Animals get their own bathrooms at JFK Airport, New York

Special bathrooms for animals have been installed at the John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York. One of such, located at Terminal 4 is among a growing number of "pet relief facilities" being installed at major hubs accross the United States.

The facility at Terminal 4 of JFK Airport is a 70 square foot room. It allows dogs and other animals to relieve themselves without needing to exit the building to search for a place to do it outside, which required exiting through the security line.

The facility is fitted with a dispenser of plastic doggie bags and a hose provided for the owner to clean the area up for the next pet.

The US federal regulations will require all airports over 10,000 passengers per year to install a pet relief area in every terminal by August this year.
