Turkey and Armenia have no formal diplomatic relations and their shared land border has been closed since 1993, so unlike the Georgia corridor, there is no overland alternative here.
Armenia's health certificate window is 5 days before travel, tighter than the 10-day window common elsewhere in this build. Time your vet appointment accordingly.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.

Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
If this is your first international move, consider an IPATA-registered pet transport agent. They handle the documents, airline booking and crate sizing, and can troubleshoot problems.
