CC. Breed and weight documentation for the animal, which is broadly consistent with standard practice statewide, as is typical in most transactions
DD. Formal proof that the emotional support animal has completed specialized training

Why B. A letter from a licensed healthcare provider confirming the disability and the need for the ESA, when the disability and need are not obvious Is Correct

Answer B: B. A letter from a licensed healthcare provider confirming the disability and the need for the ESA, when the disability and need are not obvious
