How PetAeron Keeps Your Pet Safe on the Journey to Ankara
Your Pet's Safety & Comfort Is Our First Priority — Every Step of the Way
Ankara’s Central Anatolian climate is dramatically different from India — with cold snowy winters regularly dropping below -10°C and hot dry summers exceeding 35°C, the Turkish capital presents unique climate planning challenges for pet relocation services in Ankara. Turkey’s strict pet import regulations — particularly the 90-day FAVN waiting period, the 10-day health certificate window, and the 24-120 hour parasite treatment timing — make this one of the most preparation-intensive international pet moves you can plan. PetAeron accounts for every Turkish regulation, vaccination timeline, titer test requirement, and India to Ankara transit condition well before your pet’s journey begins — so your dog or cat arrives at Esenboğa Airport healthy, compliant, and completely ready to begin life in Turkey’s magnificent capital city.
The 90-Day FAVN Rule — The Most Critical Step in Ankara Pet Relocation
The Rabies Antibody Titer Test — known as the FAVN test — is the single most time-consuming and most commonly misunderstood requirement in pet relocation services in Ankara from India. Turkey strictly enforces a 90-day waiting period from the date the blood was drawn for the FAVN test before your pet is permitted to travel. This means that even after a satisfactory FAVN result is received, your pet must wait a full 3 months from the blood draw date before flying to Ankara. The FAVN test must additionally be conducted at an EU-approved accredited laboratory, must return a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, and must be carried out at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination. As of 2025-2026, Turkish authorities strictly enforce this 90-day rule with zero tolerance. PetAeron builds this entire FAVN timeline — blood draw, 30-day post-vaccination window, 90-day wait, and travel date — into the complete preparation plan for every pet relocation service in Ankara from India.
Microchip First — Then Vaccine — Then Titer Test — The Correct Turkey Sequence
Pet relocation services in Ankara from India require a strict three-step sequence that cannot be altered or reversed. Step one — your pet must be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785-compliant chip before any other procedure is carried out. Step two — the rabies vaccination must be administered only after the microchip is confirmed in place, and must be given at least 30 days before travel and no more than 12 months before entry. Step three — the FAVN rabies antibody titer test must be conducted at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination, at an EU-approved accredited laboratory. After the blood draw, a 90-day waiting period must be observed before travel. Your pet must also be at least 6 months old at the time of Turkey entry. PetAeron verifies every date, every sequence, and every timing window at the very beginning of every pet relocation service in Ankara — building your pet’s complete preparation calendar from the first appointment to the travel date.
Turkey Banned Breeds — What Ankara Pet Owners Must Know Before Planning
Turkey enforces a strict dog breed prohibition list that applies fully to every pet relocation service in Ankara — and attempting to import a banned breed results in the dog being denied entry at Esenboğa Airport. Completely prohibited breeds in Turkey include American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro. Mixed breeds that visually resemble any of these banned breeds may also be denied entry at the discretion of Turkish border authorities. PetAeron conducts a mandatory breed eligibility check as the absolute first step of every pet relocation service in Ankara — before any vaccination schedule is planned, any titer test is booked, or any travel date is considered.
Parasite Treatment — Timed Precisely Within 24-120 Hours of Departure
All pets entering Turkey from India must receive parasite treatment against ticks and Echinococcus tapeworm within a precise window of 24 to 120 hours before their departure date — not earlier, not later. This treatment must be administered by a licensed veterinarian and recorded with the exact date, time, product name, dose, and veterinarian signature and stamp in your pet’s health documentation. A parasite treatment administered outside this window — even by a few hours — can result in your pet being held at Turkish customs in Ankara. PetAeron’s pet relocation services in Ankara include precise parasite treatment scheduling in India, coordinated within the exact 24-120 hour window before your pet’s flight to Esenboğa Airport — so this critical timing requirement is never missed.
