ByWhat To Say To Register For An Emotional Support Animal
Although service animals must be accommodated in all places, rules aren't as legally enforced with emotional support animals. With that being said, a landlord has no choice but to accept ESA dogs and other pets, according to the Fair Housing Act. This remains true for rentals that are adamant about no pets being allowed on the premises.
In this article, we'll cover everything from ESA letters (including ESA letters for housing) to and what DoNotPay can do to help.
DoNotPay can even help you weed out which airlines accept emotional support animals (for example American Airlines, Southwest, United Airlines, and others.).
What to Say to Register for an Emotional Support Animal
To qualify for an emotional support animal, you will need to discuss your mental health issues with a medical professional. This means all you have to say is what you're going through mentally that makes you feel like an ESA can make a difference in your quality of life.
According to Pettable, there are a number of mental health conditions that are eligible for an ESA.
Give your mental health doctor a call or make a trip to their office to discuss what condition you're living with and how an emotional support animal can help alleviate the symptoms of your condition.
How to Register for an Emotional Support Animal by Yourself
You don't need to register your pet as an emotional support animal. All you need to do is prove that you have a condition that requires an ESA to improve symptoms and quality of life.
How to request your ESA:
- Have a complete understanding of the mental health issue you're dealing with.
- Know the benefits an ESA can provide you.
- Find a medical professional (therapist, doctor, etc.) to discuss ESA qualifications with.
- Set up an appointment.
- Discuss your mental health.
- The medical professional will determine if they think you need an ESA.
- Get an ESA letter for your landlord, or search airlines/companies that allow ESAs to be with you.
