Emotional Support Animal, also known as ESA, is a
companion animal for people who need therapeutic
healing. In general, cats and dogs often double
up as ESAs and offer required companionship and
love to the patient. However, it should be noted
that an individual must have confirmed and have a
unique disability to get an ESA. Unlike service
animals, emotional support animals dont need any
training to become an ESA, barring the basic
training for peaceful co-existence with humans.
Here are some of the facts worth knowing.
3
First things first, an emotional support animal
isnt a family pet, but it works as a companion
for people dealing with varied kinds of
emotional, mental and psychiatric issues. ESAs
can be often included in most communities, where
pets arent allowed or there are other issues. In
fact, not many know that denying accommodation to
a patient with ESA may result in an FHA
violation. For obtaining an emotional support
animal, one must have a prescription from a
doctor or healthcare professional, which will
state that the patient has been diagnosed with
some kind of mental health problem and requires
an ESA for therapeutic care and companionship.

When a person needs an ESA for any kind of
disability or psychiatric issues, they must first
seek permission from their landlord. It is best
to be as polite as possible in a written letter,
where the patient (or his family) can stress on
the need for the animal. Keep in mind that you
dont need to clearly mention the kind of
disability you have, but typically, a
prescription from a healthcare practitioner is
considered to be enough. It is also worthy to
understand that service dogs are not same as an
ESA and possess special skills. On the other
hand, ESAs are prescribed by a doctor, who knows
that the presence of the animal is essential for
the wellbeing of the patient.
5
Online ESA prescription letters are now a popular
choice for patients who want a companion animal.
Advanced services will ask you to fill a
questionnaire, and based on the facts, they will
assign a healthcare professional, who will
prescribe the ESA, if at all needed. For the
entire work, these services may charge a little
extra, which is worth paying for, given that you
will be benefited in many ways. Professional
companies may even offer a refund on the cost
when you do not qualify for the certificate.
However, do read the procedure and terms and
conditions in detail to understand whether an
animal is your ultimate choice for healing.
