← City overview 🍽️ Restaurants 🌳 Parks & Walks 🚇 Transport 🏖️ Beaches 💡 Local Tips 🏛️ Attractions 🐶 Pet Sitting

There is no veterinary clinic on the Curonian Spit itself. With a permanent population of roughly 2,500, Neringa relies on Klaipeda (mainland, reached by ferry) for all veterinary care including emergencies. The closest options are the Klaipeda Referral Veterinary Hospital (24/7 emergency, the only such facility in western Lithuania) and a network of general practices in Klaipeda along Taikos prospektas, Danes street and Baltijos prospektas. Plan ahead: factor in the ferry crossing (~5 min Old Castle, ~15-30 min wait at New Ferry) when calculating emergency response time.
