What we set out to measure

Where can an owner get a pet seen, and what happens after hours?

Every veterinary practice below comes from public licensing and business records, counted whether or not it appears in this site’s directory. The findings are what the numbers came back with, not a view we formed first and then looked for support for.

Veterinary practices with a website: 86%

That is 44 points above the 42% typical of the 32 markets we measure nationwide.

  • All other markets we measure (71)11.1

Veterinary practices counted here divided by the town's own population, expressed per 100,000 residents. Veterinary practices are counted where they sit, and people routinely drive to the next town, so a town centre surrounded by suburbs reads high and the suburbs read low. Read it as how concentrated veterinary practices are in this town, not how easy it is for residents to be seen.

Open past 6pm on a weekday: 17%

That is 6 points below the 24% typical of the 4 markets we measure nationwide.

What this does not tell you

  • A count of practices is not a count of open appointments, and nothing here says whether a clinic is taking new patients this week.
  • After-hours figures read published hours. A clinic that handles emergencies by phone without posting the hours will not show up in them.
  • Animals treated and services offered come from what a practice says about itself. A blank usually means it was never stated, not that the care is unavailable.
