How PawIQ verifies veterinarians

Every vet with a badge on PawIQ has gone through our verification process, so you can trust that the advice you get comes from a real, licensed professional. Here is what that involves.

1. License check

The vet submits their veterinary license, which our team reviews before anything goes live.

2. Credentials review

We confirm their clinic, experience, and area of practice so their profile is accurate.

3. Verified badge

Once approved, they get a 🩺 Verified Vet badge that shows up on every answer they post.

Why talk to a verified vet

When your pet is unwell, it helps to hear from someone who actually knows what they are talking about. A verified vet on PawIQ can help you understand symptoms, weigh your options, and decide whether something needs an in-person visit. It is a great way to get a trustworthy second opinion, often for free.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know a vet on PawIQ is real?

Every vet with a badge has submitted their veterinary license and had their credentials reviewed by our team. The 🩺 Verified Vet badge only appears once that check is complete.

Is it free to talk to a verified vet?

Yes. You can browse verified vets and ask questions in the PawIQ community for free. For hands-on care, you will still need to see a vet in person.

Can I find a vet near me?

Use the filters above to narrow the list by state and city. You can also filter by area of practice, like surgery, dermatology, or emergency care.

Is this a replacement for an in-person vet visit?

No. Verified vets can offer guidance and a second opinion, but anything urgent or hands-on still needs a real appointment. If your pet is in distress, contact an emergency vet right away.
