Please visit the website and check the breed list before making a reservation for your pet. ## Weight and size requirements for pets in the cabin Like other airlines, Turkish Airlines' pet policy also allows pets in the cabin since they fit certain weight and size requirements. Let's discuss it in detail. The combined weight of the pet and its carrier cannot exceed 17 lbs. Please make sure you take the weight limit into consideration. When it comes to dog house dimensions, it cannot exceed 9 * 15.5 * 21.5 inches. If the size of the kennel exceeds this limit, airlines may not accept your pet as an in-cabin pet. ## What about larger kennels? You've learned about small pets that are small enough to take with you in the cabin. Then what about your larger pets? In these cases, your pet can be checked in as a piece of checked baggage. For pets and kennels that do not fit the weight and size requirements inside the cabin, they can travel as checked baggage on Turkish Airlines aircraft. Please ensure that there is enough room in the kennel for your pet to move around a bit and rest comfortably. Airlines advise you to invest in a quality kennel for your pet that has proper ventilation and is properly installed. Keep a written note of the instructions that came with the core. The staff handling baggage will read this and treat your pet accordingly. ## Turkish Airlines pet policy for emotional support and service animals You may bring emotional support animals and service dogs with you on all flights operated by Turkish Airlines to and from the United States. We will advise you to take care of your documents. Bring all the necessary documents and show them to the airlines before boarding the plane. * Documents required for emotional support and service animals * A certified veterinarian's approval confirms your pet's health and ability to travel. * You are also required to provide a written statement confirming that your pet has been trained to retrieve itself without disturbing other passengers and risking their own and their health.
