Vets

No veterinary clinic is mapped in Boston yet. Before traveling with a dog, find the nearest 24-hour emergency vet in the closest larger town and save the number.

Boarding & daycare

No boarding kennels are mapped in Boston yet. Ask your accommodation host for a local recommendation, and always visit first before leaving your dog.

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.

The travel file for your dog

Vaccination proof -- a phone photo is accepted almost everywhere.

The local animal poison-control number, saved before you need it.

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.
