Sourced
Clinic prices
Usually from the practice's own published materials or a recent scrape, then classified so we do not show misleading ranges. Data may be incomplete or out of date between pipeline runs.
Data methodology
How our data works
We combine provider lists, public registers, and enrichment passes. Nothing here is medical advice. Different data types have different freshness and confidence levels.

How we count these figures
"Tracked practices" counts physical veterinary sites we list. The two percentages compare price and coordinate coverage to that same physical set. Total entries in the database (all entity types): 5110.
How we source prices and practice information
Most of what you see comes from public sources — practice websites, published lists, national directories — and our structured pipeline. We store snapshots; refresh timing varies by field and source.
Independent vs unknown
Ownership
From registers, corporate announcements, or upstream directory data. Where we are unsure we label ownership as unknown rather than guessing.
Not always live
Opening hours
Where we have them, they may lag the clinic's own booking page or directory listing. They are not guaranteed live.
Snapshot
Ratings and reviews
Where shown, stars and counts come from stored enrichment in our database — not live queries on every page load. Treat them as a snapshot.
Point-in-time
Prescription comparison
Built from snapshot CSV data imported into the site. Figures are a point-in-time comparison, not live stock or pharmacy prices. Always confirm on the retailer's site before you buy.
When we do not have something, we show the gap honestly instead of guessing. If you spot an error, use Report a correction on a practice profile where that form exists; for other issues see Report incorrect information.
Transparency labels
These labels describe how data entered our system — not clinical quality or official registration status.
Verified
A moderator has added a verification note on the practice record in our system. This is internal provenance only — not an official "verified vet" register.
Scraped
Data came from a recent provider scrape or import (typically fresher than stale directory-only paths). Accuracy still depends on the source.
Inferred
Data came from third-party lists or the scrape is older than 180 days. Treat as directional; confirm with the practice if it matters.
Important caveats
Pricing data is indicative and intended for baseline comparison, not final quoting. Final costs depend on individual clinical needs.
Clinical outcomes and quality of care cannot be assessed solely by price. Higher price does not automatically equate to better care, nor vice versa.
When we do not have something, we show the gap honestly rather than guessing. Prices, ratings, hours, ownership, and prescription data may change over time.
