psychiatric Service Dog
When you’re considering getting a service dog it’s important that you take the time to talk to your medical team. After all, service dogs are medical equipment. You should make a list and include the ways these tasks would help mitigate your disability. For example, a task could be picking up things you drop and it could help mitigate your disability by saving you from having to bend over and causing more pain.After you get to your appointment, I suggest just asking if they agree with your decision and see how they respond. Depending on the doctor and your disability it may simply be a matter of asking.
