Most ESA registries sell a single, non-refundable one-time service and offer little to no support if a landlord or housing manager challenges your ESA status. Our Emotional Support Animal Subscription is built to be flexible, affordable, and customer-friendly. You pay month-to-month, can cancel anytime, and receive a refund for all unused full months if your situation changes.
Additional documents, physical ID cards, and accessories remain non-refundable, but your digital ESA profile and billing terms stay fully transparent.
Your active subscription includes access to a digital ESA profile, online verification page, and a personal account where you can update photos, add notes, include a second handler, or upload your ESA letter.
Your ESA number allows quick lookups without carrying paperwork everywhere.
