They say ESA animals need paperwork.

 

You can get it online, for $50 or so, no proof of any condition required.

that is illegal to do that and it isnt actual proof of a condition.

What proof do you need for a service dog?

 

The law states there is no permit or certificate as proof of any kind for service dogs.
