal for me. his job has very little to do with me actually and it's annoying to explain.
Thank you for clearing this up for me! At first I as thinking I needed to go in the direction of my dog becoming an ESA but now I realize I need to train her to become a psychiatric service dog. I feel like training her to do more tasks than DPT could be very beneficial. Currently looking for a trainer to assist me! Thank you ^-^
Thank you so much for making this video Meghan! So many people don't understand and it gets really annoying at times.
I do have an ESA. I trained him, I’m aware he is not able to go in public places. I suffer from GAD, severe anxiety, panick attacks and a few more, or large crowds, airports, malls, rooms with a lot of people. I’m going on a trip and meeting with people all over the country. There are going to be about 1000 people. I contacted the hotel owner and asked if they could allow the dog full access around the hotel, except the pool. Is it illegal because esas don’t have public access, or not illegal because I asked the hotel and they gave permission?
Juliana.15 this is late but if the hotel manager says ok then it’s ok sorry I couldn’t give an earlier comment
Animal Lover it’s okay. Thanks
Can you do a tips video for people wanting to train their own service animal
You should get a professional for that.
@@dinahwetzel6524 There are plenty of handler-trained service dogs that are successful. ADA (federal law) does not require professional training & frankly, private trainers & programs are just too expensive for most. It costs thousands of dollars & there are no insurance companies that cover the costs of a SD.
Can you please do more Rat videos I am getting Rats for Christmas and I want to know as much as possible!😊
P.S I love you videos so much your my favourite CZcamsr!
im a rat
Tart Zimmer okay?😜
Bruh...before this video played I got an ad for a fake website to "register" your dog as a service dog and get a certificate, which is ironic .
love you
I get panic attacks at home and school and i have depression that make me space out for days at a time and not be able to get work done. Would I be able to get a an ESA or would a SD help to keep me grounded throughout everyday events?
Back in high school I had a teacher who was considering getting a therapy dog because we were in 1 of the 3 classes for students with psychiatric and developmental disabilities
The 3 classes are: LRC, EGC and Life Skills. LRC is sometimes used as a study hall in some schools but it was for disabilities in mine. They kinda organized it based on the students behavior and severity of disabilities. LRC was least severe and Life Skills was most severe. EGC was the middle ground but also used for students with severe behavioral disabilities that made them unsafe in LRC but not unsafe enough for life skills. It’s hard to explain
Edit: I have 2 anxiety disorders and autism + PTSD. But my PTSD was not considered relevant for those classrooms
A lot of people don't know this but there is such things as ESA Cats. A few years ago a kid with an mental problem (I don't remember what it was a long time ago) took a liking to my cat. We were moving and sadly had to get rid of him, and the boy's parents asked if they could take him for emotional support for there son. We didn't keep In contact sadly. Hope he's doing well! 🐈🐱
+Djandria did you even watch this? An esa cat is not unusual at all. The a stands for animal, any animal can be an esa.
Are you asking yourself, “Can my dog be a therapy dog?” It’s important to first state that not all dogs are good candidates to be therapy dogs. Therapy dogs should be naturally calm as well as affectionate and friendly to strangers. They need to be obedient in addition to having regular wellness check-ups and also be well-groomed for each visit.
To train a dog to be a therapy dog, you may wish to do the following:
Socialize your dog to new people, places and things
Complete obedience training with commands like look and leave it in addition to teaching them to not jump on people and more
Enroll your dog in a therapy dog class
Register your dog with a national therapy dog organization
wow it's so much easier to take in all this info with the birds constantly chirping in the background
My channel probably isn't for you then
My dog is a Therapy Dog all time 'round, we take her to local hospitals, libraries, and schools. But she is also an Emotional Support dog for my sister. She suffers Anxiety and Depression, so only during sertain times are people not suppost to pet her.
+Athena Skystar you are the first person to comment saying they have a therapy dog that actually has a therapy dog. Most people don't know what a therapy dog is.
Thank you for the great video. ps you are beautiful
meghgan u def. need more subs. !!!
A service dog is trained to help people with disabilities such as visual impairments, mental illnesses, seizure disorders, diabetes, etc. A therapy dog is trained to provide comfort and affection to people in hospice, disaster areas, retirement homes, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and more. Emotional support dogs provide their owners therapeutic benefits through companionship
Where is that top from!?! I need it in my life!
