What this route typically costs
Critical points
Slovenia's other EU-bound routes in this build run entirely on the EU pet passport. Turkey doesn't accept it, and a separate certificate plus the full titre test protocol are required instead.
The 90-day wait is counted from the blood draw, not the lab result date. Book the test as early as your pet's vaccination schedule allows.
Turkey bans the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Fila Brasileiro, Dogo Argentino, Japanese Tosa, Rottweiler and their crosses under Law No. 5199, amended in 2021.

How Turkey handles incoming pets
What experienced owners do
Keep every original document together and take copies. Border officials want originals, and a missing signature or date can hold up clearance.
Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
