To register your pet for emotional support, follow these steps:
1. Contact a health care professional. A referral from a doctor or psychotherapist is usually required to confirm the need to use the animal as emotional support.
2. Research the requirements of airlines, hotels, educational institutions and other places where you plan to use the animal for emotional support. Some places require additional paperwork or certificates.
3. Obtain an animal support certificate (ESA in Ohio) https://myserviceanimal.org/blog/how-to-register-an-emotional-support-animal-in-ohio/ from a medical professional.
