We are here on holiday with our two cocker spaniels and we have been warned about processionary caterpillars which are dangerous to dogs. Please can anybody tell me the nearest vet to La Mata -just in case !

There are numerous Vets in the area.
Torrelamata shopping centre...top of the hill ( Mercadona) you will see one on the roadside close to the bank.( Torreblanca area)
Let us hope that you have no need for their service.
Enjoy your holiday.

stay away from any areas with pine trees and the caterpillars are called la processionaria in Spanish (but vets speak English( stay safe and enjoy your holidays oh yes.....they are dangerous to humans as well so whatever you do..don't touch them
