Getting an ESA letter while in Puerto Rico is simple when you work with Pettable. Simply answer a few short questions so that we can determine your needs and we will connect you with a licensed mental health practitioner on the Island.
ESA letters legitimize claims for ESAs and can support access to fair housing rights. They’re also useful if you want to advocate bringing your ESA to your place of work or study. While this will be at the discretion of the establishment, a legitimate letter can certainly help to advocate for your cause.

* 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.
ESAs can be any legal domestic species of animal. Popular animals include dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, guinea pigs, reptiles, and birds. In terms of law, ESAs have the same federal housing rights as ESAs in the United States.
While no specific ESA laws exist, ESAs are protected in terms of housing in Puerto Rico. Until 2021, ESAs were also protected under the Department of Transportation’s Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). However, these rights have since been removed as of 2021 and ESA travel on airlines is at the discretion of the airline. Oftentimes those traveling with ESAs will have to pay special pet travel fees.
Get Your ESA LetterThe Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) safeguards the rights of those with ESAs by protecting the right to fair housing access. Under this law, housing providers cannot discriminate against tenants with ESAs, even if the housing complex or apartment does not allow pet animals. While there are certain instances where housing providers can deny ESAs - for example if the animal is aggressive or too big for the establishment - they must make reasonable accommodations for them.
To qualify for an ESA, you must have a qualifying emotional or mental health disability. For example, depression, social anxiety, chronic stress, panic disorder, OCD, bipolar, or PTSD. You must then meet with a licensed mental health practitioner who is licensed in Puerto Rico. They will assess your ESA needs and once confirmed, write a letter in support of your ESA.
ESAs have so many therapeutic benefits and that’s why they’ve grown in popularity over the years. More and more people are recognizing how they can meaningfully assist those living with mental and emotional health disabilities. Let’s explore some of the ways in which they add value and benefit to people’s lives.
Animals provide stability and massive comfort to their humans. Many studies highlight how animals can significantly reduce stress hormones and boost happy ones. ESAs provide companionship and physical comfort and in doing so reduce the symptoms of many mental health disabilities.
ESAs can offer grounding and a great sense of safety when traveling on public transport. This can ease anxiety and fear and make traveling more viable.
ESAs provide incredible social support and companionship. This can ward off feelings of loneliness and isolation and make people feel connected.
