To qualify for assistance, veterans and their service dogs must meet the following criteria:
Veteran must verify their service on Active Duty, Guard, or Reserve with a discharge characterization of anything other than "Dishonorable." There is no time requirement for service.
Veteran must have a verifiable diagnosis of a service-connected condition that requires the use of a service dog. Conditions include post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, military sexual trauma, arthritis, debilitating back injury, amputation, or legal blindness.
The service dog must be treated in a potential or completed episode of care by a licensed veterinarian, or a veterinary tech/assistant under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
The service dog requires non-routine emergency, critical, or specialty care.
If you and your service dog meet these requirements, please fill out our application.
Kaya's K9s works diligently to ensure every application is given thorough and fair consideration. Please allow up to 2 business days for follow-up and review.
