Arizona is understanding and supportive of those with mental and emotional disabilities. Because of this, the state has laws and policies that strive to respect the need for emotional support animals as part of mental health treatment plans. (In fact, Arizona tends to be quite pet-friendly in offering facilities and activities that welcome animals.)
To qualify for an emotional support animal in Arizona, you must be diagnosed with an emotional or mental disability by a licensed mental health professional.
Arizona respects a person's emotional support animal as being an important part of their treatment plan. The state follows the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), which allows a person with an ESA or service animal to keep their animal with them in their place of residence, regardless of the landlord's policies or restrictions on pets.
This means that—provided you can produce an ESA letter as verification—a landlord must make reasonable accommodation for your support animal to live with you and cannot charge any extra fees to an ESA owner or impose any weight or breed restrictions. The only exception to this is if your assistance animal poses a direct threat or causes significant damage to the property or housing unit.

No law exists specifying that employers must accommodate an emotional support animal in a work environment. However, they are also not to discriminate against employees based on disability, therefore some employers will welcome an ESA, as they may recognize the benefits of having one for a person's mental health.
If you're unsure if you can bring your ESA to work, bring your ESA letter and talk with your HR department to find out if they are willing to make reasonable accommodation for your ESA in Arizona. Ultimately, this decision is at the discretion of your employer.
Arizona follows the federal travel laws put in place by the Department of Transportation (DOT). As of March 2021, the Air Carrier Access Act regulations changed so that airlines are no longer required to accept emotional support animals in the cabin free of charge. It is now at the discretion of an individual airline to determine whether or not they will accept an emotional support animal.
If you want to travel with your ESA, it's best to contact your airline ahead of time to find out if they will be accommodating. If not, you may be able to bring your animal as a regular pet, following all the airline's pet policies, such as fees and placement of the animal during flight.
In Arizona, emotional support animals are also not protected for public transportation. Only service animals are required to be allowed on any public transportation or flight.
To find out if you qualify for an emotional support animal in Arizona, you must meet with a licensed mental health professional. They can evaluate your mental and emotional challenges and evaluate your eligibility.
One of the easiest ways you can do this is by working through a telehealth marketplace like Pettable. We can match you with a vetted professional licensed in your state who has extensive experience conducting mental health assessments for assistance animals and writing ESA letters.
