What this route typically costs
Critical points
Georgia and Turkey share a land border at Sarpi, near Batumi, a genuine option for owners already driving this direction. The paperwork is identical whether the pet flies or crosses overland.
No titre test is required in either direction on this corridor, one of the simpler routes in this build. Don't pay for a test the destination doesn't ask for.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.
Meeting Georgia's entry requirements
Advice worth following
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.
Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.
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.
