Boarding & daycare

Boarding data for Los Angeles is blank right now. Ask where locals board theirs -- accommodation hosts and vet clinics give the honest answers -- and tour the place before your dog stays.

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.

• Vaccination proof -- a phone photo is accepted almost everywhere.
• Daily meds plus a two-day buffer.
