About petsbooking

petsbooking is a UK-focused information service for cat and dog owners. We bring together welfare news, health guidance, and a directory of useful organisations in one place — so you don't have to hunt across a dozen sites to find what matters.

We also run a free Community Board where owners and people willing to help out with pet care while someone is away can find each other and arrange things directly.

Important: health information disclaimer

The health guidance published on petsbooking — including our Home Care Guide — is intended for general educational purposes only. It does not constitute professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Every animal is different, and what appears to be a minor issue can sometimes indicate a more serious underlying condition.

We strongly encourage all pet owners to consult a qualified, registered veterinary surgeon for any health concern relating to their animal. If you are ever in doubt about your pet's wellbeing, please contact your vet or an emergency veterinary service without delay. petsbooking accepts no liability for any action taken or not taken based on information published on this site.

What we are not

We don't run a booking agency or take a booking commission — when you book a vet through petsbooking, you're connecting directly with that clinic's own booking system. We're also not a pet-sitting agency, or a party to any arrangement made via our Community Board. We don't vet, licence-check, or guarantee anyone who posts there — that responsibility sits with the people involved. See our Terms for the full detail.

How we handle news content

Every story we cover is summarised in our own words, in 2–3 sentences, with a clear link back to the original publisher. We never reproduce full articles. If you're a publisher and have a concern about how we've covered your content, please get in touch.
