Quality pet care available (vets & kennels)?

We take our dog to a local English speaking vet and he has been great. We found Ukrainians either absolutely love or hate pets. There is really no middle ground. Also be careful of stray dogs. We had a pack attack our dog when we went for a stroll in the park. Since then measures have been put in place to minimize this, but it still happens. - Apr 2013


There are good and cheap. - Apr 2013


A few good vets, and a good kennel in the suburbs. - Feb 2013


A few vets that people seemed happy with. Not sure about kennels. - Jul 2012


Good vets, some that will even come to your house. We've never used a kennel though. - Aug 2009


Look at the Women's club book, there are lots of them available. My advice would be to ask somebody you know who has a pet who they use. Housecalls are available. - Apr 2008


Vets are great, kennels virtually non existent. Embassy families have their housekeepers watch pets or swap with other families when they are gone. - Apr 2008


There are several good vets locally and a few speak English. The quality is pretty good and cheap. We had our puppy spayed here and had no problems. Many people leave their pets with others when they travel, but there is at least one kennel here and it seems decent. - Feb 2008
