Arizona Phoenix	Sky Harbor Intl Airport maintains two park areas: "Bone Yard" is just outside the Baggagge Claim level at the west end of Terminal 4. This 2,000 sf fenced in area is shaded in the day and lighted at night, and has a bone-shaped patch in the center filled with kitty litter and surrounded by crushed gravel. Pet owners can use the park's faucets and buckets to cool off their pets and the plastic mitts to clean up after them. "Paw Pad" is located just west of Terminal 3 inside a framed archway and a fence decorated with paw prints. The pet-relief area offers pets and their owners the same amenities as the Bone Yard, but instead of gravel and kitty littter, the Paw Pad has grass. We have found that Sky Harbor is the most dog friendly airport. MrPaws by Snow gives them 4 paws up, our highest award. Thank you Sky Harbor!!!	No photo available

	CANADA
Alberta Edmonton	Relief areas for service dogs.
British Columbia Vancouver	A long way to the front of the airport, but lovely grass once you get there. Going through customs they often get you out of line so you can finish fast, and relieve your dog. No designated area - but they are under construction, so maybe . . .	No photo available
