What are the Best UK Vets awards?
Every year, VetHelpDirect names the Best UK Vet based on verified customer reviews. We take all of the 4 and 5-star reviews, over a 12 month period from February, and the individual practice with the most is crowned the winner.
All reviews are moderated by our team and validated by the vets.
How can you get involved?
It’s remarkably simple. If you’ve visited your vet recently (within 3 months) and have enjoyed a positive experience, leave a review. Of course, honesty is extremely important. Our reviews are here to help pet owners to get the care they need and vet practices to improve their service. So we welcome fair reviews at all levels, but only those of 4 stars and above will count towards the award.
To find your vet, use the search at the head of each page or visit our Vets Near Me page.
Are there other categories?
Along with an overall winner, we also have a number of categories, including;
- Best Equine Vet
- Best Small Practice (fewer than 5 vets)
- Best Mobile Vet
- Best New Start-Up
- Best Vet by Region
Again, the most positive reviews (minimum of 25 over the year) wins in each category, so support your vet by sharing your experience.
Share your experience of those vets who have gone above and beyond
Sometimes a review doesn’t go far enough. 5 stars is great, but what about those vets who truly go above and beyond?
For this, we need your help. Share your story about a practice, team or individual vet that has really delivered this year. We think it’s important to highlight the fantastic work that vets do, so each year we’ll recognise those that truly do more.
Nominate your vet, with any pictures, at bestukvet@vethelpdirect.com. Please also indicate if you would be happy for us to use these images/stories on our blog and social channels. Your privacy is also important to us.
