Animals provide us with lots of love, affection, and companionship – it’s why so many people have pets. Some animals provide emotional and mental health support to people with mental health or psychiatric conditions, and these are usually known as emotional support animals.

In many ways it’s like having a pet, but there’s often a lot of confusion surrounding them. Are they the same as service dogs? Can you take them everywhere with you? What does the law say? And what are the best dogs for emotional support?
