What Is an Emotional Support Animal?

An emotional support animal is any animal whose presence helps provide emotional comfort and support to someone with a mental or emotional disability. This animal also must be prescribed, by a licensed mental health professional in the individual's state, to be part of their treatment plan.

While an ESA isn't trained to perform specific tasks to help with a disability, unlike a service animal, their simple presence can help reduce feelings of isolation, help motivate their handlers to perform daily tasks, and can provide an overall sense of mental wellness. Since they're deemed medically necessary, an ESA must be allowed to live with their handler, regardless of a property's pet policy, and is exempt from all breed or weight restrictions, as well as pet fees, deposits, or pet rent.

The Benefits of Having an ESA Housing Letter

No Breed Or Weight Restrictions

Since an ESA does not require specific training, all breeds qualify.

Avoid Pet Fees and Deposits

ESAs are exempt from all pet fees, pet rent, and pet deposits.

Bring Your ESA to More Public Spaces

Some airlines, hotels, and workspaces allow ESAs access.

Frequently Asked Questions

An emotional support animal is any animal that has been prescribed as a necessary part of the treatment program for someone with a mental or emotional disorder. An ESA can be any animal, including a dog, cat, rabbit, or even a bird or reptile.
While ESAs are vital tools that help those with mental or emotional disorders, they are not legally considered service animals. Service animals must be trained to perform at least one task to help mitigate the symptoms of a disability or disorder. Additionally, a service animal must be a dog or a miniature horse, while an ESA can be any animal.
If you have a mental or emotional disability, you may qualify for an ESA. To find out for sure, you must speak with a licensed mental health professional in your state to have them diagnose you and decide if an ESA is right for you.
The Fair Housing Act requires all landlords to allow tenants to live with animals that provide assistance, work, or perform tasks that mitigate the symptoms of a qualified disability - including ESAs.
Only a mental health professional who is licensed in the state can write an ESA letter. US Service Animals will connect you directly with a qualified mental health professional so that your letter is legally valid.
Your ESA letter will have to be renewed annually; otherwise, you risk your landlord no longer accepting your letter once it has expired. To prevent this, US Service Animals makes it easy to seamlessly renew your ESA legally each year.
No, as long as you have a valid ESA letter prescribed by a mental health professional licensed in your state, your landlord must allow your ESA to live with you. The only exceptions are if your ESA is aggressive or destructive.
If that occurs, our customer support or legal team will be happy to speak with your landlord to validate your letter and confirm your legal rights. With US Service Animals, you'll never have to deal with a landlord dispute alone
To get your animal certified as an ESA, you must first connect with a licensed mental health professional in your state to be diagnosed with a mental or emotional disability. Once this is done, they can deem your animal an ESA.
To find out if you qualify for an ESA, you must speak with a mental health professional licensed in your state to be diagnosed with a mental or emotional disability. If they determine you qualify, you can adopt or purchase an animal to be your ESA, or certify an animal you already live with as your ESA.
As long as each animal is deemed necessary by your licensed health care professional, you can have any many ESAs as you need. However, the amount must be deemed “reasonable,” - for instance, you likely will be denied if you request to have 10 large dogs in a small apartment.
As long as you speak with a licensed mental health professional in your state, including through a telemedicine appointment, it is legal to obtain an ESA letter or certification online.
It is up to the airline itself if your ESA is allowed to fly with you in the cabin for free. However, most airlines view ESAs as simply pets and grant them no additional rights. Service animals must be allowed to fly in the cabin with you for free.
You are legally required to be able to have your ESA with you in your home, regardless of pet policies. Other public spaces can allow your ESA at their own discretion; they are not legally required to grant your ESA access.

While an ESA requires no specific training and helps their handler by their simple presence, a PSD must be trained to perform at least one task to help mitigate the symptoms of a mental or emotional disability.

Because a PSD is legally considered a service animal, they have more legal rights than an ESA. While both animals are legally required to be able to live with their handler in any housing, a PSD is also granted public access. This means they can accompany you in shops, at your workplace, and can even fly with you for free in the cabin of an airplane.
