Pet-friendly Areas
We know how important your pet is to you. DFW has created pet relief areas in each of the five terminals for traveling convenience.
Pets are required to be on a leash at all times when visiting DFW Airport. Additionally, if you will be traveling from DFW with your pet, please keep the appropriate pet carrier on hand. Only pets with an accompanied ticketed passenger can use the designated areas.

Please respect the Law Enforcement Canines when traveling with your pets. Travelers must ensure their pet is in its required crate and/or on a leash.
- Contact between your pet(s) and Law Enforcement Canines is strictly prohibited.
- Petting of Law Enforcement Canines is strictly prohibited.
