NATIONAL OVERVIEW
Rightvet tracks 4,374 vet practices across the UK, grouped by town so you can compare prices, ownership and reviews wherever you are. Around 60% of UK practices are part of larger veterinary groups. The rest are independently owned by the vets who work there.
Vet prices are not uniform. A consultation in central London typically costs more than one in a market town. Rightvet shows you what practices in your specific area charge, where they publish prices, so you can make an informed choice before you book.

What to look for in a local vet
Pricing transparency. Around 1 in 4 UK practices still do not publish prices online. Those that do make it easier to budget before your visit. Rightvet shows which practices in your area publish full, partial, or no pricing.
Ownership. Around 60% of UK practices are now part of larger veterinary groups. Some kept their original names after being acquired. Rightvet shows you who owns every practice, so you know whether you are visiting an independent or a branch of a larger chain.
Reviews. Google ratings give a signal but need context. A practice with 200 reviews at 4.5 is usually more informative than one with 3 reviews at 5.0. Rightvet shows the review count alongside the rating.
Emergency cover. Not all practices have their own out-of-hours service. Some refer you to a separate emergency clinic, which may charge differently. Check before you register.

Are independent vets better than group vets?
Rightvet does not rank independent versus group practices. Both can have excellent reviews and fair prices. What matters is what the data shows for each individual practice. Rightvet gives you the ownership information, prices and reviews so you can decide what matters to you.
What is the difference between a vet and an emergency vet?
A standard vet practice sees your pet during normal hours. An out-of-hours emergency vet is open evenings, weekends and bank holidays for urgent cases. Some practices have their own out-of-hours cover; others refer to a separate emergency clinic. Rightvet shows which practices offer their own emergency cover.
