If you are travelling with an animal, you will need to take it out of its cage or carrying case at the security checkpoint so it is inspected separately. You must keep your pet under control during screening. Please allow extra time to go through security screening with an animal.
At the security screening checkpoint
Upon arrival at the screening checkpoint:
- Let the screening officer know you are travelling with your pet.
- You will need to undergo explosive trace detection (ETD) testing.
- The officer will offer to conduct the screening of your animal in a private room.
- You will need to remove your pet from its carrying case or cage and remove any items attached to your pet (except collars and harnesses)
- Keep your pet under control during screening.
- After the screening of your pet, its carrying case and any other items is complete, you will need to put your pet back in its carrying case.
