The app needs some work, but the service and support is incredible. TheraPetic really helped me with in a dire situation when traveling on an airplane with my service dog. I highly recommend checkin them out…hopefully they will have a better app soon.

### 1/5 — THIS IS A SCAM

*2021-11-03*

TheraPetic is a scam Dr. Kenneth Gaughan that issues you letter for ESA and service dog got charged for fraud. They’re not legit they make it look like it’s legit but it’s not. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM.
