Fort Lauderdale International Airport Pet Relief Stations Terminal Guide

Each of the Fort Lauderdale Airport’s four terminals has its own outdoor pet relief area.

See below for tips on accessing these areas.  

  • To access the pre-security Terminal 1 pet relief area, exit through the baggage claim area. The station will be toward the center of the curb. 
  • To access the Terminal 2 pet relief area, exit through the baggage claim area. The station will be toward the center of the curb and close to the Palm Parking Garage. 
  • To access the Terminal 3 pet relief area, exit through the arrivals baggage claim area. The station is across the street from the Palm Parking Garage. 
  • To access the Terminal 4 pet relief area, exit through the baggage claim in the arrivals terminal. 
  • To access the post-security pet relief area in Terminal 1 (Concourse A), enter through the Upper Level security and walk toward the Concourse A. The relief station will be on your left, next to the bathroom and just before Gate A3.

What to Expect from Fort Lauderdale Airport Pet Relief Areas

 The Fort Lauderdale Airport pet relief areas are well-kept and relatively convenient. The outdoor areas are large, grassy areas contained by a latched fence. Most are outside of the Palm Garage, allowing both arriving and departing passengers to quickly reach a designated relief area.

Terminal 1 is the most animal-friendly, as passengers have both pre- and post-security options. Unfortunately, those traveling through other Terminals cannot access the post-security Terminal 1 area. This means, if your dog needs to use the bathroom, you will need to re-enter through security.

The indoor Fort Lauderdale Airport pet relief areas are very new. However, their locations—in Terminal 1 (Concourses A and C)—is very convenient for both departing and arriving flights. 

When it comes down to it, the Fort Lauderdale Airport pet relief areas could be a lot worse. Though inconvenient for passengers rushing to their flights, the outdoor areas are well-maintained and spacious, providing room for your pup to run around and stretch his legs.
