There is a fine line when it comes to using the termnology of emotional support animal (ESA) as some laws will cover these animals as well as Service Animals, (ie Fair House Act {FHA} and the Air Carrier Access Act {ACAA}).

People with an emotional support animal must provide documentations by a doctor confirming a mental health diagnosis along with additional documentation stating the necessity of having the need for a emotional support animal.
( FHA ~ 24 CFR part 32-3; ACAA ~ 14 CFR Part 382)

People with service animals, however, have the legal right to go in all areas opened to the general public without the need of such documentations including housing and traveling. (ADA ~ Title III 4.1300)

Some people think that Emotional SUPPORT Animals are actually Psychiatric SERVICE Animals....they are NOT!
