Ottawa International Airport (YOW) pet relief areas are located inside and outside the terminal. Passengers traveling with service animals or small animals as carry-on can access the animal relief areas past security: near Gate 18 in the Canada/International gate area; and near the bottom of the escalator in the U.S. gate area. Outside, there is a designated pet relief area across the street from the passenger terminal (Level 1) near the south end of the Parkade (P1). The area is clearly marked and plastic bags and garbage containers are available for disposing of waste. Passengers should contact their airlines for specific policies and fares for transporting pets in cargo or for traveling with a pet or service animal. Passengers should contact CATSA for information on security screening for a pet or service animal.