I’m getting an anxiety+ service dog, but it’ll preform tasks
What you do mean, "but it will perform tasks"? If it didnt perform tasks then it would not be a service dog. Tasks are not optional
im trying to convince my mom to get me a dog for my anxiety and ptsd, and its hard to specify what kind it would be under. i get really bad anxiety inside of schools (im in high school) and i tend to get panic attacks when people grab me by the wrists and when i hear the band twenty one pilots or anything that sounds similar, and when i see things with twenty one pilots things on it, so i tend to get even more anxious in public places.
its hard for me to be in public places and sometimes even at home, i can be sent into panic attacks out of nowhere. so what do i do?
I thought I would need something else, but I think I may need an ESA! I was thinking about a service dog for a while but my anxiety attacks are mostly at night when I’m at home so I could train a dog to perform DPT and to detect when panic attacks are coming on at home! I’m not sure whether this would help or not bc a lot of my panic attacks are in public where I can’t bring an ESA, but I’m sure as heck willing to try!
Needs updating - there have been changes in air travel rules. Airlines do not have to allow emotional support animals.
So for depression and anxiety my dog would typically be a ESA. BUT if he is trained to do a task he would be a service animal? He is trained by myself to paw me to get my attention wait for command and then hug me when he senses me getting upset worried etc. if I am put in a situation abruptly, example: taking a walk and a stray dog approaches barking growling whatever he is trained to guard me and hold still and keep me calm to avoid me being scared and or sending me in a panic attack. (I'm actually afraid of dogs lol) all while he is being extremely well behaved. So would He be considered a esa or service animal?
+Amanda Murray sounds like you have trained him for task work. I would suggest just consulting with a dog trainer to make sure the dog is able to do the tasks on command all the time and is suitable for public access.
Amanda Murray You could train it as a psychiatric service dog. For Anxiety, Severe Depression, PTSD, Phobias, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, or Panic attacks. It would be a trained ESA.
Under the ADA you would have a service dog because they are trained for a task and behave in demanding situations.
I had this exact same question! I have PTSD from my brothers suicide and my father's death, both within the last few months. My dog is a puppy and still learning, so staff or employees are often more considerate when she does get out of line. She is already learning to be calm and alert and do the hugging thing when I get overly anxious. She also barks when a person or animal makes me feel threatened, but she ignores the average person.

99the view 20th like and 10th comment and I feel so accomplished!
I have a question. If my dog is an emotional support animal but he has helped me through anxiety attacks. I tend to start hyperventilating, crying, and then I slowly start just falling to the floor and more than half the time I pass out. He always does this weird thing where he nuzzles my neck if he can and it REALLY calms me down and the amount of times I've passed out has lessened since he starting doing it. It really gets me out of those attacks. What category does he fall under? He wasn't trained to do this nuzzle thing either...
+Got7 BTS service dogs require months or even years of training. It's very simple, has your dog gone through tons of training to be a service dog? If they answer is no then it's not a service dog.
Got7 BTS Legally you cant have a service dog for just anxiety, Thats what ive heard from many people so.. I really belive he/she would be under the esa/sd which has public access to pet friendly stores/places if you train your dog to become a sd then would be considered a SdiT. Ask your Therapist/consler for more info
Tell us about the beautiful birds I hear in backround! What kind are they finches? Parakeets, lovebirds?
Now that is a real choke cleaning cages YIPES!
Loved the video and the explanation for people who don't understand!
So i have a question...
I have anxiety and i more then often have panic attacks that cause me to cause myself harm or start to unconsciously... i do have a rat and she helps 24/7 by sitting on my shoulder or (this irritates my mom but its calming for me) her nails do slight scratches that snap me out of my anxiety of whatever situation im in. But, i have a ton of attacks while in school. I know that i would have to train her if she does become a service animal *shes 4 almost 5 months now* whould i be able to have her as a esa or a service animal. I've delt with the anxiety since 6th grade but my physical atracks have happened for 2 years now. Whould i be able to get her qualified to be a support animal?
And make sure your ESA is not barking at a service dog from a shopping cart. You would think all that barking would cause more stress than comfort.
