There are so many companies offering Emotional Support Animal services out there, that it can be difficult to know who to trust. That’s why when it comes to the legal protection for your beloved pet, you want to make sure you’re in good hands.

Here are 7 reasons more than 34,000 satisfied customers have chosen CertaPet for their Emotional Support Animal Letter needs:

1. Documents from Other Providers May Not Be Legal

You may have encountered ESA Registries that offer to register your pet as an emotional support animal. These websites certainly may look and sound official, but adding your pet to a registry is not a legal requirement for a pet to be classed as an Emotional Support Animal. Even worse, without an ESA Letter signed by a licensed mental health professional you have no legal protection at all against unnecessary pet fees and no pet policies.

CertaPet’s ESA Letters fully comply with all Fair Housing and Air Carriers Act laws. Your landlord or airline can even verify the letter by contacting the mental health professional who approved it. Taking it a step further, they can also check the health professional’s license number on the official state website.

2. We Provide the Correct Legal Protection for Your State

The laws governing ESA letters vary from state to state. A low-cost ESA letter provider may not match you with a LMHP (Licensed Mental Health Professional) licensed in your state, making your ESA letter void. They may, for example, issue you a letter signed by a therapist licensed in Florida, when you live in California. This can prevent you from getting legal protection from unnecessary pet fees and no-pet policies.

CertaPet has a huge network of qualified mental health professionals licensed in over 46 states.This ensures we can match you with a therapist able to provide a letter applicable to your state, so you have the legal protection and peace of mind, too.

3. ESA Letters That Are "Free" or "Lifetime" are scam

An ESA Letter from a licensed mental health professional is like a prescription, it has to be reassessed and approved annually. For this reason, any site offering ESA Letters that are “free” or “last for a lifetime” are likely to be scams.

CertaPet only supplies ESA Letters that have been manually assessed and approved by a certified, licensed mental health professional. Additionally, these ESA Letters must be renewed each year to maintain their compliance with the law.

4. Registries Do Not Provide You with Legal Protection

Registries do little more than add your pet’s name to a database. That’s it. They may also provide you with badges, a vest, and an official looking certificate. But NONE of these replace a consultation with a therapist or licensed mental health professional, which is the ONLY way to get a LEGALLY BINDING Emotional Support Animal Letter.

With CertaPet you know your info is going to a real therapist and not some quack who downloaded their diploma from Google images. So my advice to anyone who feels a little guarded about their information, you can put your trust in CertaPet that your application is 100% confidential.”
