Frequently asked questions
- How many independent vets are there in Southampton?
- We list 8 independently owned veterinary practices in Southampton, or 20% of the 40 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.
