VetLocator is unlike any other directory on the web. It was designed to be very fast and simple to use, providing pet owners with easy access to the services and information they are looking for. As a result, it is the fastest growing pet professional directory online today!
  • Q. How is VetLocator.com different than other Vet directories?

    A. Glad you asked. VetLocator was created out of frustration at what pet resources were available to pet owner using the web. We designed VetLocator.com to be different than other directories. You will find when you use VetLocator.com, that it is extremely user friendly for both pet owners and pet professionals.. Plus we offer ALL pet professionals a free listing in our directory. As a result we are becoming the fastest growing pet services directory on the web.

  • Q. Do you have to be a Veterinarian to be included in the directory?

    A. No, but you do need to be a pet professional. Our site works this way: Our Vet Quick Search and Advanced Search return ONLY Veterinarians that meet the search criteria entered. To have your listing show up in those searches, you must have a degree as a veterinarian. Our 'Holistic and Alternative' search returns both Veterinarians and other pet professionals whose services fall under those categories. If the pet professional holds a degree or a certification, it is indicated in the directory listing, Chiropractors would be listed under 'Holistic and Alternative' searches. Other pet professionals including trainers, pet sitters, and kennels are located under the 'Other Pet Professionals' search tab.

  • Q. I have not registered, yet I see a listing for my practice in your directory. Do I still need to register?

    A. Yes. Your listing was in our original database. You need to register and create your clinic profile and verify that the information we have for you is correct. Registration is Simple, Fast and Easy. Just click HERE to begin.

  • Q. How do people find VetLocator.com?

    A. Besides being found on search engines everywhere, VetLocator.com participates in several advertising campaigns with results appearing on Google, MSN, Yahoo, AOL and many others. We also have pet sites world wide linking to us to provide their members with our superior Pet Professionals Directory.

  • Q. I have more than 1 practice location. Do I have to register for each location?

    A. Yes, you will need to register each location separately. The primary way to locate pet professionals on VetLocator is by zip code so each location should have a separate listing.

  • Q. How do I list more than one doctor for my practice?

    A. When you register your practice, you will see a section for other doctors or professionals who work with your practice. You would click on that link to fill out information for each additional pet professional. We have limited 4 additional professionals per listing. If you have more you would like to have displayed with your listing, please contact us with your request.

  • Q. Is there really no charge for being in your directory?

    A. Yes there really is no charge for our free listings. VetLocator has three types of listings in its directory. Our free listing displays basic clinic information including name, address and phone. Our Silver listing displays more information about the practice including specialties, location, phone and email. It always appears before free listings. Our Gold listing always appears before the other two types of listings, and has all of the premium features including enhanced reporting features, multiple images, top of page listing and a separate banner ad that appears in other locations within the website.

  • Q. My practice does not use the web much and we only target customers in our neighborhood. Does it still make sense to register?

    A. The answer is yes, for many reasons. The whole idea behind VetLocator is to allow pet owners to find LOCAL pet professionals that fit their needs. Even if your clinic or service does not do much with the web, people looking for your service will be, and your listing will have your address and phone so they can contact you directly, and, if you've signed up for an enhanced listing, they can easily see if what you offer meets their needs.

  • Q. I see that some listings have testimonials and they look great. How does that work?

    A. Testimonials are a great addition to your directory listing. This feature is included in our premium directory listing package and is very easy for both the pet owner and the clinic staff to use when adding a new testimonial to their VetLocator.com listing. To see what is included with each type of directory listing on VetLocator.com, click HERE.

  • Q. I am not sure whether the services I provide would be listed under Holistic and Alternative directory or the Other Pet Professionals directory. What do I do?

    A. You do not need to worry about that. When you sign up, our registration form guides you through selecting which services you have available and we have catagorized those to only come up under certain searches. If you provide one of the services you can indicate that and people looking for that service can find you easily.

  • Q. Anything more I need to know?

    A. We'd suggest signing up for at least one of our newsletters, Vets-n-Pets-n-Stuff or Health Tips For Pet Owners. They are both excellent and each offers good information for pet owners. We are always looking for contributing articles for the newsletters and would be happy to supply you with our editorial calendar for upcoming issues.
