Emotional Support Animals in Colorado

If you struggle with an emotional or mental disability, you may qualify for an emotional support animal in Colorado. 

The state of Colorado acknowledges the challenges that come with emotional and mental disabilities and recognizes that having an emotional support animal can be important to a person’s mental health treatment plan. 

Because of this, Colorado has laws and policies in place to help protect you and your ESA.

Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Laws in Colorado

In Colorado, citizens are bound by both federal and state laws regarding assistance animals of all kinds, including emotional support animals (ESAs). Like the other 49 United States, ESAs and their owners are protected from housing discrimination by the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This law prohibits housing providers and landlords from discriminating against disabled individuals, whether they have a physical or psychiatric disorder. It guarantees that ESAs are allowed to live in rental housing, overriding any no-pet rules and exempting them from extra fees or increased rents.

However, Colorado also has its own law, enacted in 2016, that prohibits intentionally misrepresenting the entitlement to an ESA or service dog. It also forbids medical professionals from writing an ESA letter or other service animal documentation for anyone without sufficient evidence determining a patient’s disability. These rules are meant to deter individuals from passing a pet off as an ESA without an ESA letter and to discourage organizations from trying to sell fraudulent ESA documents. 

While other federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) protect service dogs across the nation, they don’t offer any concrete protections to emotional support animals.

Emotional Support Animal Certification in Colorado

As you search for information on emotional support animals, you might stumble upon organizations selling ESA certification in Colorado. However, the only document you need to have your own assistance animal in your home is an ESA letter. If a company tries to sell you on any other type of certificate, it is not legit and will not protect your housing rights. A legitimate ESA letter is all you need to keep your ESA in your rental home or apartment.

Colorado's ESA Travel Laws

As of March 2021, the updated Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) no longer requires airlines to accept emotional support animals—only service animals. This means each airline can now make the decision as to whether or not your emotional support animal will be accommodated on the flight. If not, you may be able to bring your ESA on the flight as a regular pet—submitting to any extra fees and policies the airline has in place for traveling with pets. 

It's best to contact your airline ahead of time to learn their policy about flying with ESAs. 

Though service animals are required to be accepted on other public transportation throughout Colorado, emotional support animals do not have this same protection.

ESA Registration in Colorado is Not Required

Companies and organizations across the country peddle unnecessary products to people trying to make their beloved pets into emotional support animals, and one of the most common is ESA registration. However, none of the federal or Colorado-enacted laws about assistance animals require registration with any database or organization. Simply put, ESA registration is not required in Colorado, so if you come across this service or product, it will not protect your assistance animal housing rights.

Who Qualifies for an ESA in Colorado?

ESAs make great additions to therapy plans for individuals with a wide array of psychiatric and emotional challenges. To qualify for an ESA in the great state of Colorado, you must be living with a legitimate mental health or emotional disorder that is benefitted by the companionship of an assistance animal. Qualifying conditions include:

  • Mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder
  • Learning disabilities
  • Substance use disorders
  • Cognitive disorders
  • Motor skill disorders
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

Benefits of an Emotional Support Animal for Colorado Residents

Avoid Additional Housing Costs

The primary advantage of securing an ESA letter for your support animal in Colorado is the legal protection it affords you and your animal in nearly all residential scenarios. This includes waiving any extra rent, deposits, or pet-related fees, and it permits you to live in buildings with a strict no-pets policy, as long as the animal does not pose a danger to the property or other residents.

Encourage A Healthy Lifestyle

Owning an ESA naturally entails responsibilities that encourage a structured and active daily life. Engaging in activities like playing with your cat, walking your dog, or feeding your ferret can foster regular physical activity and distract from daily stressors.

Support Mental and Emotional Well-being

The companionship of an ESA can significantly enhance mental and emotional well-being. An ESA can help alleviate feelings of isolation, offer essential companionship, and bolster your sense of self-esteem and confidence.

How to Get a Psychiatric Service Dog in Colorado

If you think you need enhanced assistance for your mental health disorder, you can opt for a psychiatric service dog (PSD), which is essentially an ESA with more responsibilities and rights. To get your own PSD in Colorado, all you need to do is train your canine companion to perform one or more tasks that directly assist your disorder. These tasks include fetching medication, performing deep pressure therapy (ESA), and intervening in emergencies. With the Pettable PSD training program, we can guide you through the process using online lessons, so you can teach your PSD from the comfort of your home.

Verified customers. Real reviews.

I had an incredible experience with Pettable. I had just moved and was looking for a new therapist, but knew an ESA would really help me with the transition, so I came to Pettable to get documentation so I didn’t have to wait months to get approval from my landlord to bring a pet home. The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey. Now I am raising a puppy and never been happier and healthier! I can’t recommend Pettable enough!

My pup provides relief in stressful situations, particularly when I'm away on necessary travel. Pettable was an amazing resource, connecting me with a therapist who listened to my situation and provided advice above and beyond. I could hear Rhiana's compassion over our call and appreciated her patience. Grateful for this service!"
