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.

Choosing a vet in a new town

If you are staying a while, a local vet relationship is worth building before anything goes wrong. Book a routine visit early -- a checkup or a vaccine booster -- so the clinic has your dog's baseline on file. Ask about their emergency arrangements: many practices share an out-of-hours rota, and you want that number saved, not searched for at midnight. Fear-free or low-stress handling certifications are a good sign for anxious dogs.
