Frequently asked questions

- We list 3 independently owned veterinary practices in Portsmouth, or 17% of the 18 practices we cover.
- How do you know these vets are independent?
- We check RCVS records, Companies House filings and the practice’s own website, and class a practice as independent when we find no link between it and any corporate veterinary group. 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.
