Service Dog Recommendation Letter
Service Dog Recommendation Letter
November 25, 2050
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to recommend that my patient, Ms. Emily Roberts, be considered for a service dog to assist with managing her complex medical condition. I have been treating Ms. Roberts for the past three years, and during this time, I have observed firsthand the challenges she faces due to her diagnosis of severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorder.
Ms. Roberts’ condition significantly impairs her ability to carry out daily activities. She experiences frequent anxiety attacks, hypervigilance, and severe emotional distress, which can be triggered by various environmental stimuli. As a result, she struggles with maintaining a consistent routine, managing social interactions, and participating in activities that would otherwise be part of a healthy lifestyle.
A service dog would provide Ms. Roberts with critical assistance in managing her symptoms. Specifically, the dog would help by offering emotional support, alerting her during anxiety episodes, and providing physical grounding during moments of heightened distress. The presence of a well-trained service dog could reduce her feelings of isolation, provide comfort during moments of crisis, and help her regain a sense of independence.
Additionally, the service dog could assist Ms. Roberts with other tasks such as retrieving medication, opening doors, and offering physical support during moments of dizziness or instability, which are occasionally exacerbated by her PTSD-related symptoms. Having a service dog would allow Ms. Roberts to feel safer and more confident when navigating public spaces, as it would offer her the ability to better manage her triggers and enhance her coping mechanisms.
Given Ms. Roberts’ long-standing treatment and the therapeutic progress we’ve made, I strongly believe that a service dog would significantly improve her quality of life. It would help her engage more fully with the world around her, support her mental health recovery, and provide her with the stability needed to achieve greater independence.
