Emotional Support Animals (ESA) provide comfort and support in forms of affection and companionship for an individual suffering from various mental and emotional conditions. An Emotional Support Animal is not required to perform any specific tasks for a disability like Service Dogs. ESA's are protected under the Air Carriers Access Act which allows a correctly behaving dog to fly in the cabin with its handler without being charged a pet fee. Some airlines will require an ESA letter or prescription from the handler’s doctor. This certificate is a supplemental form of identification and confirmation of the dog’s status as a working animal.
ESA’s are also protected under Federal Law by the Fair Housing Act, allowing a person with a disability to keep an ESA dog in most types of housing which have a “No Pets Policy.” A verbal or written request, along with a copy of a letter or prescription from the handler’s doctor, may need to be sent to the landlord. If a qualified applicant is refused their request, a complaint can be filed with the U. S. Department of Justice, through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This certificate, when used in conjunction with a letter from your Doctor, will help identify your pet as an ESA. The certificate also clearly states your rights. The certificate size is 8.5 inches by 11 inches and comes with a one (1) Leather Presentation Folder, one (1) original full-color certificates and one (1) Handler/Dog Information ID Card with the certificate covered with Acid and lignin Free Crystal Clear Polypropylene.
