* For California residents, effective January 1, 2022, new law AB 468 requires those seeking an ESA letter for dogs to establish a client-provider relationship with the individual for at least 30 days prior to providing documentation, which will result in having two consultations before qualifying.

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.

ESA Laws in Colorado

Colorado's laws and policies regarding assistance animals largely fall under those that are set at the federal level. In addition to these laws, Colorado imposes strict fines for anyone who falsely claims to have an assistance animal. 

Below, we'll cover specifics on Colorado's housing, travel, employment, and public access laws for emotional support animals. We provide all the information you need to understand the benefits, protections, and rights that come with having an emotional support animal in Colorado.

Colorado ESA Housing Laws

Pursuant to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), Colorado housing providers must make reasonable accommodations for tenants with emotional support animals or service animals who provide a valid ESA or PSD letter. This is the case even if a landlord has a "no pets" policy. 

This means that a landlord is also not allowed to impose any extra fees or weight or breed restrictions on your assistance animal. (Keep in mind, though, that they can refuse your support animal if they cause damage to the property or pose a direct threat to anyone on the premises).

Colorado Fair Housing & Employment Act

When it comes to bringing your emotional support animal to work, this decision is largely at the discretion of your employer. No law in Colorado requires a place of business to accommodate an employee's emotional support animal. 

However, provided you have a legitimate ESA letter and feel your support animal would benefit you in the workplace, try asking your company’s HR department. You might be surprised, as many businesses are empathetic and accommodating in this regard.

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!"
