ESA and service animals: different roles
By Amu. Updated .
An ESA letter does not establish service-animal status
An emotional support animal’s companionship and a service animal’s trained work are distinct. An ESA letter or a pet profile does not give the animal service-animal access to stores, restaurants, or other public places.
Check travel requirements separately
An ESA letter does not grant airline access. Check the airline’s current pet policy and the rules for your destination before booking. Amu does not sell service-animal certification or guaranteed travel access.
Considering an ESA evaluation?
Start preliminary screening to check Amu service criteria. Health answers stay in your browser. A clinician conducts a separate evaluation in SimplePractice; screening does not guarantee a letter.
