2. Turtles
Turtles make great first time pets and emotional support animals for kids. Turtles and tortoises
have a pack load of benefits like they are low maintenance, quiet and no allergenic animals that
are easy to keep and maintain. However, before bringing any animal home, it is better that you
research it thoroughly and make sure that you have details of all the nearby and local
veterinarians, in case your animal needs any medical assistance.
3. Birds
Everyone loves birds and since they are so colorful and cheerful, they are quite fascinating for
kids also. They are low maintenance than both cats and dogs but this does not mean that they
do not have anything unique about them. Birds have their own and unique personalities, that
shines through their eyes and chirping.
They are quite intelligent and probably the one animals that could actually communicate with
you. If you want something that could interact with your kids and be a lifelong friend, for 20
years or more, then birds are ideal for it.
4. Dogs
No matter it is a pet or an ESA dog rule everywhere. And they make a great first time animal for
kids also. However, before bringing any dog home, it is important that you make sure that its
personality matches your kid’s personality.
Ideally, a small dog breed will be ideal for your little one. Dogs need more maintenance than
cats and caged birds but they are great if your child needs someone to walk and run around
with.
5. Fish
Looking for something that does not need much space or maintenance? Think ‘fish’. Besides
being colorful, serene and easy to accommodate, fishes make great pets and emotional support
animals for kids that are introverts and do not want a noisy type of animal.
You can get a small fishbowl to keep your fish or bring in a small or medium-sized aquarium to
house more varieties of fish. In either case, you will need to take care of your fish’s environment
and food. Choose good quality food and clean the bowl or aquarium every week.
Emotional support animals provide comfort, love, and companionship to the people who are
looking for some emotional help but are too shy to establish any meaningful relationship with
other people. An ESA letter for housing provides the needed comfort and support and helps
them have a fulfilling life.
