Veterinarians
- Dr. vet. med. Lorenz Jöhr, Allmendstrasse 4, 8700 Küsnacht, 01 912 04 04, http://www.joehr.com/
Dr. Jöhr is an attentive and compassionate vet who examines his patients carefully. Fluent in English, member of the American Animal Hospital Association. [zc]
- Dr. vet. med. Verena Spörri, Schlüsselstrasse 35, 5330 Zurzach, 056 269 60 90
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. She is good at explaining what's wrong with the pet, and answers all questions. Fluent in English. Extremely reasonable rates. [zc]
- Dr. med. vet. René Unternährer, Zürcherstrasse 29, 8852 Altendorf (Steuerparadies SZ), +41 55 462 1600
Both vets in the practice speak excellent English, have good interpersonal skills and look after my puppies. They also think that my prime examples of American Staffordshire Terrier are a credit to the breed and think that the proposal to ban breeds is retarded. Hoorah!
Pet supplies
- Aquarium Seerose
Located at Löwenstrasse 3 near the Sihlstrasse tram stop on the 2 or the 9. They will order anything you need that isn't in stock, and will call you once it has come in. No minimum amount to place an order, and no fee for it; it usually takes less than a week for the supplies to come in. [ac]
- Vet Shop, http://www.vet-shop.ch/
Delivers pet food to your door in large quantities. [ac]
- Qualipet, http://www.qualipet.ch/
Has shops all over CH and online shopping. [ns]
- Freesnapf, http://www.gimpet.ch/
Biggest selection I've seen in CH. Unfortunately no online shopping. [ns]
- Happy Animal, http://www.happyanimal.ch/
Independent shop in 8854 Siebnen. Has online shopping with free delivery for more than CHF80.00. I've placed my first order and they've created a tab for me and will bill me on the 15th of every month. Good service. [ns]
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, Zürichbergstrasse 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. [zc]
- 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]
