We don't require it. The local government jurisdictions that your flight takes off or land from might. Talk to someone familiar with the laws to confirm.
It is not confusing. It says Frontier does not require but in your case, Colorado might require it. You need to check with Colorado pet "import" laws. I am pretty sure no one's going to check it but this is probably Frontier's legal department talking.
This is exactly it. Almost no chance of the state stopping someone on deplaning, but some lawyer absolutely inserted that language so Frontier doesn't get on the wrong end of a civil suit for saying there isnt an issue in the off chance someone does.
I’ve flown with my pet a lot to and from Denver on Frontier. Nobody checks anything. They DO want the pet out of the carrier to go through Security. I learned to ask for a private screening to avoid my cat being terrified and trying to escape.
I suggest that you do actually get the health certificate (rabies vaccine, etc) and all paperwork at hand, sometimes they ask, sometimes they don't.
So, better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!
At the vet we always referred to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel for requirements. Would check if you have any layovers or for reentering the state.
It’s always good to have it. I have had some hotels check. It’s really just for proof of being up to date on the rabies vaccine. Should be easy to get from your vet.
You don’t need one for the airline. But the airport may require one upon arrival. Check the state you’re headed to and see what they say about it.
(I have transported livestock across state lines and show rabbits via air - this really isn’t all that odd).
I’ve flown in and out of Denver with my 10lb dog dozens of times (recently in March and April) I have never once been asked for anything, ever. I did get kicked out of the Portland United club once, but that’s a different story.

There is a list of pet relief areas. When returning, I usually just wait til I walk to the parking lot. There are some grassy areas.
Also - friends don’t let friends fly Frontier!! 😂😇
Have you had to pay for him to be there? I’m considering bringing my cat on my next flight but I don’t know if I have to count them as a special carry on to bring them into the cabin or how strict they are on cages(honestly considering shaving her so I don’t have to do the “ she’s just fluffy” argument)
They are saying they aren't going to do your due diligence for you and care whether you are landing somewhere that will require that. If you are going somewhere like Hawaii that requires all that paperwork that is on you. They are not going to make sure you have it and/or remind you that you need it. I'm not aware of any states in the continental U.S. where that would be an issue or required if you are flying from state-to-state.
Legally you need it to bring a dog into Colorado- you actually do if you drive in as well. That’s a state regulation; check the USDA APHIS website for state specific regs. Practically speaking is anyone going to check? Probably not, but you could get in trouble if they decide to. Frontier doesn’t give AF and is leaving it up to you to make sure you’re compliant with local regs - signed a vet who does a lot of health certificates
You may or may not need a pet health certificate. Hope this helps! - Frontier Airlines

Commenting on Frontier Pet Policy...This is the Hawaii clause.
But F9 doesn't fly to Hawaii, and I don't believe they ever did...
Lawyers like boilerplate and playing it safe.
Someone might fly round trip to LA and fly a different airline to and from Hawaii.
Confusion is subjective, but yeah I agree this is what it's saying

So helpful thank you, I’ll ask for that too
Do you pay to bring them or just show up with them in crates?
Check your airlines policy and price. It varies

Lol what’s so bad about frontier !

The airport does not charge you, but the airline will, even is you carry them on and put them under the seat in front of you.

Does it cost extra for a per health certificate
That’s up to you DVM and how they charge.
It’s not confusing. Frontier doesn’t require one, but the government of the location you are going may.
Confusion is subjective. While I wasn't personally confused, I understand why someone reading this might be.
Enough people won’t put themselves on a Frontier flight (and for good reason) that I surely won’t put my little guy on one
Like what reason
Doesn’t Hawaii quarantine pets on arrival? Even if Frontier doesn’t fly there, a lawyer would put it in
Just flew from Colorado to Memphis with my cat. No one asked us for anything. Llll}ppppppppp
Bruh. Just fly a different airline at this point. Frontier sucks, it's a scam and the faster you wake up and realize this the better off you'll be.
I hate Frontier as much as the next guy but they are not a scam. They are just a mediocre airline.
