Frequently asked questions

How many independent vets are there in Chester?
We list 9 independently owned veterinary practices in Chester — 60% of the 15 practices we cover.
How do you know these vets are independent?
We class a practice as independent when we find no link between it and any corporate veterinary group — checking RCVS records, Companies House filings and the practice’s own website. Where independence rests on the absence of a corporate signal rather than positive confirmation, the practice page says so, and every page links to a correction form.
