Question: What are 2 considerations for owning an exotic emotional support animal?

Answer: An owner using an exotic species or breed for an Emotional Support Animal would likely need to address these issues:

  • Whether the chosen species or breed presents a health hazard to others (i.e., a poisonous spider or full-blood wolf).
  • Whether there is a reasonable need to have that particular type of animal that a more traditional animal such as a dog, cat, or rabbit would not equally fulfill.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
