Emotional support animals help people with disabilities (e.g., providing them with some level of comfort, or being their animal companion) to live better lives. The differences between the regular pets and the emotional support animals is that they need prescriptions from the mental health professionals for various mental health conditions.

Emotional Support Animals (ESA) also require a large variety of items and gears to be taken care of. These gears can include leashes, collars, harnesses, toys and much more. The animals have their own needs to take care of as well. These needs are what make it necessary for the owners to provide the proper gear for their ESA.
If an ESAs is properly identified, people will be less likely to approach it. Strangers tend to bark at the dog that people are approaching, but for people who have an emotional support animal, it can be overwhelming. It’s not uncommon for strangers to approach people with friendly pets or ESAs but it’s possible for someone who has ESA to be overwhelmed by all the attention.
What are the Gears needed for your Emotional Support Animal?
Leashes
Leashes are the primary tools used by those who want to take care of their animal. They help keep the animal under control and keep it safe at all times. For this reason, owners need to make sure that they have leashes that are comfortable enough for their ESAs and will not harm them in any way. They should also choose durable ones so that they do not break easily when used with the animal on a daily basis.
ESA Collar
An ESA collar is one of the most popular forms of an ESA identification card. This identification card has the capability to tell others that your pet is allowed to accompany you into places where people and other pets may be. There are also some that say that they have a restriction on the number of pets allowed.
ESA Harness
Emotional support animal harness is a device that is used to provide assistance to those with a mental disability and mental disorders. People with mental health disabilities may also use this item to help them move about more effectively and comfortably while they are at home.

ESA ID Card
This is a card that the person who has an Emotional Support Animal needs to carry. The Emotional Support Animal has a similar name to the owner and must be visible at all times in public places.
ESA Letter
An ESA letter needs to be signed by a psychiatrist or other professional who is trained to treat those who need emotional support. You may also know it as an ESA Evaluation or a Prescription Letter. It certifies that your pet is necessary to support you emotionally during your mental health treatment. This letter certifies to a mental health professional (LMHP) or a therapist (PCT) whether or not a companion animal can help you and/or a mental health professional (PCP) when you are receiving treatment.
Toys
There are toys that need to be taken care off as well because they are used by Emotional Support Animals (ESA) as well. This is another important tool for owners because it allows them to provide their animals with the mental stimulation that they need in order to be happy and healthy at all times. This is a good way of making sure that they are mentally fit and will not harm themselves when they are playing with their toys or interacting with their owners in other ways.
