Getting through the dark dogged days of crippling anxiety or overwhelming hopelessness shouldn’t be dealt with alone. While therapists can help, having a pet beside you at home can make you feel safe and calm.

Emotional support animals change the lives of thousands throughout the country every day. Despite that, there are still a lot of misunderstandings surrounding them. Owners are often bombarded with uncomfortable questions or confronted when they want to bring their support animal into public spaces.

To thousands, having an emotional support animal (ESA) is a life-changing asset in their everyday lives. However, daily tasks like getting public transport, renting accommodation, or catching a flight can be increasingly complicated without an ESA letter.

Emotional support animals can completely change their owners' lives for the better. Whether through companionship, motivation, or reassurance, they give something invaluable to millions daily.

Most American states follow federal law on emotional support animals (ESA) guidelines, rather than following their own legislation - and Rhode Island is no exception.
