The Charlotte Douglas International Airport has seven official pet relief areas. Five are located indoors, after security. They are located on the A/B Connector, on the Concourse A Connector, on the corner between Concourses D and E, and in Concourse E. Another indoor pet relief option is available in Baggage Claim, before security. Travelers can easily access either relief station regardless of their airline, and they are available to use 24/7. These facilities exist for both traveling animals and members of the airport’s CLT Canine Crew, a team of in-service therapy dogs used to provide entertainment and relaxation to fellow passengers.  The airport also has two small outdoor areas located on either side (East and West) of the Arrivals/Baggage Claim level.

What to Expect from Charlotte Douglas Airport Pet Relief Stations
If your pup can only use the bathroom outside, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its pet policies might not live up to your expectations. There are two small outdoor pet relief areas located outside the terminal at the ends of the Arrivals/Baggage Claim level.  

However, when pressed, there is the large fountain just outside Baggage Claim. The fountain has several patches of grass—perfect for your fussy pet. This central location allows for easy access regardless of flight and terminal. However, it is not an official relief area, meaning you will not find the amenities you might expect an airport to provide. We recommend bringing your own bags and water.

The indoor areas are small and centrally-located. They are not in enclosed rooms, meaning your shy or skittish dog might have a difficult time relaxing enough to use the restroom. However, they include artificial grass, small, fake fire hydrants, and bags for an easy clean-up.
