What Is An ESA Letter?

An ESA letter is a document that serves as proof of one’s need for an emotional support animal as a form of treatment for a qualifying mental health condition. ESA letters are written and assigned on an individual basis and allow the right to keep an emotional support animal in a residence under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) – regardless of landlord rules/housing policies.

A legitimate ESA letter also serves as a legal exemption from pet rent or pet deposits. An ESA letter must be provided by a licensed mental health practitioner to be considered legitimate, and must include the patient’s name, date of birth, and confirmation of the patient’s qualifying mental health disorder. Don’t worry, your actual diagnoses won’t be shared!

An ESA letter does not provide protections for traveling with a pet or assistance animal. To travel with your animal worry-free, they must be a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD).

Do I Also Need an ESA Certification?

No! Your ESA letter serves as an ESA certification or as proof of your need for an emotional support animal whenever necessary. Additionally, no official, legal or governmental emotional support animal registration method exists. 

What Is An Emotional Support Animal?

An emotional support animal (ESA) helps individuals who are suffering from mental and/or emotional disabilities by providing support. While ESAs are not the same as service animals because they are not trained to perform a specific task, an ESA can be just as important to a person’s well-being and play a critical role in coping with several mental and emotional disorders. ESAs are responsible for providing their owners with a comforting presence to allow for easier facilitation and performance of daily life tasks. Like service animals, ESAs have rights under state and federal laws.

What our pet parents are saying

Verified customers. Real reviews.

Maddee W. Dog parent

“The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey.

I had an incredible experience with Pettable. I had just moved and was looking for a new therapist, but knew an ESA would really help me with the transition, so I came to Pettable to get documentation so I didn’t have to wait months to get approval from my landlord to bring a pet home. The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey. Now I am raising a puppy and never been happier and healthier! I can’t recommend Pettable enough!