I actually had to get my cat legally registered as an emotional support/therapy animal for when I lived on campus. It wasn't simply to get her in the college dorms, as I know people have done and still do (rather annoying), but rather to treat my panic attacks and help cope with my depression. She's been a wonder since I got her two years ago. Even if she's not trained to do much, I do believe that personality is a huge factor. I would have never registered my childhood cat because she's not as keen on when I'm feeling bad. She wouldn't pay any mind to me having a mental breakdown. Nova, the cat I registered, will walk up to me and sniff me when she knows I'm not okay. She will deliberately keep herself close to me and often lays on me until I feel better. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so.
+Jillian J that's great about your cat but it sounds like you have a lot to learn about assistance animals. Therapy animals go to hospitals, nursing homes etc doing volunteer work visiting people. Doesn't sound like your cat is a therapy cat. Also, there is no such thing as a "registered" emotional support animal. There is no way you can legally have your cat registered in the US since a registry does not exist. As I said in the beginning, if you aren't familiar with assistance animals then don't watch this video, watch the video that explains all these terms, it's in the icard.
It sounds like you might not have the correct paper work to actually call your cat an esa.
@@HappyTailsAnimals when I say registration, I mean what I did with my therapist. I have documentation from a therapist. Every landlord and college I've been to has accepted her paperwork. And no, she's an emotional support animal for me. Not a therapy animal. P.s. Everyone is allowed to watch whatever they want on CZcams but thanks 👌
Oh the finches
Meghan/HappyTails I hope this doesn't sound rude but why do you have a skunk in your intro? Do you own one or did you at one point? P.S. I love you and your channel 😊😊
watch my farm tour ;)
My cat is a ESA and I’m going talk to my therapist about it I sometimes have anxiety and other things like ADHD so an ESA is probably the best thing and a lot of places where I live allow pets so it’s ok
I have a bad limp and a paralyzed arm from a motorcycle accident 15 years ago and I've always wondered I would be eligible for a service dog and if so what type of tasks a dog can be trained to do to help do you have any insight on this?
+Jason Green mobility support and the dog could also help pick things up and grab things
my service dogs for anxiety panic attack ptsd and much more service dogs can be used for anxiety
I have severe anxiety that doesn’t allow me to go to school even, and I have breakdowns because of the thought of school. If I had an ESD or SD, which one would I have? EDIT: I have ADHD as well as very mild depression. Added with those will probably affect the answer, so that is why i added this edit. Thank you for reading.
also my esa is trained the same extent as my service dog
I think I might need a service dog for my anxiety because when I was in the shower a month or mabye two ago, I felt so stressed for some reason, and almost fainted. I felt sick, and had to sit down for 10 to 15 minutes untill I was sure that I could get up again. I felt really dizzy and my vision blured out for a minute. However, I'm too scared to tell my mom about this, she's an RN, and doesn't like when we complain about medical stuff, so I'm scared she'd only laugh and tell me no. Please help me.
Caspian is beautiful what breed is he?
Wait where's the i card I can't find it
You will find that there is some crossover when it comes to mental health between the ESA and Service Dogs. There are mental/emotional conditions in which people need the animal to be with them to go outside (at all), to go to the grocery store or to deal with people. The dog is trained to recognize when the person is anxious and will put themselves between their person and whatever they see is causing the anxiety. They even will attempt to pull the person away from it if they are non-responsive and lick their face if they are having an anxiety attack. I have social anxiety disorder and crowds larger than 10 people make me vary nervous. I have a service dog, who does all those things for me. She only ever barks whenever someone knocks on the door and she is registered in my state as a Service Dog..
its like you saw this video and said, "I don't need to watch, I'm just going to comment nonsense"
Does it make sense that my ESA is trained to help with panic attacks?
yes
I’m getting a service dog/ therapeutic dog for anxiety.. to preform tasks for me. Cause it effects my everyday life, also my PTSD and cardiac issue
Chickie Pie I wAs vvv tired when I posted that oop-
stupid question- but what about a service dog for anger? i dunno why i have anger. but i do. and its very intense over the teeniest of things- i feel like a dog could kind of "snap me out of it" when i lose control. and also help calm me down. also in those turn of events i end up hurting myself. like biting, scratching, and hitting my arm against things. i havent been diagnosed with anything or even went to a medical doctor (yet)
That sounds like anxiety
Question I need someone to answer please
Is there an age requirement for a service dog? I keep searching it on ada.gov but nothing is showing. I ask this because in the comments under a video someone said “that dog is too old to be in training” it definitely wasn’t an elderly dog but it wasn’t a puppy either.
