FAQ
What does Corporate mean?
The practice is linked to a known veterinary group — for example IVC Evidensia, CVS, Medivet, Linnaeus, VetPartners or Vets4Pets. Day-to-day care is still delivered by local clinicians; ownership sits with the group and often a private equity or corporate parent.
What does Independent mean?
We have not linked that practice to IVC, CVS, Medivet, Linnaeus, VetPartners, Vets4Pets or another known group. Most of these are independently owned, but our tagging is incomplete and ownership can change. If you spot an error, email info@vetscompared.com with CheckMyVet in the subject.
Where does the data come from?
CheckMyVet reads ownership fields from the VetsCompared clinic directory. Parent and ultimate-owner labels are curated from public sources and group records where available.
Is CheckMyVet affiliated with any vet group?
No. CheckMyVet is a product of Vets Compared Ltd. We are not affiliated with IVC, CVS, Medivet, Linnaeus, VetPartners, Vets4Pets or any other group.
