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.

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.
