Help UK pet owners get it right

Join the voluntary PETHEALTH+ review panel. Registered vets and RVNs check our guides in their field, so the owners who read them before calling you arrive better informed.

Quick answer

RCVS-registered vets and veterinary nurses can volunteer to review guides in their field. We check your register entry, send you guides that match your experience, and make every correction you ask for. Your name appears only on the versions you approve, with the date.

Three ways to take part

  • MRCVS vets and RVNs

    Clinical reviewer

    Review guides in your species or specialism against current evidence and UK practice. Flag errors, suggest updates and sign off the version you have checked. Most reviewers take on two to four guides a month; you can decline any guide.

    Named “Clinically reviewed by” credit with the review date, and a verified reviewer profile.

  • Vets, RVNs and specialists

    Expert contributor

    Answer owner questions, add a short expert comment to a guide, or co-write a guide in your field. Contributions are attributed to you by name, with your practice if you wish.

    Attributed quotes and author credit, linked to your reviewer profile.

  • Practice owners and managers

    Practice spotlight

    Claim your free directory listing to correct details, publish opening hours and fees, and tell owners about your team and facilities.

    An accurate, claimed listing. Paid visibility is optional and always labelled.

Practice spotlight uses the existing free listing claim.

How it works

  1. Apply by email with your registration details and areas of interest.
  2. We check the RCVS register and your declaration of interests, then agree the guides you would like to review.
  3. You review in your own time: approve, correct, or decline.
  4. We publish your corrections with a “Clinically reviewed by” credit and date on that version only.
  5. Stay current: when a reviewed guide changes substantially, we ask you to re-review before your credit stays.

  • Declared interests appear on each reviewer's public profile.
  • You can withdraw your name from any guide, or leave the panel, at any time.
  • Read our editorial policy and how we make money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the review panel paid?
No. The panel is voluntary. Reviewers receive named credit on the guides they review and a public reviewer profile, and can stop at any time. Nobody pays to join, and joining does not change a practice's position in the directory.
Who can join?
Veterinary surgeons and registered veterinary nurses currently on the RCVS register and practising in the UK. We check every applicant's register entry before listing them, and ask for a short declaration of interests such as employer group or industry sponsorship.
What does a clinical review involve?
You read a guide in your area, check its advice against current evidence and UK practice, and send corrections or approve it. We make every correction you request before your name appears, and a guide only shows your credit for the version you approved, with the date.
Do reviewers endorse products or the directory?
No. Reviewers approve clinical accuracy only. Affiliate links, paid listings and commercial partners are handled separately by the editorial team, and reviewers can ask for their name to be removed from any page at any time.
How many guides are there to review?
There are 276 guides covering dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small pets, horses and farm animals, with emergency and poisoning guides reviewed first.

When it can’t wait, call your vet. Breathing difficulty, collapse or suspected poisoning need urgent advice.
