First of all, your pet must first be microchipped (ISO Standard 11784 pet microchip that is a 15 digit and non-encrypted or Annex A to ISO standard 11785).
In addition, if your pet enters Turkey with a rabies antibodies titer test completed 3 months prior to entering the country, then it will likely not be subject to home quarantine. Otherwise the quarantine may last for 3/4 months.

Dogs must also be vaccinated against: Parainfluenza and Parvovirus (DHLPP), Leptospirosis, Hepatitis. Canine Distemper, Bordetella, Rabies (vaccine administered at least one month prior to travel).

In summary, you should have:
- Pet Microchip
- Original Rabies Vaccine Certificate
- Rabies Titer Test
- Airline Health Certificate (APHIS form 7001 with USDA endorsement) = international health certificate to be completed by your veterinarian within 10 days of departure (sometime called export certificate)

The Pitbull Terrier and Japanese Tosa are classed as "dangerous" and may not be imported to Turkey.

It's better if your pet can travel with you. Otherwise an import permit must be obtained from the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

Be careful, there might be a time of the day when to arrive at customs for same day customs clearance.

You can ask for more information with the Consulate of Turkey.

Best of luck and keep us informed. See you soon on the forum
