How to cancel American Service Pets and reclaim control of your subscription
What American Service Pets is and why you might cancel
American Service Pets is an online platform that connects you with licensed mental health professionals to obtain Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and Psychiatric Service Animal (PSA) letters. The company also sells optional documentation kits, membership packages, and travel bundles designed to help you navigate housing and travel requests. Understanding your current plan is the first step toward cancellation, and Yafee helps thousands of consumers take control of subscriptions that no longer serve their needs.
Before you cancel, you need clarity on what you signed up for and what you are actually paying. American Service Pets structures its offerings in layers, and some packages include optional renewal terms or membership auto-charges that catch consumers off guard. Once you obtain your ESA or PSA letter and complete your intended use (housing application, airline travel, or workplace accommodation), the ongoing membership or renewal fees may no longer deliver value. Cancellation becomes necessary when the service no longer aligns with your financial priorities.
Common reasons consumers cancel American Service Pets
Real user feedback reveals recurring themes. Many consumers report that they obtained their ESA or PSA letter, used it for housing or travel, and no longer need ongoing services or renewal fees. Others discover that the letter alone costs far less than the full package, making the additional kit or membership redundant. Some users find that landlords or airlines accept the letter without the premium travel bundle or printed kit, making upgrades unnecessary. A third group realizes that annual membership renewal charges are not disclosed clearly at checkout, leading to surprise billing. Understanding your reason for cancellation helps you decide whether to request a refund or simply prevent future charges.
Service packages and what you are paying for
American Service Pets offers three primary package tiers, each with different features and pricing. The table below breaks down what you receive with each tier so you can identify what you are actually paying for:

Log into your account at my.americanservicepets.com right now and check your billing history. Look for recurring charges labeled as membership renewal, annual fees, or support plans. This action clarifies whether you are dealing with a one-time purchase or an ongoing subscription that will trigger future billing cycles.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
Your right to cancel American Service Pets is grounded in federal consumer protection law, specifically the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA) and the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), both enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These laws mandate that companies disclose material terms (including auto-renewal features and cancellation deadlines) clearly before charging your payment method. If American Service Pets failed to obtain your express and informed consent for recurring charges, or failed to provide a simple mechanism to cancel, you have legal grounds to dispute the charge and request a refund.
Your legal position under federal law
The FTC's standards are unambiguous: you retain the right to cancel any recurring charge using the same medium by which you enrolled. If you signed up online, the company must allow you to cancel online. The company cannot require you to call a phone number, mail a letter, or complete a form that is materially more burdensome than the enrollment process. Furthermore, the company must honor your cancellation request immediately and must not continue to charge your card after you submit a valid cancellation. If charges continue after your cancellation request, you have the right to dispute those charges with your credit card company or bank.
The FTC's enforcement authority and your escalation path
If American Service Pets refuses to cancel your account or continues to charge you after you request cancellation, you have the authority to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC investigates patterns of consumer abuse and can impose civil penalties, order refunds, or require the company to change its practices. You can file a complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov or contact the FTC's Consumer Sentinel at 1-877-438-4338. Additionally, Yafee provides guidance on documenting your cancellation request and preserving evidence of any unauthorized charges, which strengthens your case if you need to escalate to the FTC or dispute the charge with your bank.
How to cancel American Service Pets
American Service Pets provides multiple cancellation methods, and you should use the method that matches how you enrolled and creates the clearest paper trail. Below, Yafee walks you through each option step by step.
Cancel online through your account dashboard
The fastest and most documented method is to cancel directly through the online account portal. This method leaves an immediate digital record and triggers instant processing.
- Navigate to my.americanservicepets.com and log in with your email address and password.
- Click on "Account Settings" or "Billing" (location varies depending on interface updates).
- Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Membership" link within the billing section.
- Select "Cancel" and choose your reason from the dropdown menu (optional but useful for feedback).
- Review the final confirmation screen to confirm your cancellation effective date.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page for your records.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from American Service Pets within 24 hours.
If the online portal does not display a cancellation option, proceed to email or postal cancellation below. Document the date and time you attempted to cancel online, as this strengthens your position if you need to dispute the charge later.
Cancel by email to customer support
Email cancellation creates a time-stamped record and is enforceable under the FTC's rules on simple cancellation mechanisms. Use this method if the online dashboard does not provide a cancellation link.
- Compose a new email to the official customer support address listed on the American Service Pets contact page.
- In the subject line, write: "Cancellation Request for [Your Name] - Account [Your Email Address]".
- In the email body, include the following information:
- Your full name and the email address associated with your account.
- Your account or order number (visible in your billing history).
- The package name or tier you purchased (e.g., "Deluxe kit with membership").
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my account and all recurring charges effective immediately."
- Your preferred refund method (original payment method or account credit).
- Send the email and wait for a response confirming cancellation within 48 hours.
- Save the sent email and any replies in a dedicated folder for future reference.
If you do not receive a response within 48 hours, send a follow-up email with the same content and reference your first email. Keep both emails as evidence of your good-faith cancellation attempt.
Cancel by postal mail to the official address
Postal mail provides a legally binding paper trail and is particularly useful if you believe American Service Pets may dispute your cancellation or if you are pursuing a refund claim. Use this method if email does not yield a response within five business days.
- Write a cancellation letter on plain paper that includes:
- Your full name and the email address associated with your account.
- Your account or order number.
- The date of your letter.
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my account, all recurring charges, and all future renewals effective immediately."
- Your preferred refund method (original payment method or account credit).
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation and any refund issued.
- Send the letter via certified mail with return receipt requested to the official address:
- American Service Pets
848 North Rainbow Blvd, #509
Las Vegas, Nevada 89107
- Keep the certified mail receipt and the return receipt as proof of delivery.
- Wait 10 business days for a written confirmation of cancellation.
Certified mail with return receipt is admissible evidence in disputes and carries significant weight if you later need to escalate to the FTC or dispute a charge with your bank. Yafee recommends this method when you are concerned about refund eligibility or when previous email requests have been ignored.
Understanding refunds and what you may recover
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you request cancellation and what package you purchased. Under the FTC's standards and the Cooling-Off Rule, you may have different rights depending on your circumstances.
Refund eligibility by timing and package

