Benefits of Having an ESA Letter

No pet fees or deposits

Landlords are required to waive them for approved ESAs.

Emotional relief

Support for anxiety, loneliness, and daily stress.

Fast approval

Most letters are delivered within 24 hours.

Live in no-pet housing

Your ESA is protected under federal housing law.

Protected rights

Backed by the Fair Housing Act.

To fly with your dog in the cabin, you’ll need a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) — which requires:

A qualifying mental health condition
A dog trained to perform specific tasks to assist with that condition

As of 2021, U.S. airlines are no longer required to accept Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) for air travel. ESAs are now treated as pets and may be denied cabin access or subject to extra fees.

What Is a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD)?

A Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) is trained to assist with a mental health condition by performing specific tasks — like interrupting panic attacks, grounding during anxiety, or reminding you to take medication.

What Makes PSDs Different?

Training is required

Your dog must be task-trained to meet public access standards. (You can train the dog yourself or with a professional.)

Stronger legal protection

PSDs are covered under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). That means you can fly with your dog and bring them into places pets normally aren’t allowed.

Dogs only

Only dogs can qualify as Psychiatric Service Dogs under current law.

If you’re dealing with anxiety, PTSD, depression, or a similar condition, you may qualify for a PSD letter.

Can You Still Fly With Your Pet?

As of 2021, airlines no longer accept Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) for air travel. ESAs are now treated as regular pets and may face restrictions or extra fees.

The good news: ESAs are still protected for housing under the Fair Housing Act, so you can live with your pet without pet rent or breed restrictions if approved.

To fly with your dog in the cabin, you’ll need a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) — a dog trained to perform tasks that support your mental health.

I’m not sure, show me the differences

What's the Difference Between an ESA and a PSD?

Emotional Support Animal (ESA)s:

Does not require training because ESAs are not allowed public access (stores, restaurants, etc.), but they must not be disruptive, aggressive, or cause property damage.
Protected under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) — may allow you to live with your pet without pet rent, fees, or breed restrictions.
Not allowed for air travel under current U.S. law.

Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD):

Must be individually trained to perform tasks that help with a diagnosed mental health condition (like interrupting panic attacks or reminding to take medication).
Must be a dog.
Protected under the ADA and ACAA — allowed in public places and can fly in the cabin with you for free.

Major California ESA Laws You Should Know

California’s ESA laws combine federal protections, such as the Fair Housing Act (FHA), with state-specific legislation like AB 468 and FEHA to create a robust legal framework. These laws ensure ESA owners have fair housing access and require valid documentation from licensed mental health professionals. California’s laws also prioritize accountability to curb misuse of ESA privileges.

Assembly Bill 468 (AB 468)

Requires ESA letters to be issued only after a licensed mental health professional establishes a legitimate relationship with the client for at least 30 days. Misrepresentation of ESAs is strictly prohibited.

California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)

Ensures landlords accommodate ESAs in housing, even in no-pet policies, as long as valid documentation is provided.

Fair Housing Act (FHA)

Protects ESA owners from housing discrimination and prohibits additional pet fees or deposits.

Limits on Public Access

ESAs are not granted public access rights under the ADA, restricting their entry to public spaces like stores and restaurants.

Let’s discover more about these laws in detail.

False ESA Companies

They offer “registration in a database” for your emotional support animal. (There is no such registration requirement or database.)
They sell “certification of your pet” as an emotional support animal. (There is no such certification and no such thing as a “national support animal registry”.)
They promise “instant approval”. Proper evaluation of your application requires 24 hours or more by a licensed professional.
Their ESA documents are not signed by a licensed mental health professional. A valid ESA letter bears professional letterhead, Government issued license number, and an authentic signature.
They offer no further support services like specific airline authorization documents or individual landlord letters.

All services are guaranteed 100% to meet or exceed State and Federal requirements.

Your ESA Letter will be legally enforceable and will allow you to:

Negotiate a rental agreement without concern for the imposition of additional pet fees or "pet security" deposits.
Avoid discrimination in hotel and housing accommodations posting "no pet" policies.
Travel freely with your pet on airlines, trains, buses, cruise ships.
Avoid additional airport fees.

Current laws prohibiting the use of false ESA documents or the misrepresentation of your pet as a support or assistance animal carry stiff penalties that include:
