Service dog funding

[Gryphan]

I was approved for a service dog program. Is anyone aware of grants for PTSD dogs for non-military people with PTSD in the US?

No, but if you hear of one, I'd like to know. I trained my own and she lived a long life for her breed so I bought another and she is not a service dog in the making. She is a great companion, but she wants to think about what I want her to do before she does it. Good luck with your search!

I'm curious, does the program you were approved for also offer any grants or funds? Or, they've approved you, but your insurance won't co-pay?

I don't think they offer financial assistance, and from what I understand, medical insurance doesn't cover service animals. The program I was approved for does, however, offer a discount for mental health providers. I'm a therapist, so that will be helpful.
