Pet food (solid)

Carry On Bags: Yes
Checked Bags: Yes

Dry or "moist" pet food is considered solid food.

TSA officers may instruct travelers to separate items from carry-on bags such as foods, powders, and any materials that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine. Travelers are encouraged to organize their carry-on bags and keep them uncluttered to ease the screening process and keep the lines moving.

For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page.
 The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
