1Cademy - The difference between emotional support animals and service animals

Concept

The difference between emotional support animals and service animals

Emotional support animals provide companionship/relief while service animals perform specific tasks (e.g. alerting others of a seizure)
Service animals need to be trained
Service animals tend to be dogs or minature horses, whereas emotional support animals have a wider range of options as long as they do not create disturbances and are domestic animals.
ESA's are covered by the Federal Fair Housing Act while Service Animals are covered under the Americans With Disabilities Act
