Why I started Vet Locator
Hi, I'm Jimmy Ellis, and I love pets. My first pet was a miniature schnauzer named Bo. Today I share my home in Tampa Bay, Florida with Gus, an Exotic Shorthair cat. You can follow his adventures on Instagram at @mrgusthewondercat.
Over the years I've spent a lot of time looking for vets, groomers and boarding for my pets, and it was always hard to get straight answers. What does this usually cost? Who is actually licensed or certified? Am I overpaying? How do I compare one place with another and find the right fit for my pet and my budget?
Vet Locator is what I wish I'd had during all that searching. It puts prices, services, hours and licenses side by side, city by city, so you can see what's typical where you live and choose with confidence.

Where the information comes from
Services, prices, hours and other details come directly from each local pet care business's own website, and we update them monthly. Licenses and certifications are checked against official records. If something looks out of date, businesses can send us a correction.
How to use Vet Locator
- Search your city or ZIP code to see local veterinary clinics on a map and in a list, or use "Use my location" to sort them by distance.
- Filter by what matters to you, such as emergency care, exotic pets, payment plans or Saturday hours, and see who's open now.
- Compare services, prices and opening hours where a business lists them, then call, visit their website or get directions.
What the badges mean
- Credential badges (such as Licensed, Insured, Bonded, Fear Free or AAHA accredited) show credentials the business says it holds.
- Verified badges have been checked against official license or certification records. Each listing shows the license details and a link to look it up with the state.
- Vet License Verified means a veterinary clinic holds a current premises permit from its state veterinary board. It confirms the clinic is licensed, not the quality of its care.
- Compare tables on city pages show the prices and services each business publishes, side by side, with the typical local price for common services. Prices change, so always confirm when you book.
- Featured listings are paid placements and are always labeled. Payment never decides which businesses are listed.
Read our full listing and editorial policy. We don't rate or review businesses. Details can change, so please confirm prices, requirements and availability with the business before you visit.
