Common questions

You can also read more about us or find out how to become Verified.

What does 'verified' mean on Vet Verified?
A verified practice appears on the public RCVS register, and we have checked the accreditations shown on its listing. Someone at the practice keeps the page up to date. Practices must meet our criteria to earn the mark. They cannot buy it.
Is the directory free for pet owners to use?
Yes. You can search, filter results, view practice information and read reviews for free. You do not need to create an account or download anything.
How are vets ordered in search results?
Verified practices appear above unclaimed listings. We do not sell paid placement or the top position in search results.
How are listings kept accurate?
We check listings against each practice's own website and public sources, including the RCVS register. Verified practices can update their listing when their details change.
I run a vet practice. How do I claim my listing?
Start on the Become Verified page. Verification usually takes 7 to 14 days and does not involve a site visit or surprise inspection.
