Emotional Support Animals vs. Psychiatric Service Dogs: What’s the Difference?
Not sure whether you need an ESA or a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD)? Here's what you should know:
- ESAs provide emotional comfort and are protected under housing laws. They don’t require specialized training.
- PSDs are service animals trained to perform tasks that assist with psychiatric conditions. They are covered under the ADA & Texas law and can accompany you in public spaces like restaurants and airplanes.
- If you think a PSD may be a better fit, Pettable can guide you through the process.
Avoiding Common ESA Myths in Texas
There’s a lot of confusion around ESA letters. Let’s clear a few things up:
ESAs aren’t service animals – ESAs provide comfort but aren’t trained for specific tasks and don’t have public access rights like service dogs.
ESA registration is not legally recognized – Texas (and federal law) doesn’t recognize any ESA "registries" or ID cards. What matters is a valid letter from a licensed provider.
Not all online ESA services are scams – If the service pairs you with a real, state-licensed provider and follows legal steps—like Pettable—it’s legitimate.
How Do You Qualify For An ESA In Texas?
In order to qualify for an emotional support animal in Texas you need to connect with a mental health professional licensed in the state of Texas.
An easy way to find a clinician is to use a telehealth marketplace like Pettable. We focus an enormous amount of effort on interviewing and vetting licensed mental health professionals in Texas that have extensive experience with emotional & mental health evaluations as well as expertise and a passion for emotional support and service animals. What helps us stand out and guarantee the quality of our service is the team of clinicians we work with daily.
Mental Health Benefits of an ESA in Texas
They Provide A Healthy Routine - Pet lovers know how much responsibility a domesticated animal requires, and with all the care your ESA needs, you can establish a healthy routine that improves your emotional well-being. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, getting in some playtime with your rodent, or feeding your starving snake, an ESA guarantees that you have something to focus on other than mental health issues.
They Support your Mental Health - An ESA can support your mental health in so many ways, whether it’s through encouraging you to get out of bed, coaxing you to be more active, or promoting a healthier lifestyle. They also can give you the love and companionship that only your beloved assistance animal can provide.
Reduces feelings of anxiety and stress - Simply petting or cuddling with an ESA can lower cortisol levels and promote calmness.
Eases feelings of loneliness - ESAs offer unconditional companionship, which can reduce isolation and boost mood.
Interrupts negative thought patterns - Many people report that their ESA helps ground them during panic attacks or depressive episodes.
Increases opportunities for social interaction - Dog owners, in particular, often connect with others during walks or outings, supporting social health.
How to Get a Psychiatric Service Dog in Texas
If you need more assistance in public spaces, transit, or air travel, maybe a psychiatric service dog (PSD) is what you need. If that’s the case, Pettable can help you through the entire process. If you already have a canine companion, all you need to do is train it to perform specific tasks related to your mental health disability — and you can trust Pettable’s online PSD training program.
In Texas, ESAs and PSDs are very different beasts. A PSD is a dog of any breed that is trained to perform one or more tasks to directly aid your mental health disability. With that distinction, your PSD can accompany you in public accommodations such as grocery stores, shopping malls, medical facilities, and governmental buildings. On the other hand, an ESA is not considered a service animal since they simply provide companionship and emotional support, so they are only given protection in housing.
