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.
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.
