An Emotional Support Animal is a companion animal that provides therapeutic benefit to an individual with a mental or emotional disability. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not require specific training but are prescribed by a licensed mental health professional as part of a treatment plan.

ESAs provide comfort through companionship and can help ease anxiety, depression, and certain phobias. However, they are not trained to perform specific tasks for a disability. Service animals, on the other hand, are trained to perform tasks directly related to an individual's disability.
