How to Travel to Istanbul, Turkey with Your Pet Using the JetPaw Dog Stroller

Traveling to Istanbul with your furry companion is easier and more stylish with the JetPaw Dog Stroller.

Here's how to do it:

1. Read Airline's Pet Flight Policies.

Before you book your flight, ensure that the airline:

The airplane allow the pet stroller in the cabin.
Accepts pet strollers as checked or carry-on (folded). The JetPaw small pet stroller with detachable carrier is design to fit under the seat while the stroller's frame is foldable fit enough in the airplane's overhead compartment.
Complies with TSA or IATA pet carrier rules; the JetPaw is TSA-approved pet stroller and carrier which fits beneath the seat of most international planes.

2. Prepare JetPaw for Air Travel.

To check in and board, use the JetPaw's removable carrier backpack.
If necessary, collapse the stroller frame and pack it in checked baggage.
Ensure your pet is comfortable and familiar with the carrier before travel day.

3. Arrive early to the airport.

Allow time for security screening, which may require removing your pet from the carrier hand carry the dog to the checking or scanning area.

The JetPaw's user-friendly design makes this quick and stress-free.

4. Enjoy Istanbul with Ease!

Once in Istanbul:

Use the JetPaw stroller to visit parks such as Gülhane and Yıldız.
Take your pet on the ferry (many accept pets on leashes or in carriers).
Visit pet-friendly cafes and walk around Sultanahmet without carrying your pet.

5. Tips for Smooth Travel

Here's everything you need to know!!

✅ A microchip

Must be ISO-compliant and completed before the rabies shot.

✅ Rabies vaccine.

Given at least 30 days before trip.

• Rabies titer test

Blood must be drawn 30-plus days following the rabies immunization.

✅ Health Certificate

Issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian

• USDA endorsement

Must be stamped within two days of departure.

✅ Fly to a major airport.

Istanbul, Ankara, or Izmir

📝Plan your travel around the USDA's 2-day endorsement regulation, especially if you're getting your health certificate returned back. I always advocate planning travel during the week (such as Tuesday through Thursday) to prevent timing concerns and give yourself a buffer in case something goes wrong.
