It can be difficult to face restrictions or questions about your emotional support animal. If you need a doctor’s ESA letter to confirm your need for your companion, we’re here to make the process as stress-free as possible:
Emotional support animals are increasingly recognised for their important role in helping with conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges or hidden disabilities. A doctor’s ESA letter provides support for those who need their ESA in places where pets aren’t usually allowed, such as:
In the UK, emotional support animals don’t have the same legal rights as service animals. However, ESAs are recognised for their benefits to mental health and hidden disabilities. Laws such as the Equality Act 2010 and the Mental Health Act 1983 protect those with disabilities from unfair treatment. These laws help ensure that people with hidden disabilities or health impairments have access to the resources they need. For many, an emotional support animal is an essential support that helps them manage their symptoms and navigate daily life.
A letter from a doctor confirms that an ESA is vital to your wellbeing and support your health.
Yes. While Wilmer Health is in the UK and our doctors are GMC-registered, we provide ESA letters worldwide. Our letters are internationally recognised, so you can feel confident in your documentation wherever you go.
While any animal can be an emotional support animal, cats and dogs are the most common. Other animals, such as birds, rabbits and small rodents may also be considered emotional support animals. However, many countries, including the UK, restrict exotic animals like reptiles and certain birds in public spaces and housing due to health and safety reasons. It’s important to check local laws before choosing an ESA.
No, an ESA isn’t the same as a service animal. Service animals are trained to help people with disabilities perform specific tasks, like a guide dog for the visually impaired. Service animals also have legal protection in the UK and other countries.
In contrast, ESAs provide comfort through companionship, helping with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD. They aren’t trained to perform specific tasks but support their owners’ well-being through their presence.
A doctor’s emotional support animal (ESA) letter is an official document that states your emotional support animal helps alleviate symptoms of a mental, emotional or hidden disability.

Dogs and cats are the most common emotional support animals, but any animal can qualify as an ESA. Check local health laws for restrictions on exotic animals (e.g. reptiles, birds, etc).
Some airlines accept emotional support animals, but individual policies vary. Always check with your airline in advance to confirm requirements.
