Certify your Emotional Support Animal - Fast ESA Letter
About Emotional Support Animals
Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, insomnia, psychological trauma or stress? An emotional support animal, or Emotional Support Animal, can help relieve these conditions in addition to providing myriad physical health benefits.
Are you struggling to find pet-friendly housing? Or do you want to get a pet, but they're not allowed where you live? You can legally bypass this restriction by designating your pet as an Emotional Support Animal, whether he walks with four paws, slithers on his stomach or sleeps upside down.
An animal's presence alone provides therapy by reducing stress, anxiety, tension, loneliness, depression while increasing the release of the feel-good hormones such as dopamine and endorphins. Studies have shown animals lower cholesterol, blood pressure and risks for cardiovascular disease.
It's your right to have an Emotional Support Animal of any species live with you in rental housing or accompany you on public transportation such as airline flights. All you need is to show your landlord or the airline a doctor's letter stating the animal is necessary for your emotional well-being.
Unlike service dogs, ESAs do not need certifications or any specialized training because they do not perform specific tasks. Only dogs and miniature horses can work as service animals, whereas ESAs can be of any species.

What's more, the landlord or building manager has to waive any extra fees or deposit requirements.
