No I’m not asking for legal advice, I’m more asking like where to start and what benefits it might offer my roommate.
Brownie is an awesome friendly dog, and I think he deserves the badge of emotional support animal. Question is, where to start?

Hey man, if "my dog is loved by everyone " can be used as a cheat code for food covered with insurance, I don’t think you’d need to use Lemmy to find answers.
He’s not my dog, he’s my elderly roommate’s dog.
I’m just asking basic advice on where to start and how to help my roommate…
Yeah, but you’ve been given information, but you didn’t seem to want it? Guy above this kinda lays out why this isn’t a thing.
Umm, do you realize it takes 60 days for my roommate to register or process anything?
Yeah, I figured I might try helping him by asking other people.
Guess you’re no help then, thanks.
If you can’t afford food you should surrender the dog, it’s what a responsible owner would do if left with no choice, and it’s unfortunate if anyone would have to have that course. But rejecting sound advice or information because it’s not what you want to hear is something you should work on being better at.
Did you see how fat Brownie is? He’s definitely not starving…
Roommate’s health insurance changed this year, he’s just trying to figure out what to do…
And we’re here to tell you that you’re not going to find a cheat code to turn a friendly dog with pet insurance into a gateway for free dog food by having your insurance pay for it. Insurance is for health, not for good behavior.
It’s almost like you willingly ignored what I and others have said because you don’t like what you’re hearing.
His previous health insurance allowed him to purchase both human and dog food, but he’s changed insurance providers and has been on the phone with their customer support to see what all they will or won’t allow him to purchase.
A $10 bag of dog food ends up lasting Brownie almost 2 months, so it’s not like some huge massive money saving hack, I’m just trying to see what if any options he might have to perhaps save a few bucks here and there.
I’ve already advised him that he should talk to his doctors and perhaps his case worker about his options the next time he goes in for an appointment.
