Two DC Airports Open Pet 'Pit Stop' Areas

One Features Fake Fire Hydrants And Artificial Turf For Your Pet's Relief

Two Washington, DC area airports have opened pet relief areas giving animals a place to go to the bathroom before getting on an an airplane.

The two fenced-in indoor areas at Washington's Dulles airport have fake fire hydrants, artificial turf, and plastic baggies so that owners can clean up after their pets. They also have a flushing system and ventilation to keep things sanitary. Radio station WTOP reports that there are outdoor areas at both Dulles and Washington Reagan International Airport.

Federal regulations require "service animal relief areas" for animals like guide dogs who accompany their owners of flights, but the areas are open to all pets traveling with their families.
