Let’s Travel with Service Animal Letter | PDSC

All Air Carriers are legally required to allow both emotional support animals and service animal letter on flights without any charge. However, it is always good to review the requirements for service animals for your particular airline, and whether there are any conditions that need to be met. In further, some travel destinations provide further credentials for Service Animal Travel.

What evidence is required to prove that the animal is a service or emotional support animal?

Any type animal can qualify for a service animal letter, whether it is dog, cat, bird, or even squirrel also.  There are no federal confines on which species can qualify as an ESA letter. 

For a service animal travel who’s use is not obvious, as with any public housing, the airline representative may inquire (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or mission has the dog or your service animal been trained to perform. According to rules and  regulations, an airline must take the following as indication that the animal is indeed a service animal letter: (1) the credible verbal assurances of a traveler with a disability using the animal, the existence of harnesses or markings on harnesses or ID cards or other written certified documentation.

For every emotional support animals, the documentation mandatory is different such as ESA letter, and most airlines necessitate up-to-date documentation (i.e., dated within a year of the date of travel) from a mental-health professional stating that: (1) the passenger has a mental health-related disability; the passenger needs the animal with Service Animal Letter for the mental-health condition; and the provider of the ESA letter is a licensed mental-health professional (or a medical doctor) and the passenger is under the individual’s professional care. Most airlines have specific forms that are found on their website.

Having a service animal letter from professional doctor is critical to certify federal protection for housing and service animal travel.If you really want to order your ESA letter then PDSC is the priority destination!!
