An emotional support animal helps individuals who are suffering from mental and/or emotional disabilities by providing support.
Once previously overlooked mental health conditions are more easily diagnosed as medical professionals learn more about mental health and in many cases, an ESA is a critical part of the coping process. While ESAs are not the same as service animals because they are not trained to perform a specific task, an ESA can be just as important to a person as a service animal. ESAs are responsible providing their owners with a comforting presence which can facilitate the performing of daily life's tasks. Just like service animals, ESAs have rights under state and federal laws.
At Pettable, we understand at a personal level the positive impact an animal can have on your life.

An emotional support animal is very similar to a psychiatric service animal in that they both help relieve symptoms of a mental or emotional disability. The process for qualifying for an ESA or PSA is exactly the same.
Where they differ is in the standard of training. A Psychiatric Service Animal has training standards that they are required to meet (no formal evaluation is necessary, but the ADA puts out general guidelines) whereas an emotional support animal does not need to meet any behavioral or training standards. A PSA needs to meet the following criteria:
1. Well Mannered In Public
This means they generally need to not bark, chase other dogs, jump on other people, and basically need to behave well when outside of your home.
2. Trained To Perform A Task That Alleviates A Symptom of Your Mental Health Disability
This can be any task as long as it helps impact your mental or emotional disability in some way.
For more information on Psychiatric Service Animals please read our blog article "What Is A Psychiatric Service Animal".
Anyone with a mental or emotional disability. Disability in this instance refers to anything that makes your life harder on average. This could include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Stress
- Personality Disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Phobias
And a host of other mental or emotional challenges you might encounter on a day to day basis. Pets have an incredible impact on mental health and well-being. As a result, there are a host of mental or emotional issues that can benefit from having a support animal.
