How we compile listings
PanTrove is a directory. For each business — vet, groomer or boarding — we gather the facts it publishes about itself and show them in one place. We don't grade, score or rank businesses, and we never decide who is “best”.
Where the information comes from
We compile from public sources: the business's own website and its public Google listing. We read the website, list what it publishes, and stamp each page with the date we last updated it. If a business publishes little online, its page simply shows less — that's not a judgement of the business.
What we show
On each profile we surface, when the business publishes it:
The business runs its own website (not just a Google or Facebook page).
The distinct services the business describes on its own site.
The people who work there, when the site names them.
The description the business publishes of who they are and what they do.
When the business says it is open.
Photos published on the listing.
About the Google star rating
We show the Google star rating for reference, but we don't rank by it. A 5.0 from three reviews tells you less than a 4.6 from four hundred — star averages are easy to game and mean different things across businesses. We show it and let you decide.
What this is not
- It is not a quality, medical or safety rating, and not a measure of how good the staff are.
- A business can't pay to appear, to rank higher, or to change what's shown — we list only public information.
- A “not yet reviewed” page just means we haven't read that business's own website yet.
We've read the websites of 5,120 businesses so far, and re-read them regularly. To correct or remove your listing, see contact.
