An ESA Letter Will Legally Protect You and Your Pet Under the Fair Housing Act
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is an individual’s pet that has been approved and prescribed by a Licensed Therapist to provide therapeutic benefits, such as alleviation from anxiety, depression, or any other mental health challenge an individual may struggle with. The animal does not require any specialized training. Their purpose is to provide comfort and support to a person dealing with a diagnosed emotional, mental, or psychological challenge.
An official ESA Letter from one of our Licensed Therapists grants your pet special housing rights. The only proof of authenticity your pet needs is your official ESA Letter signed by a Licensed Healthcare Provider. This letter establishes your mental health disability and confirms legitimate need for the support your pet provides. It’s important to note that animal registration, licensing, wearing a vest, or possessing an ID card are not necessary to legally certify your pet. Once you have your official ESA Letter, you’re legally protected!

“I sincerely want to thank my therapist at Official Pets. I was in a very bad situation when my complex recently decided that pets are no longer allowed. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. My friend told me about ESA letters and recommended Official Pets. My Official Pets therapist wrote me a very detailed letter explaining my mental health condition and why it is crucial for me to have Winston and Charlie living with me as a reasonable accommodation. My therapist treated my case with a sense of urgency and delivered the letter within an hour. I am now in compliance with my complex and have both Winston and Charlie with me as my official Emotional Support Animals.”
