Peacock, snake, dog? Which Pets Make the Best ESAs?
In the past few years, there have been crazy headlines about emotional support peacocks, turkeys, and monkeys flying on airlines as emotional support animals. While legally any animal can be an emotional support animal, we recommend only dogs and cats. Emotional support animals have legal rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but airlines and landlords ( see how to get an emotional support animal letter to landlord ) are only required to provide “reasonable accommodation.” If you want to travel with your ESA peacock, an airline can say no.
