Boarding & daycare

No mapped boarding in Riga so far. Your host or a local vet clinic will know who is trustworthy nearby -- visit any kennel in person before booking, especially for a first stay.

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.

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.
