5 pets that need the least amount of maintenance  

In modern times of stress and chaos, we are always looking for resources that provide us some respite from the extreme demands of maintaining a decent living. An increasing number of people are suffering from emotional disorders. The psychologists and Psychiatrists in in-patient and out-patient facilities are running on full bookings. Family members and friends are busy in their lives due to the workload and social bonds have never been so fragile. Human beings have an innate desire to bond with a living being for emotional and psychological stability. 

  This is the reason many psychologists are recommending patients have the comfort of an emotional support animal. An emotional support animal is different from a normal pet because it serves the purpose of providing emotional support to the owner. However, many times, the owners who require the services of an emotional support animal are not at the best in their emotional and physical well-being. So, the ideal scenario for such prospective owners is to select a pet or emotional support animal that provides the best emotional support with the least maintenance requirements. 

  Many people believe that cats are the type of pets that need the least amount of looking-after and care. The argument is true when we are considering having a normal pet that does not serve any therapeutic purpose.  When we are considering having the services of an animal that can provide emotional comfort and support, we have to consider an animal whose maintenance and emotional support quality have a decent balance.   

To serve this exact purpose, the majority of owners opt for having an ESA dog with realesaletter for giving them company when they require it the most.  Dogs require more maintenance compared to cats but their emotional support qualities are way better than cats, as dogs form close emotional bonds with their owners.   

Many people who have been suffering from psychological or emotional issues report a reduction in the psychological symptoms in the presence of their emotional support dog. However, we also have to look for dog breeds that require low maintenance and less amount of daily care. Dog breeds are different in their requirements and we have to choose the one that needs the least amount of maintenance. Below we are mentioning the Dog breeds that would provide you with maximum emotional comfort but require comparatively low maintenance.  

Greyhound

We know that you have a surprised look on your face by reading the name of Greyhound. Greyhounds have been known as the champions in racecourse grounds. You must have seen them competing in racing events and must have opposite perceptions about them. However, the reality is that they need a minimum amount of care; a half-hour walk to the nearest park is enough to fulfill the physical exercise requirements of a Greyhound.   

You can have their maximum company at home and have all the emotional support you need. It is also important to mention here that if you are planning to keep your dog in a rented apartment, you should have an official letter through realesaletter.com known as an ESA letter with you. The official letter would provide your ESA with all the rights and it will help you keep your ESA with you all the time. 

Coming back to our discussion about Greyhounds, they do not have a thick coat which translates into less effort from the owner for grooming purposes. Moreover, they are quite independent in terms of meeting their time requirements; they will sleep on their own and will not disturb you if they are mildly disturbed or frustrated.

  Dachshund

Dachshunds are one of the most devoted dog breeds that can provide you with all the emotional support you require. However, with their extreme personality characteristics of love and warmth, they are very low-maintenance pets. Unlike some other dog breeds who require long physical exertion for feeling in the best of health, dachshunds have small legs, and they only need a few minutes of walking daily. They do not pose high requirements for you at all. Moreover, if you train them well, they can play on their own for several hours a day. You only need to provide them with different play toys and they will give you a nice time just by seeing them play.

  Shiba Inu

It must be new information for you about Shiba Inu as they had been bred originally in Japan for giving support and company to hunters. Although, when they are at home, they exhibit personalities like a cat. They are very affectionate but also mind their own business when the owners are busy or at work. 

The only major requirement is that you need to eliminate hazardous objects at home from their reach as they are very curious and want to explore different things at the first sight. Some dog owners report that when they tried to bring Shiba Inu to their rented places, the housing authority demanded them to produce an emotional support animal letter for housing.  

  It is an official document issued by a licensed therapist that gives an additional right to your ESA pet for staying with you in some of the restricted areas. So, concluding our discussion about Shiba Inu, they should be on your choice list if you are considering having a dog as an emotional support pet. To conclude our discussion, you have three different dog breeds to choose from as we have explained in our discussion. Now it is up to your choice and preference which dog breed you select for meeting your emotional support needs while also considering the requirements for their maintenance.