It takes thousands of dollars to train a service dog. So think of it as an investment. If your dog is 6 years old, you dont want to spend tons of money training him when he will need to be retired in two or three years. You want to train a younger dog so that you have help for your disability for a long time.
Can you please make a chinchilla cage Tour and by the way I love your videos
ive been doing some research on service dogs and your video was rlly helpful! i really want a service dog, as i have social anxiety and almost all of my panic attacks have been in public/induced by stress from others. i do have specific tasks they could provide for me (bringing me meds, getting help when im panicking, providing touch/contact to ground me during an overload, things like that).would that qualify me to get a service dog? (i know theres other requirements, but im talking about mental disorders). anyone who has knowledge of this pls?
kaden exactly what I am wondering!? It’s so bad I can barely go grocery shopping anymore...
I think yes, but first you'd have to be qualified for one.
ESAs do NOT have public access.... if you have panic attacks such that you need help in public. you need a service dog, period. If you have an ESA and are taking it to public places, you are breaking the law and in many states, that is illegally passing off a non-SD as a SD and can get you in trouble with the law if a business decides to report you. So just don't do it. The best thing to do if you do need a SD is to apply through legitimate well-credentialed SD training organizations like CCI, but unfortunately the demand always outstrips the need so waits for trained dogs are often at least 2-3 years (also because a dog has to be trained for YOUR specific needs).
kaden yes you can train them fort deep pressure therapy, and brining you meds which are tasks you can have them do!
If you want your dog to be a service dog do you need to get them from a breeder, and do they have to be eight weeks old when you get them, or can they be a bit older (in my case five months)?
Sarah Howell any dog, age, breed or size can be as long as they have the right temperament and training
to add to my last statement the animal must meet all requirements set forth by the ADA.
I give Meghan F I V E S T A R S ! ! !
How would I get one an esa if i never been treated for anything or went to thearpy before? I don't have insurance or the luxury to see someone from time to time. Maybe i could pay out of pocket for like 1-2 sessions, do you think they'd give me one upfront if i talked to them about it? Or no because i haven't been there 'in their care' long enough? HELP. Puhhhhlease
If you really had a serious clinical diagnosis then they could help you. If you just want a dog who's trained, it's not really an ESA or service dog. I recommend consulting a doctor.
can you show us how you feed your sugar glideres i am getting one soon and don't know how to prepare there meal
If you don't know how to take care of them, than why are you getting one? I hate it when people don't do their research before getting a pet.
what noise was that at 10:04? hahaha
I suffer from severe panic attacks that can happen any where at anytime. Do you think a dog will help?
Zaggora if it is disabling and your doctor thinks it will help, to be a servive dog tthe dog has to be tasked trained for your disability. And just a warning if you do get a service dog be prepared for being started at people yelling doggy and kids running at you which might trigger a panic attack!
A friend of mine that has a SD for her PTSD has this very issue, often times getting harassed about her dog needing to be with her, triggers attacks. It definitely is no panacea for people with this issue.
with ur rodent mix can the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds be raw or do they need to be roasted
Raw is just fine for rodents :)
Casper the Rat I use raw 🐀
Not everyone with PTSD is a Veteran and also fit into ADA rules.
+Bill Clisham yeah that's why it's called an example. If you don't know what that word means then use google's dictionary
Can you make a video of training him or her
Can a boerbel mastiff be a ESA?
Emotional support dogs provide comfort, a calming presence and company. Emotional support dogs do not have access to all public areas, but there are two legal protections. First, they can fly with a person who has an emotional or psychological disability. Second, they can qualify for no-pet housing. A letter from a physician may be requested by housing authorities and airlines because the use of emotional support dogs has been abused by some over the years.
There is no formal training needed to be an emotional support dog, which is why you may see some that are not the most well-behaved. However, there are some characteristics you’ll want to know, so you have the best experience with your emotional support dog.
What would my dog be called bc shes for my depression and anxiety because sometimes i will pass out from stress
What your dog is called is based on what she does for you, not the condition you have.
Do Emotional Support Animals have to be dogs? Because if not my lepord gekeo would make a great ESA
Hi maghan, I really love your videos! But I was allways wondering wich speacies of your animals you have spayed or castrated!
Please make a video of what animals you need to spay or castrat
I know ferret females need to get spayed or they'll die after making of birth,
But I'll love to know wich animal need to get that.
Thanks!111!11!11
i have a service dog but i also have a esa there different and not the same
