Service animals are trained to perform specific tasks that eventually aid someone with a physical disability. They usually include dogs and mini horses. Contrary to this, an ESA provides their owner with benefits like companionship and affection, which are purely therapeutic in nature. An ESA on the other hand is not limited to dogs but can be any animal instead.

If your pet is providing you companionship and supporting you in any mental and emotional way, then yes they are considered to be an emotional support animal (ESA).

Of course! To enjoy the multiple benefits of an ESA, you need to provide a letter from a licensed mental health professional stating your medical condition and that your pet is providing you with the help and support that an ESA would.

The only proof you will need when looking for a new house with your ESA will be an ESA letter stating that your pet is providing you with emotional support and therapeutic value.

No. In early 2021 the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced new rules that no longer require airlines to recognize emotional support animals (ESAs). As of today, every major airline has banned emotional support animals, treating them as regular pets.

According to Law, a landlord has to make accommodation for you in a no-pet housing co-op if you have an ESA letter. But, if there is any damage or loss to property because of your ESA, the landlord will ask you to cover the same.
