Greece is known for being pet friendly. However, when you are in a new environment, it is not always easy to know where you can get help quickly.

That is why we have compiled a list of veterinarians in popular destinations, so that you know where to turn in case of need.

Why is it important to plan ahead?

When traveling with pets, it is important to have basic information about veterinary services in the place where you are vacationing. Regardless of whether your pet is prone to health problems or you are just a cautious owner, it is recommended that you:

• Research local vets before you arrive. This will save you time and stress in case of a sudden need.
  
• Bring the pet’s health record, as it will be easier for the veterinarian to provide appropriate care with complete information about previous vaccinations, allergies and treatments. Tests and documents that are needed BEFORE leaving for the trip, see detailed description in our text HERE. It is especially important because the titer test needs to be done long before departure.
  
• You bring basic first aid for your pet - antiseptic, bandages and basic medicines recommended by your resident veterinarian at home.
  

In our offer you can find more than 900 accommodations that are pet friendly, i.e. accept pets and choose the appropriate one: ACCOMMODATIONS THAT ACCEPT PETS

How to choose a veterinary clinic?

When seeking veterinary care while on vacation, consider the following:
Proximity: Choose a clinic that is relatively close to your accommodation, so that you can react quickly in case of emergency.
Opening hours: Check the opening hours, as some clinics are open on a reduced basis or closed on weekends. Also, keep in mind that some clinics offer emergency interventions outside of working hours.
Reviews: It is recommended that you search for reviews and recommendations from other pet owners. This can give you a better insight into the quality of the service.

Tips for a safe vacation with a pet

In addition to knowing where the vets are, follow these tips to keep your pet healthy and safe while traveling:

• Avoid the heat: Greece can be extremely hot in the summer, so be sure to provide plenty of shade and water for your pet, especially on the beach.
  
• Check Beach Rules: Some beaches allow pets, but always check local rules and be sure to clean up after your pet.
  
• Use insect repellants: Mosquitoes, ticks and fleas can be problematic, so get the appropriate preparations in advance.
  
• Carry a portable bowl and water: Always have everything you need for hydration, especially during long walks or excursions.
