What is the Difference Between a Psychiatric Service Dog and an Emotional Support Animal?
Psychiatric Service Dog
PSD or Psychiatric Service Dog is a type of service dog that is specifically trained to assist you with psychiatric disabilities. A Psychiatric Service Dog’s specific tasks depend on your disability and specific needs.
Training: PSDs undergo training to perform specific tasks for their handler’s psychiatric disability and help them function more independently.
Legal Protection: PSDs are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Federal law in the United States prohibits discrimination against a person with disabilities.
Public Access: PSDs are considered service animals and are granted access to public places where pets are typically not allowed.
Housing and Traveling: Service animals are allowed to stay with their owner in a building where a pet is restricted and allowed to travel in a plane.
Emotional Support Animals
The primary role of an ESA is to alleviate emotional or psychological distress through their presence and companionship. The presence of an Emotional Support Animal can help you manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
Training: Unlike service animals, ESAs do not require specialized training to perform specific tasks or actions.
Legal Protection: Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), you can keep your animals in housing with no-pets policies if you have an ESA letter.
Public Access: ESAs do not have the same public access rights as service animals. They are not granted access to public places where pets are typically prohibited, such as restaurants, stores, or transportation systems.
Housing and Traveling: According to the California ESA laws, ESAs are legal to stay with their owner in a building where the pet is restricted.


What are the Benefits of having an ESA Letter or Service Dog Letter in California?
Legitimacy and Verification
An ESA or Service Dog letter serves as official documentation verifying the need for an animal. It is typically issued by a licensed mental health professional and states that the presence of an animal benefits your disability.
Housing Accommodation
An ESA or service dog letter can be essential for obtaining reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). With a valid ESA letter, you can live with your animal in housing that typically has no-pets policies.
Air Travel Accommodation
If certain conditions are met, ESAs and Service Dogs may be allowed to accompany their owners in an aircraft cabin. Airlines often require An ESA or Service Dog letter to verify the need for the animal and ensure compliance with their specific policies.
Accommodation
A Service Dog letter or ESA Letter can support requests for reasonable accommodations in certain situations, such as housing or employment. It ensures that you can benefit from the assistance of their Service Dog.
How to Spot a Fraud ESA Letter Provider?
Patients often come to me to verify their ESA or PSD letter. They have fallen victim to ESA letter scams, making it crucial to understand what a legitimate ESA letter looks like and the information it must contain.
Before contacting any doctor for an ESA letter, ensure that the doctor’s license is in good standing and up to date. An ESA letter must come from a licensed mental health professional.
An ESA letter must be written on the provider’s official letterhead, including their license number and practice address, to be legitimate. It must include your name and diagnosis of an eligible emotional or mental disability. The letter must also have the provider’s recommendation for an ESA and their signature.
