No law requires your Emotional Support Animal (ESA), to wear identifying clothes when they're out with you in public. The only legal requirement for your ESA is having a prescription letter from a qualified therapist or mental health professional. Having this means your furry friend can travel and live with you following federal laws. 

Emotional support animals (ESA) provide emotional comfort to their owners. Therefore, they should be allowed in all public spaces, right?

Emotional support animals, commonly abbreviated at ESA's, provide an important service for millions of Americans. They offer therapeutic benefits in the form of emotional support. Emotional support animals provide love and affection to their owners to combat conditions, including anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

Connecting with the right doctor to secure an official emotional support animal prescription letter is simple. 

To start, find a mental health professional in the area. A psychiatrist can prescribe your emotional support animal and provide you a letter detailing the prescription. Or, a licensed therapist can direct you to an appropriate resource like a psychopharmacologist to write the letter of prescription after their official recommendation.
