For air travel, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is the main gateway for Cincinnati area pet transport. Importantly, CVG offers pet relief areas, and airlines apply specific handling rules depending on whether your pet travels in-cabin or as cargo.
CVG lists indoor relief areas in Concourse A (near Gate A18) and Concourse B (near Gate B13), plus an outdoor relief area near Baggage Claim / Ground Transportation.
If your pet travels in-cabin, TSA (Transportation Security Administration) advises you to remove your pet from the carrier at the checkpoint while the carrier goes through screening.
For international travel planning, it also helps to know where border processing happens at CVG. U.S. CBP lists CVG support services (useful if you need follow-up/deferred inspection help tied to international travel documentation)
