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.
