Travelling pets are welcome at Pearson Airport. For their safety and comfort, they must be kept inside their carriers at all times. Be sure to let your airline know when you book your flight if you plan to travel with your pet. They will be able to tell you what size of carrier you will need, as well as any required travel documents.
Service Dog and Pet Relief Area
Service Dog and Pet Relief Areas are available outside and inside of Terminals 1 and 3, pre and post-security, as well as our Infield Concourse, for your convenience. Find them by following our directional and tactile signage inclusive of braille.
