Community Guidelines

VeterinaryGuide.com allows visitors to leave reviews and ratings on directory listings, and to submit appointment or claim requests. These guidelines keep that space useful and trustworthy for everyone.

Reviews Must Be Honest and First-Hand

• Only review a veterinary professional or clinic based on your own genuine experience.
• Do not post a review on behalf of someone else, or write multiple reviews for the same visit.
• Do not accept payment or incentives in exchange for a review, positive or negative.

Be Respectful

• No harassment, hate speech, threats, or personal attacks against any professional, clinic, or fellow reviewer.
• Critical feedback is welcome when honest and specific — personal insults are not.

No Spam or Misuse

• Do not use the review or contact forms to advertise unrelated products or services.
• Do not submit false claim requests for a listing that isn’t yours.

Accuracy Matters

Because our directory is built on real licensing data, we take false or defamatory claims in reviews seriously. Reviews making a specific factual claim (e.g., about a license or credential) that contradicts our verified licensing data may be removed.

Enforcement

We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these guidelines. Repeated violations may result in being blocked from submitting further reviews or requests. If you believe a review about your listing violates these guidelines, contact us with details.
