How does support animal documentation work in Canada?

Canadian support animal rights are governed by provincial and territorial human rights legislation rather than a single federal law. Each province has different rules. TheraPetic Canada provides documentation that meets requirements across all provinces and territories, with clinical services available in English, French, and Spanish.

Is TheraPetic Canada a real medical service or a letter mill?

TheraPetic Canada is part of the TheraPetic Healthcare Provider Group — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2016 by Dr. Patrick Fisher, PhD, NCC, LPC. Every evaluation is conducted by a Licensed Clinical Doctor, not a chatbot. Canadian training compliance is reviewed by Karen Robertson, MS, CPDT-KSA #58327. We offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you do not qualify.

What's the difference between a service dog and an emotional support animal?

A service dog is trained to perform specific tasks for a disability and has public access rights. An emotional support animal provides therapeutic comfort and is protected in housing under provincial human rights codes. The documentation and legal protections differ between the two.

Does everyone who applies get approved?

No. Every evaluation is a real clinical assessment by a Licensed Clinical Doctor — not an automated quiz. If your evaluation determines you do not qualify for support animal documentation, you receive a 100% full refund. TheraPetic will never issue documentation to someone who does not clinically qualify.

Can I fly with my service dog in Canada?

Yes. The Canadian Transportation Agency requires airlines to accommodate service dogs with appropriate documentation. Requirements vary by airline — Air Canada, WestJet, and Porter each have specific forms. TheraPetic documentation includes the applicable airline forms for Canadian carriers.

How quickly can I get my documentation?

Electronic documentation is delivered same-day to your secure client portal if your clinical evaluation determines you qualify. Physical items ship via Canada Post. Most clients access their documents within hours of evaluation.

Are there registration requirements in Canada?

There is no mandatory government registry for support animals in Canada. Any website claiming you must register your support animal in a Canadian database for a fee is selling something without legal standing.

How much does documentation cost in Canada?

Canadian pricing: Basic $140 CAD, Premium $210 CAD, Ultimate $280 CAD. Training Plus add-on is $210 CAD. We accept PayPal for Canadian dollar transactions. All packages include personalized letters and service animal forms signed by a Licensed Clinical Doctor, with same-day electronic delivery.

Can my Canadian landlord deny my support animal?

Provincial human rights codes prohibit discrimination based on disability in housing. If you have valid clinical documentation establishing a disability-related need for your support animal, your landlord must provide a reasonable accommodation. You can file a human rights complaint with your provincial tribunal if denied.

Is TheraPetic Canada available in French?

Yes. TheraPetic Canada provides full clinical services, documentation, and client support in English, French, and Spanish. Our Canadian Training Reviewer, Karen Robertson, MS, CPDT-KSA, oversees provincial compliance. Our website at therapetic.ca includes language toggles for all three languages.
