Just booked my flight to go home for the summer with Southwest. Before the ban, i flew with my dog for many years as ESA. She’s a legitimate ESA that was recommended by my doctor for my disability (not a fake that people pay for). Her letter refers her as a psychiatric service animal, but I definitely don’t treat her as one, and I haven’t had her trained to the extent of a service animal other than things she does on her own (like deep pressure therapy and tactile stimulation) so I think I’d rather just bring her as a carry on pet then stress about her being accepted as a service animal. She hasn’t been in a crate since she was a puppy so I’m a bit nervous on how she will do with it. How strict are they with the dog being “outside” of the carrier? I bought one where the top can be unzipped so she can have her head out. I think as long as she can see me she will do fine.
