ESA Laws In Delaware
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 ā no matter who owns it. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) protects individuals who need assistance animals of all kinds, whether itās a working dog or a simple support critter. Otherwise, ESAs are not protected in Delaware, they are merely considered pets, so they arenāt permitted to accompany their owners in public accommodations. Also, the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), which lets service animals fly with their owners, doesnāt cover ESAs, so they arenāt typically given any special treatment during air travel.

Emotional Support Animals in Delaware
For many, emotional distress and mental health struggles are everyday challenges that require unique therapies and treatments ā including emotional support animals (ESAs). More than a mere household pet, an ESA brings love and affection into its ownerās 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, itās never been easier to get an ESA letter in Delaware online.
If youāre a Delaware resident who thinks an ESA can improve your life, then youāre in luck. Although they donāt have the same protections as service animals, there is still a federal law that ensures Delawareans ā and Americans across the country ā can bring their ESAs into their homes. So even if your ESA isnāt quite at service dog status, you can still guarantee that your pet provides you with the love, affection, and companionship you need at home.
āHow Do You Qualify For An ESA In Delaware?
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:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar disorder

Benefits of Emotional Support Animals for Delaware Residents:
Provide Mental and Emotional Stability
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.
Save On Costly Pet Housing Fees
Having an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) can significantly reduce housing costs by enabling individuals to avoid pet fees in rental properties since landlords are generally not allowed to charge pet fees for ESAs under laws protecting individuals with disabilities. Additionally, securing an ESA designation for a pet can provide access to housing options that may otherwise restrict animals, potentially widening choices to more affordable locations.
Provide Social Support
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 itās a canine companion, a furry ferret, or a scaley snake, an ESA can take your social life to the next level.
How To Get a Psychiatric Service Dog in Delaware
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 ā and Pettable can provide you with both.Ā
Our acclaimed online PSD training program guides you through the process of teaching your dog to perform specific tasks related to your disability ā at your own pace. That means that you and your best friend can complete the program from the comfort of your Delaware home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Emotional Support Animal Overview
An emotional support animal provides comfort to help relieve a symptom or effect related to a person's disability. Also, there is no animal or breed restrictions for ESA's as long as it is reasonable and justified.
Note that being an emotional support animal is not the same as being a service animal (like seeing-eye dogs). These types of animals have stricter criteria that must be met, including different forms of training such as obedience, public access and disability training. These additional trainings are necessary since service dogs have public access and travel rights, unlike emotional support animals who are only protected under housing rights.
ESA's do not have public access or travel rights, so it's best to check with individual business guidelines to see if they allow ESA's. Additionally, you can train your dog to become a PSD (psychiatric service dog) in order to have public access and travel rights.
The general criteria is to have some emotional or psychological condition that is improved by having an animal that provides support. Conditions may include depression, generalized anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, and others. And remember, Emotional Support Animals do not require special training!
Only a licensed mental health professional is qualified to determine if you meet the criteria. Through our service, you can speak directly with a qualified mental health professional in the state where you reside. Pettable connects you with a licensed mental health professional for a consultation to determine if you qualify for an ESA. Unlike, some less legitimate services, we do not provide letters for fee, but instead we connect you to a professional for an honest evaluation.
Step 1: Once payment is submitted and your appointment is scheduled through our website, you will receive an email to activate your account.
Step 2: Once your account is activated, the process will prompt you to fill out the required forms to give more information to your clinician before your scheduled appointment.
ā
Step 3: Your assigned clinician will call you at your scheduled appointment time and will let you know if you have qualified. If you've qualified, your clinician will upload your letter in your portal for you to view and print.

Absolutely! There is research and data that support the theory that animals provide substantial and measurable emotional support. If you're thinking about the benefits of an emotional support animal, you can learn more by researching online or talking to qualified mental health professionals in our network.
Our ESAĀ letters contain the following:
- The official letterhead of the mental health professional.
- Their business, contact information, and signature.
- Their license information which allows anyone to check the status of their license.
- Their confirmation that you meet the definition of a disability and recommendation for an emotional support animal.
The Fair Housing Act requires housing providers such as landlords or management companies to allow the possession of animals that work, provide assistance for, or perform tasks that benefit individuals with qualified medical disabilities āĀ or that provide emotional support to individuals to reduce a symptom or effect of a disability.
The Fair Housing Act also requires individuals, who wish to possess a service or support animal, to follow specific criteria relevant to the type of support needed.
For an emotional support animal, the individual has to speak with a licensed mental health professional in the state they reside and receive a prescription of an ESAĀ Letter in order to qualify.
Although the Fair Housing Act and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development does not specify guidance around the issue of ESA letter expiration, we recommend that you renew your ESA letter annually for a few reasons:
- Landlords or property managers may refuse to accept an ESA letter that is expired. Renewing your letter enables you to provide current documentation that verifies your need for an emotional support animal as still relevant.
- Clinicians may not validate an ESA letter that is expired in the event a landlord or property manager reaches out to verify. An annual consultation with a clinician to discuss your needs for an ESA letter is advised in order to keep licensed professional recommendations current.
Renewing your letter is easy through our seamless consultation process.
Federal and state laws require a live consultation over the phone, video, or in person to properly vet and qualify an individual to warrant an ESAĀ Letter.
To ensure our ESA letter are compliant, all of our consultations are conducted live over the phone in order to meet the legal standards set forth and assure the validity of your letter.
Yes. Federal and state laws require a live consultation over the phone, video, or in person to properly vet and qualify an individual to warrant an ESAĀ Letter. Since the letter grants privileges about keeping a pet in a place that otherwise would not allow it, base guidelines must be met to qualify.
Yes. An emotional support animal can be any breed or species as long as it supports an emotional or psychological condition.
Since emotional support animals do not require any training, your childhood pet or newly adopted animal can qualify.
Yes, you can register multiple pets on the same ESAĀ letter. At Pettable we can accommodate up to two pets per letter for no additional charge.
According to the American Disabilities Act your request for multiple animals must be "reasonable".
An example of an unreasonable request is if you want four great danes registered as ESAs and you live in a tiny apartment.
In order to make sure we're meeting the standard of "reasonable" Pettable is able to accommodate up to two pets per letter as long as you meet the criteria to warrant an ESA letter.
At the end of the day it is a judgement call but we want to make sure that you are covered in any situation you're in, which is why we've set this policy.
Once you have a proper ESA Letter, your landlord is required by the Fair Housing Act to allow you to keep your designated emotional support animal with you at your place of residence.
Sometimes landlords create barriers for individuals in attempt to refrain from accommodating legitimate ESA's. If this occurs please reach out to your assigned mental health professional to validate or assist in verifying your legitimate ESA letter.
The most common type of fraud we've seen are in particular sites that claim to certify service animals (different from emotional support animals) without requiring any formal testing or accreditation typical for that process. The US has cracked down on these forms of fraud. Now they will enact hefty fines ā or even jail time ā for caught offenders.
These are the clues you should be on the lookout for to spot a scam: The service does NOT require you to speak with someone live over the phone ā All legitimate ESA Letter providers are required by law to ensure that you speak with a licensed mental health professional over the phone or video. If a service asks you to answer questions using a quiz or "exam" but doesn't ask you to schedule a live consultation afterwards, it is probably a scam. Pettable is not a purchase-diagnosis website, but instead refers you to a licensed professional who conducts a live evaluation and provides a legitimate ESA letter per their professional discretion.
