Finding a vet away from home

For longer stays, register with a local clinic before you need one. A routine appointment early on puts your dog's baseline on their system. Ask how out-of-hours emergencies work -- shared rotas are common -- and save that number immediately. Clinics advertising fear-free or low-stress handling are a good bet for nervous dogs.

Grooming between appointments

Travel and new environments show up in coats first. A quick brush every couple of days prevents the matting that turns into a shave-down, and it is also how you find ticks early after walks in long grass. Nails click on hard floors means they are overdue -- most groomers and many pet stores do walk-in nail trims. Ears deserve a check after any swim; trapped moisture is how infections start.

What to have on hand

Vaccination records (photo on your phone counts in most places).
Any daily medication, plus two extra days' worth.
The number of your home vet, in case the local clinic wants history.
Poison-control number for the country you are in.