| Cancellation timing |
Package type |

Action required |
| Within 3 days of purchase |

| 3 to 30 days after purchase |

| After 30 days; renewal charge pending |
Any package with auto-renewal |

How to request a refund in your cancellation
When you submit your cancellation request, explicitly state whether you want a refund. Do not assume the company will offer one automatically. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, include one of the following statements in your cancellation email or letter:
- "I request immediate cancellation and a full refund of [amount] charged on [date], as I purchased this package within the past 3 days."
- "I request immediate cancellation and a pro-rata refund of my unused membership for the period [start date] to [end date]."
- "I request immediate cancellation and a refund of the annual membership renewal charge of [amount] charged on [date], which was not clearly disclosed at checkout."
Document the specific refund amount, the charge date, and your reasoning. This clarity forces the company to respond to your refund claim directly and creates evidence for dispute resolution if the company refuses.
Disputing charges with your bank or credit card company
If American Service Pets refuses your refund request or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have the right to dispute the charge with your payment processor. Contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback or dispute claim. Provide the company with:
- Your cancellation request email or postal letter and proof of delivery.
- Screenshots of your account settings showing cancellation confirmation (if available).
- Evidence of any unauthorized charges after your cancellation date.
- Your billing statements showing the charge dates and amounts.
Your bank will contact American Service Pets and request proof that you authorized the charge. In most cases, if you provide evidence of a valid cancellation request, the bank will reverse the charge within 10 to 30 days. Yafee advises filing your dispute as soon as possible after the unauthorized charge appears, as your bank may have a time limit (typically 60 to 120 days) to investigate.
What happens after you cancel
Once you submit your cancellation request, several actions follow automatically and some require your verification.
Immediate actions American Service Pets must take
Within 24 hours of your cancellation request, the company must:
- Stop all recurring charges from your payment method.
- Send you an email confirmation of cancellation, including the effective date and any refund processing date.
- Deactivate your account access (you may no longer log in to download documents).
Your ESA or PSA letter remains valid for its stated term (typically one year from issuance) and remains legally usable for housing or travel requests even after your account cancellation. The letter itself belongs to you, not to American Service Pets, because it is issued by a licensed mental health professional.
Monitoring your bank account and statements
Over the next two billing cycles, monitor your bank account and credit card statements for any charges from American Service Pets or related billing entities. Common billing names include "American Service Pets," "ASP Services," or the processing company's merchant descriptor. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, take these steps immediately:
- Check your cancellation confirmation email to verify the effective cancellation date.
- Contact American Service Pets support to ask whether the charge is an error or a renewal that should have been blocked.
- If the charge was unauthorized, file a dispute claim with your bank within 60 days of the charge date.
Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder for 30 days after cancellation to review your bank statements. This proactive step catches unauthorized charges quickly, when you have the strongest position for dispute resolution.
Common mistakes to avoid when canceling
Canceling a subscription is straightforward when you follow the right process, but missteps can delay your refund or leave you vulnerable to continued charges. Here are the pitfalls Yafee sees most often.
Failing to document your cancellation request
The biggest mistake is canceling verbally by phone without saving confirmation details. If you speak to a customer service representative, ask them to email you a confirmation of your cancellation request immediately after the call ends. If they refuse, send yourself an email summary of the call (date, time, representative name, what was discussed, and their confirmation number). This creates a record if you later need to dispute an unauthorized charge. Screenshots, email confirmations, and certified mail receipts are your strongest evidence.
Not checking for auto-renewal before canceling
Many consumers cancel their account but forget to disable the auto-renewal feature separately. In some cases, American Service Pets may require you to cancel the auto-renewal setting within your billing preferences before the account itself is canceled. Log into your account and check the "Subscription Settings" or "Renewal Preferences" section before submitting your final cancellation request. Disable any toggle that says "Auto-renew," "Renew automatically," or "Continue membership." Only then submit your cancellation request.
Assuming a refund will be automatic
Never assume American Service Pets will refund your money without an explicit request. The company is not obligated to offer a refund unless you ask within the statutory window (typically three to 30 days depending on your state and the package). Include your refund request in the same communication where you cancel. Be specific: "I request a full refund of $[amount] charged on [date]." This forces the company to respond to your refund claim directly.
Missing the refund eligibility window
Different states recognize different cooling-off periods for online purchases and memberships. Some states offer a three-day window; others offer up to 30 days. Once you move beyond that window, refunds become discretionary unless you can prove the company violated the FTC's disclosure or consent rules. Cancel as soon as you decide the service no longer serves you. Delaying increases your risk of losing refund eligibility and triggering a renewal charge.
Not preserving evidence if you dispute a charge
If you pursue a chargeback or file an FTC complaint, you will need to provide copies of emails, screenshots, certified mail receipts, and your billing statements. Create a folder on your computer or in cloud storage and save every communication related to your subscription and cancellation. Do this the moment you decide to cancel, not weeks later when you may have lost access to your account.
