What Is an Emotional Support Animal?
An Emotional Support Animal is more than just a pet—it’s a trusted companion that helps ease the symptoms of emotional or psychological conditions. ESAs provide unconditional love, calm anxiety, reduce feelings of loneliness, and can bring a sense of routine and safety to your daily life. While they don’t require specialized training like service animals, ESAs are recognized under federal law for their therapeutic benefits and are protected under certain housing and travel regulations.
