About AnimalHospitalClinic.com

Why pet owners trust us

We have been connecting pet owners with quality veterinary care since 2007. In that time, a lot has changed about how people find information online. Our standards have not.

Every health article on this site is written or reviewed by a licensed veterinarian. Every directory listing is manually verified. Every editorial decision is made independently of our commercial relationships. We believe that when an animal's health is at stake, honesty is the only option.

Over two million pet owners use our directory and editorial content every year. We take that responsibility seriously β€” which is why we publish our editorial standards, name every author, and correct every error transparently.

Expert authorship

Every health article written or reviewed by a board-certified DVM. Named authors, full credentials, full bios.

Evidence-based

Clinical claims referenced against peer-reviewed veterinary literature. We cite our sources. Always.

Verified directory

28,990 listings verified by phone and cross-referenced with state licensing boards. Reviewed regularly.

Editorial independence

Editorial and commercial teams are separate. No advertiser influences what we publish or how we cover it.

Common questions

Questions pet owners ask us

Yes. Every health and medical article on AnimalHospitalClinic.com is written by, or reviewed by, a licensed veterinarian β€” typically a board-certified specialist in the relevant discipline. We never publish anonymous health content, and we clearly display each author's name, credentials, and biography. You can read our full editorial policy for details.
No β€” and we want to be clear about that. Our content is educational, not diagnostic. Reading an article about diabetes does not tell you whether your dog has diabetes. Only a veterinarian who has examined your pet can do that. We aim to help you recognise when to seek care, understand what you're told at the clinic, and make informed decisions β€” but we are never a substitute for professional veterinary consultation.
Our verification process includes direct telephone confirmation of address, hours, and services; cross-referencing with state veterinary licensing board records; and review of the clinic's own website. Listings are flagged for re-verification when our monitoring detects potential changes. We also act on reader-reported inaccuracies, which can be submitted via any listing page.
We do display advertising, primarily through Google AdSense and select direct partnerships. However, our editorial content is produced entirely independently of our commercial relationships. Advertisers do not influence what topics we cover, how we cover them, or how any clinic or product is described in our articles. Our editorial team and commercial team are separate. If you believe this is not the case for a specific article, please contact us β€” we take this seriously.
Clinic owners and practice managers can submit a new listing or claim an existing one via our Add a Listing page. We verify all submissions before they go live. For corrections to an existing listing, please use our Contact page and select "Report an incorrect directory listing."
Please do not wait to read articles. Contact a veterinarian immediately. If your regular vet is unavailable, use our emergency veterinary directory to find a 24-hour clinic near you. If you believe your pet has been poisoned, you can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 (consultation fee may apply).
