How do I enter my practice for the awards?
Every vet practice in the UK is already registered to be part of the BestUKVets Awards via their listing on Any-UK-Vet.co.uk and VetHelpDirect.com.
We held the third BestUKVets awards party in June, exclusively for shortlisted practices – and what an afternoon it was! This year, the celebrations moved back to London, where over 150 veterinary professionals gathered to toast the industry’s finest. With bubbles flowing, plenty of glitz and lots of heart, it was another unforgettable day. The 2026 party promises even more sparkle and good cheer – follow us on Instagram for the latest news, including where we’ll be heading next year!

To win an award all you have to do is encourage your clients to leave you reviews on your Any-UK-Vet.co.uk listing or your VetHelpDirect.com listing. Reviews on other platforms, such as Google, don't count towards the BestUKVets awards.
Not at all. It is free to have a listing on both of these sites, if you can't find your practice, please get in touch and we'll get your listing sorted pronto. You can upgrade your VetHelpDirect.com listing to a premium one for loads more features if you wish, please contact us using the form at the bottom of this page to find out more.
The easiest way for clients to find where to leave you a review is to have a widget on your website so you can direct them straight there. All premium listings on VetHelpDirect.com are provided a widget as standard. An email campaign to all clients that have visited recently with a link to your listing is also a great way to get the reviews flooding in. We can give you some help on that, just ask!
The overall winner of BestUKVets wins a party at their practice with an official photographer and plenty of food and cake! Plus an enormous amount of positive exposure in local and national press. All winners receive a pack which includes a certificate, digital assets for your website and social channels, a press pack and more. All winners will also be presented with a framed certificate and/or trophy on stage at the BestUKVets Awards Party.
All winners must have at least 25 reviews in the last 12 months.
The awards run from Feb 10th to Feb 10th at midday. All 4 or 5* reviews received in this period on Any-UK-Vet.co.uk and VetHelpDirect.com will count.
The winners are announced at our awards party in London in June. Time/date/venue TBC. Follow us on Instagram for updates @bestukvets
