Dog-Friendly Airlines

With the holidays approaching what better way than to bring your furry best friend along and enjoy the change of scenery together. Don’t leave your buddy behind, start planning your vacation getaway.

Here is a list of dog-friendly airlines and their policies:

Make certain to book your travels far in advance as some airlines restrict the number of pets to be transported both in cargo and in the cabin. Don’t forget to confirm your flight reservations prior to your flight departure. If you are traveling outside of the US, be sure to ask your veterinarian for a health certificate for your dog and if your destination requires special vaccines or titter tests.

Be certain that if you dog will be traveling with you onboard that the carrying case complies with the airlines specifications. Check Wet Nose Guide for a selection of travel bags for your pooch.

Dog-Friendly Airports:

If you have a layover aim to stop at one of these dog friendly airports. Both you and your pooch can stretch your legs and paws before the flight. Make sure your dog has time to stop by the designated “relief station” before heading to the departure gate. As in every case, please pick up after your dog and provide fresh water.

Austin – located at the lower level, east of the terminal, this relief pit stop has a stretch of grass that you can walk your dog.

Houston – located outside Terminal B, there is a small relief station for your dog to stretch her paws

Charlotte – though there isn’t an official dog relief station, there is a fountain with trees and plants outside of baggage claims that may do the trick in reducing any travel anxiety your dog may have.

Cleveland – just outside the main terminal is a grassy area for your leashed dog to do zooms.

Phoenix – there are two fenced in spots for Spot to do his business at this airport! Head over to Terminal 3 for the Paw Pad and Terminal 4 for the Bone Yard.
