How To Give Your Emotional Support Animal a Day Off?
Emotional support animals are assistance animals assigned to people suffering from various emotional and mental disorders. They provide their owner with a sense of love, comfort, and companionship.
I suffered from post-traumatic-stress-disorder and my therapist recommended that I keep an ESA. I chose to get a golden retriever pup as my emotional support dog.
Most people often have confusion about ESA. If you need information on them, read the facts I have mentioned below.
- You need a legal document
A Legal document referred to as an emotional support animal letter is necessary to qualify for an emotional support animal. This letter can be obtained from a licensed mental health professional.
You can’t just decide to get an ESA. Instead, you need to be examined by a psychiatrist who will then recommend whether or not you qualify for an ESA.
This was made necessary, so animal lovers don’t exploit the rights that come with an ESA.
You must carry your letter with you when your ESA is accompanying you to avoid any trouble. I got mine online from realesaletter.com; they made the entire process easy and hassle-free.
- You can choose from a wide variety of animals
ESA owner’s aren’t restricted to just dogs or cats – there are several different animals you can choose from as long as they are not wild and don’t pose a threat to you and the people surrounding you. In order to choose the correct type of ESA for yoursefl you must read our an online esa letter sample to get one issued.
However, when adopting a dog to be your ESA make sure that it isn’t of an aggressive breed.
- They require proper care from you
An ESA is there to help provide support and comfort to its owner, but they require something in return too – your care.
It is an owner’s responsibility to take care of their ESA by taking them to the vet regularly, grooming and bathing them properly and reciprocating the love and affection received.
These are some general facts that you must be aware of before getting an ESA.
However, if you already have a four-legged friend in your life remember that they do a lot for you and you should appreciate that.
The best way is to take them for a quick trip to the pet store – they deserve it. There are several supermarkets that allow pets.
You can also pamper them by booking a spa session, where professionals will take care of your dog’s style and grooming.
I treat my pup with a spa and shopping session every other weekend, and the look on his face is priceless.
