Hello Alex – you are correct that Turkey requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated for rabies every 12 months. You can speak with your veterinarian but revaccinating your pet should not hurt it. Your other option would be to have another rabies titer test done shortly prior to entering Turkey that will prove the approved antibody level in your pet’s blood. We would note that, if you choose to revaccinate your pet, the titer test you used to enter the UK will suffice to enter Turkey if all rabies vaccinations have been administered prior to the expiration of the previous vaccination from the date the blood was drawn for the sample.

Hi, i have dog which i brought from Turkey to the Uk in 2022. She has rabies titer test implemented before arriving uk. She also had rabies vaccination booster in january 2023 (rabies vaccination is valid for three years in UK). I am planning to take her back to Turkey in June. Should we get her vaccinated against rabies again (some sources say turkey requires rabies vaccination no older than 12 months)?
Hello Daisy – you can find requirements to import your dog to Bulgaria here: https://www.pettravel.com/immigration/bulgaria.cfm. If you have had a rabies titer test that was processed in an approved lab, it should be valid if you have kept your dog’s rabies vaccinations valid since the blood was drawn for the test. Indonesia is classified by the EU as an unlisted country which is why the test is required. Susan
