Elements of A Legal ESA Letter

 

Psychiatrists and mental health practitioners usually recommend supporting animals to people with strange psychological conditioning. These are specially trained pets who help you to forget your stress, anxiety and feel attached to pets. The most common form of such pet is dogo argentino while other pets can also fall in this category. They may include rabbits, cats, ducks, chickens, and pigs. Some people prefer to keep wild animals as pets for example crocodiles and lizards. Such pets may come into this category but you cannot fly with them overseas.

People usually keep pets in houses but they do not fall under the category of emotional support. That is why such pets are restricted from taking flights with you.
