    Advertise your veterinary practice

    A practice page covering every animal you treat, your out-of-hours arrangements and your recruitment, in front of owners at the moment they get a new pet.

    Quick answer

    How can a veterinary practice advertise locally?

    A veterinary subscription on PetTrader is £45 a month or £450 a year and covers a practice page for every animal type you treat, branch details, out-of-hours arrangements, plus free news, event and job credits each year for recruitment. The first 200 trade members to join get their first year completely free.

    What you get

    • A practice page covering every animal type you treat
    • Out-of-hours arrangements, branches and opening times
    • Listed on the vet pages for your town and county
    • One free news post, one free event and one free job advert each year
    • Reaches owners at the point they take on a new pet

    £45 a month or £450 a year — twelve months for the price of ten. Nothing to pay in your first year if you are one of the first 200 trade members.

    The first 200 trade members to join get their whole first year free — there is no charge at all until the 12 months are up, and you can cancel any time before renewal.

    How it works for veterinary practices

    New owners are your new clients

    Almost everyone buying a puppy, kitten or rabbit registers with a practice in the following fortnight. Your page sits on the local pages those buyers are already reading, which is a very different moment to a general business directory.

    Recruitment is included

    Veterinary recruitment is hard and job boards are expensive. A practice subscription includes a free job advert each year on our pet industry jobs board, and further vacancies are charged at a flat rate per 30 days.

    What your profile page shows

    Your business gets its own page: description, photos, the pet types and areas you cover, opening hours, phone, website, prices if you want to publish them, and any licences or registrations you hold. It is indexed by Google in its own right, so people searching for your service in your town can find it directly.

    How long it takes to get listed

    Joining, filling in your contact details and your business details takes around ten minutes on a phone. There is nothing to install and no sales call — you fill the form, claim your free first year and your page is live.

    Common questions

    Can we list several branches?+

    Yes — branch locations and opening hours are part of the practice page, and each area you cover appears on the relevant local pages.

    Can we advertise vacancies?+

    Yes. One vacancy a year is included with the subscription, and additional vacancies are charged per 30-day advert on the jobs board.

    Do I have to pay anything to join right now?+

    No. The first 200 breeders, pet shops, veterinary practices and pet service businesses to join get a completely free first year. You add a card so the subscription continues afterwards, but nothing is taken during those 12 months and you can cancel before renewal.

    Can I cancel?+

    Yes, at any time from your dashboard. Your listing stays live until the end of the period you have paid for (or the end of your free year), and you are not charged again.

    Will my business page show up on Google?+

    Your page has its own web address and is submitted in our sitemap, so it can be found in search on its own — as well as through our directory pages for your service and your area.
