Airport pet relief

Pet relief areas at Keflavík International Airport (KEF)

🇮🇸 Reykjavik · Iceland · KEF

Assistance dogs only

Reykjavik has a relief area, but it is reserved for assistance dogs — a pet dog travelling with you cannot use it.

Before or after security?

🏙️ Landside (before security) Possible

✈️ Airside (after security) Yes

For a layover, you need an airside (post-security) area — you usually cannot re-clear security.

Where exactly

Animal transit facility inside the terminal, reached with a ground-staff escort — exact location not published (airside)

For assistance dogs in transit only, with a MAST transit permit requested 48 hours ahead and a stopover under three hours. A pet dog cannot walk through the terminal at all: it is handed to an approved handler on arrival.

Has the spot moved, or is one missing?

Tell us which terminal, and whether it is before or after security — we check and update the page.
