I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Spörri to anymore. She is a wonderful vet whom I'm lucky to have found through the recommendation of a friend who lives in Zurzach. She keeps on top of recent developments, and is open to new treatments and methods. Fluent in English. <em>Very</em> reasonable rates. | I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Spörri to anymore.

Outfits that care for your pets and home while you're away
- Speedy-Service, Foregasse 4, 5453 Remetschwil, 056 496 65 65, http://www.speedy-service.ch
Frau Priska Baumgartner and Frau Katja Fritzsche take care of our two cats and our apartment (plants, etc) when we're away, and we've been very pleased with their work. They also seem to be familiar with the vets in the region, which provides an extra peace of mind. We recommend them highly. Details of their (geographical) area of service can be found on their website. One potential downside is that they don't speak English. In 2004, the firm was written up in the NZZ http://www.speedy-service.ch/daten/referenzen/zeitungsartikel.php [zc]
Places you can board your pets when you travel
- Zürcher Tierschutz, Zuerichbergstrasse 263, 8044 Zürich, 044 261 97 14, http://www.animal-protection.ch/vereinprojekt/kontakt.html
Mainly an animal shelter for homeless animals, they also board cats and dogs. I have no personal experience with them, although I did visit them once to check out the facility. During my visit, several people came in who appeared to be repeat customers. The people who were on duty were happy to show me the cat kennel areas, and answer my questions as best as they could.

- Cat Hotel , Oberdorfstrasse 15, 8932 Mettmenstetten, 01 767 05 80, http://www.cathotel.ch
We boarded three cats with Frau Maja Spiess soon after arriving in Switzerland from the US. It was a very pleasant experience for us (and for the cats, to some extent). One of the cats required special medical attention and Frau Spiess was able to take care of him very well. [zc]
