Are there good vets in Pattaya?

Yes. Pattaya has a number of veterinary clinics, including modern practices with English-speaking vets used to treating expats' pets. They handle routine care like vaccinations and check-ups as well as surgery and emergencies, and some offer microchipping and the paperwork needed for pet import and export. Care is generally good and more affordable than in many Western countries.

Where can I board or groom my pet in Pattaya?

There are pet hotels and boarding facilities for when you travel, plus grooming salons and pet shops across the city for supplies, food and accessories. Many vet clinics also offer grooming or boarding, or can recommend trusted providers. Booking ahead is wise around busy holiday periods.
