The Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority, operator of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) has updated existing regulations regarding animals using the terminal facility. The new regulations do not affect trained service animals, which are always welcome at any time. Other non-service animals including pets, emotional support, and comfort animals must adhere to the policy.  The updated rules can be summarized as follows:

Non-service animals will not be allowed in the terminal building unless traveling with their owner. Non-service animals must be kept in an animal carrier while inside the terminal. If no carrier is available, the animal must be carried.  If the animal is too large to fit in a carrier or be carried, the animal must be kept on a non-retractable leash extending no longer than three feet from the owner. All animals must be housebroken. The owner is responsible for cleaning up and reporting any mess left by the animal. All animals must be under the control of the owner.
