So, last year my service dog had to be retired, and I got rid of all of her vests and things and basically retired her to a pet. It was hard, and it’s prevented me from getting a new dog; I feel like I’m replacing her. But the time has come. I’m not functioning well, and I need a service dog.

So anyone with a LEGITIMATE service dog: where do y’all get your vests and patches? Do you put patches on your vest? Anyone go without a vest at all? Should I go the route of purchasing a service dog through an agency or getting a rescue and training my own (I did this with my past 2)

I feel like I’m starting all over here, so any advice would help 😊
