Maybe it's an older term? Or a term in Southern California? My apartments call my animals "companions" not pets, my current doctor the same, and even back in 2002 my doctor used the term "companion". It's basically, if not actually, the same as an ESA. They're animals that meet a medical need, but are not trained like service animals are.
