Pet Store Chains in Sweden
Arken Zoo is Sweden's dominant pet store chain, found in most larger towns, while Granngården's rural and farm-supply stores are a reliable second option outside cities.
Pharmacies & Tick Prevention
Basic tick-prevention treatments for pets are sold over the counter at an ordinary Swedish pharmacy (apotek), with no prescription needed for most of them.
Prescription Pet Food & Medicines
A specific prescription diet or medication from home isn't guaranteed to have an exact equivalent in Sweden, so bringing enough supply, plus the prescription itself, is the safer plan.
