What is a Psychiatric Service Dog?
A psychiatric service dog (PSD) is an animal that assists individuals with psychiatric or emotional disabilities. These dogs are specially trained to qualify as psychiatric service dogs to offer proper assistance to their owners. Such assistance includes:
- Reminding the owners to take medicine,
- Comforting the owner in socially anxious situations,
- Relaxing the owners who get panic attacks,
- Taking care of the owner who has self-destructive behavior, etc.
Rights for Psychiatric Service Dogs
People with mental and emotional disorders can benefit greatly with the help of a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD). These trained animals have legal protection at the federal and state levels because of the significant benefits they offer. Here are a few regulations that protect you and your Psychiatric Service Dog while requesting reasonable accommodations and traveling facilities.
- Americans with Disability Act — A Psychiatric Service Dog is protected under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). PSDs must be permitted to accompany their owners in all areas where the public is welcome. This rule also applies to companies and other organizations that provide services to the public.
- Fair Housing Act (FHA) — According to the Fair Housing Act (FHA), PSD owners have the right to live with their dogs in most housing types. In order to live with a Psychiatric Service Dog, owners are not required to pay any extra fees or deposits to their landlord or housing association. A Psychiatric Service Dog is permitted to live on properties with their owners even if there is a ‘no-pet’ policy.
- Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) — Psychiatric Service Dogs can also travel with their owners as they are covered by the ACAA. To fly with your Psychiatric Service Dog, you must submit your ‘PSD letter’ to airlines prior to flight. Ensure that your Psychiatric Service Dog is adequately trained so that they don’t disturb passengers while traveling.
