For many, emotional distress and mental health struggles are everyday challenges that require unique therapies and treatments — including emotional support animals (ESAs). More than a mere household pet, an ESA brings love and affection into its owner’s life, giving them the motivation to fight through their struggles. If you have a mental disorder or live with emotional challenges, then getting an ESA might be a life-changing decision. After all, animal lovers know how much joy pets of all species can provide, so bringing an ESA into your home might significantly improve your mental health symptoms. Best of all, it’s never been easier to get an ESA letter in Delaware online.
If you’re a Delaware resident who thinks an ESA can improve your life, then you’re in luck. Although they don’t have the same protections as service animals, there is still a federal law that ensures Delawareans — and Americans across the country — can bring their ESAs into their homes. So even if your ESA isn’t quite at service dog status, you can still guarantee that your pet provides you with the love, affection, and companionship you need at home.
In the state of Delaware, no state-specific laws or regulations protect emotional support animals, but there is still one federal statute that lets your ESA live in your home — no matter who owns it. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) protects individuals who need assistance animals of all kinds, whether it’s a working dog or a simple support critter. Otherwise, ESAs are not protected in Delaware, they are merely considered pets, so they aren’t permitted to accompany their owners in public accommodations. Also, the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), which lets service animals fly with their owners, doesn’t cover ESAs, so they aren’t typically given any special treatment during air travel.
Get Your ESA LetterWhile there are no housing-related Delaware laws protecting ESAs, the FHA guarantees the right for you to have a support animal as a roommate — even if they can’t afford rent. The law prohibits discrimination against disabled individuals when it comes to securing and retaining residency in rental properties, such as apartments, condominiums, and single-family rental houses. That means if you have an official ESA letter, your landlord can’t deny you housing or charge you pet fees.
To qualify for an ESA in Delaware, you need to be professionally diagnosed with a mental health disorder or emotional condition that can be helped by the companionship of a support animal. Any condition can qualify, the only way to confirm qualification is by speaking with a mental health professional. A few potential qualifying conditions include:
One of the biggest benefits of an emotional support animal is the mental and emotional stability it can provide. Because they rely on their owner to survive, an ESA requires a responsible partner who can take care of their needs, including feeding and exercise. Routines are a great way to fight mental health challenges, and since most pets need an active owner, they can guarantee that you get off the couch and get some fresh air once in a while.
Many individuals living with mental health challenges have a hard time getting around, and for some, public transport is their only way to get food and other necessities. However public buses and trains can easily trigger negative mental or emotional responses or induce severe anxiety. Although they aren’t always allowed on public transit, an ESA letter can show a bus driver or transit authority that your animal will make your travel easier, giving you a good chance to get a pass.
Often, individuals with emotional distress or mental health struggles have difficulty interacting with others, especially in social situations, but with the support of an ESA, many can thrive around others. Whether it’s a canine companion, a furry ferret, or a scaley snake, an ESA can take your social life to the next level.
If you have a mental health disability that requires even more support, a psychiatric service dog (PSD) can improve your life even more than an ESA. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ACA) offers even more protections to PSDs, including accompaniment in public places. To upgrade from an ESA to a PSD, all you need is a diagnosis and a trained service dog — and Pettable can provide you with both.
Our acclaimed online PSD training program guides you through the process of teaching your dog to perform specific tasks related to your disability — at your own pace. That means that you and your best friend can complete the program from the comfort of your Delaware home.
