I am in California so the law here is a little different with a 30 day period and 2 therapy sessions but it was extremely worth it

"I would give my experience 10000/5 stars! I have already recommended your company to another friend. It was a straightforward no gimmicks service, and the doctor was genuinely concerned.

My new rescue cat Marston really appreciates that he is able to live with me now!

"They are five stars all the way! The site helped set me up with a professional therapist, who is licensed in my state. It was very easy to setup calls or opportunities to communicate with them that worked for both of us.

Most of all they allowed me to keep my cats Mew and Espurr. “

We have been nothing but blessed by Pettable. Cami, our counselor/ therapist, has supported us from the beginning with incredible sensitivity, compassion, and wise counsel. She remembers details and connects resources for us in incredible ways. Words cannot express our thankfulness!

Pettable was an amazing experience from start to finish. Navigating all the options out there was overwhelming, but Pettable stood out with great reviews—and now I see why. Ro ** was an absolute pleasure to work with: professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating with my schedule changes. I truly appreciate the support and smooth process throughout.

We have enjoyed the services that our Pettable certificate offers. We are both very attached to our dog and enjoy the freedom of being able to take her with us. We took her with us on vacation last summer and there was no opposition involved. Your staff is extremely informative, friendly, and easy to work with.

This was a super easy process with quick results. I was faced with a deadline before I moved into my temporary apartment and this process of having my pet become an official ESA was done the next day after the application. The therapist I spoke with was kind and knowledgeable.

I was looking for a service to be able to get my pet registered as emotional support animal and Pettable was recommended by a friend. I got the standard letter where I talk to a counselor and got the letter drafted up. I like the service. It's excellent.

I found the content and presentation to be well-structured and clear. I appreciated the video presentations for clarity in techniques. The training followed a logical sequence and increased in difficulty. The support materials/links were also helpful. More FAQ's or opportunity to ask training related questions could only enhance the experience.

Why choose an ESA in South Carolina?

South Carolina law supports the use of Emotional Support Animals for individuals with mental or emotional disablities. With a valid ESA letter you can.

  • Live in housing with “no pets” policies without additional fees.
  • Have your ESA recognized as part of your mental health treatment.
  • Benefit from protections under the Fair Housing Act.

How to Get an ESA Letter in South Carolina Online

If you’re a South Carolina resident who is eligible for an emotional support animal (ESA) letter, you've come to the right place. Thanks to modern technology, the approval process for emotional support animals has never been easier. To get started, choose a telehealth platform like Pettable that can connect you with a mental health professional licensed in your state. If this therapist determines that you meet the criteria to be an ESA owner, they will write you an official emotional support animal letter that you can use for housing and other purposes. 

ESA Laws in South Carolina

In South Carolina, there are strict laws regarding assistance animals that all ESA owners should know about. Misrepresenting an assistance animal (i.e., an emotional support animal or a service animal) is prohibited and is punishable by a fine of $350 - $1,000 for a first offense. The fine increases for subsequent offenses. 

This is one reason why ESA owners in South Carolina should be aware of their rights. As in the rest of the United States, service animals are allowed in nearly all public places in South Carolina, but emotional support animals are not. If you'd like to take your ESA with you to an establishment (or workplace) that is not explicitly pet-friendly, you will need to ask the owner or manager for permission. In the case of your workplace, you’ll need to ask your boss. Providing them with your ESA letter will help legitimize your request, though whether they admit your ESA or not is entirely at their discretion.

The same rules apply to commercial aircraft, following the Air Carrier Access Act. If you’d like to fly with your emotional support animal, you should contact the airline as soon as possible to submit your request. The airline representative may make an exception for your ESA, although they are under no obligation to do so. If your request is denied, you may still be able to fly with your ESA, as long as they travel as an ordinary pet and you agree to pay the usual pet fees. 

On a more encouraging note, thanks to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), ESA owners have additional rights when it comes to housing arrangements. Provided you have a valid ESA letter, your housing provider must make reasonable accommodations for your emotional support animal to live with you. This includes rental properties that typically have “no pets” policies. Additionally, landlords are not allowed to impose pet fees or breed or weight restrictions on emotional support animals.

Emotional Support Animals in South Carolina

Emotional support animals have helped countless individuals cope with mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety. If you already own an emotional support animal or are considering getting one, the good news is that both South Carolina law and federal law are supportive of your right to live anywhere with your emotional support animal – even in a “no pets” rental property.

How Do You Qualify for an ESA in South Carolina?

If you're hoping to obtain official status for your emotional support animal through an ESA letter, you first need to find out whether you meet the criteria. Only a licensed mental health professional has the authority to assess your eligibility. This practitioner will evaluate your symptoms and determine whether you have a disability-related need for an emotional support animal. If so, they will issue you an official ESA letter.
