Pennsylvania residents who rely on emotional support animals (ESAs) for comfort may wonder what the laws regarding registration and certification are. Here are the short descriptions of the requirements of the ESA letter laws in Pennsylvania.

1) To have an ESA in Pennsylvania, you must have a written prescription from a licensed mental health professional. It should mention that the animal provides emotional support that reduces one or more symptoms of your disability. 
2) The letter must also say that you are under mental health treatment.
3) The mental health provider should be registered in your state.
4) The ESA letter should have a license number and the provider's contacts.

Pennsylvania dog laws are essential to know if you are a dog owner in the state.

First, all dogs in the state must be licensed and vaccinated. 

If you adopt or get a dog and get an ESA letter in Pennsylvania, you need to register your animal with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement. A $4.50-$8.50 registration fee is paid online or by mail. 

When you register it, you will provide proof of your disability if you mention it.

Also, you may need to get proof of rabies vaccination for your emotional support animal or pet.

Pennsylvania dog laws prohibit leaving a dog unattended in a vehicle if the conditions inside the car are hazardous or could cause injury or death to the dog. Violating any of these laws can result in fines or imprisonment. Finally, dogs are not allowed to run at large, meaning they must be on a leash or under the direct control of the person responsible for them when off of their property.

Conclusion
Pennsylvania state is dog friendly but may prohibit some dog rights. If you get an ESA letter in PA, you should understand that all dog laws must be followed and be sure that your dog has all licenses and vaccinations to live in Pennsylvania.
