Pet Relief Areas

Two indoor pet relief areas can be found post-security in Concourse B (gate B1) and Concourse C (gate C1).

Outdoor pet relief areas can be found on the east and west ends of the terminal, outdoors on Level 1 (Baggage Claim Level). Both areas are fenced, shaded and provide a nice wood chip and grassy area for traveling pets to run, romp, and find relief before or after their flight. Complimentary waste bags are available. 

Animals in the Terminal:

Palm Beach County Ordinance Appendix B (Airport Regulations)

  • Section 2-6(f). All persons shall use the utmost care to prevent any animal under their care or control from urinating or defecating upon the sidewalks of the airport or in the terminal or other public buildings. If an animal under one’s care or control does urinate or defecate, the owner or handler shall clean the soiled area.

• Penalties:

  • Sec. 1-6. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations may result in prosecution as a second-degree misdemeanor and may include a fine not to exceed $500.00 per violation and/or imprisonment not to exceed 60 days.
