Give Your Emotional Support Animal a Day Off

Emotional support animals are assistance animals assigned to people suffering from various emotional and mental disorders. They provide their owner with a sense of love, comfort, and companionship.

I suffered from post-traumatic-stress-disorder and my therapist recommended that I keep an ESA. I chose to get a golden retriever pup as my emotional support dog.

Most people often have confusion about ESA. If you need information on them, read the facts I have mentioned below.

You need a legal document

A Legal document referred to as an ESA Letter is necessary to qualify for an emotional support animal. This letter can be obtained from a licensed mental health professional. However in order to have an appropriate one issued you must know that what is your mental disorder and what kind of ESA letter can be issued to you. In order to have clarification, you must go through an emotional support animal letter sample.

You can’t just decide to get an ESA. Instead, you need to be examined by a psychiatrist who will then recommend whether or not you qualify for an ESA.

This was made necessary, so animal lovers don’t exploit the rights that come with an ESA.

You must carry your letter with you when your ESA is accompanying you to avoid any trouble. I got mine online from realesaletter.com; they made the entire process easy and hassle-free.

They require proper care from you An ESA is there to help provide support and comfort to its owner, but they require something in return too – your care.

It is an owner’s responsibility to take care of their ESA by taking them to the vet regularly, grooming and bathing them properly and reciprocating the love and affection received. If an owner requires an ESA within his personal premises, he must have an esa letter for housing.

These are some general facts that you must be aware of before getting an ESA.

However, if you already have a four-legged friend in your life remember that they do a lot for you and you should appreciate that.

The best way is to take them for a quick trip to the pet store – they deserve it. There are several supermarkets that allow pets.
