Every fact carries a source and a date.

If you are going to make a decision on this data, it helps to see how it got here.

  • Where it comes from Public records, state veterinary licensing boards, corporate locators, practice websites, and direct verification. Everything arrives with its evidence attached.
  • How often it moves We verify everything weekly. Licences refresh on a rolling sweep across 49 jurisdictions. About ~430 verified changes are logged every day.
  • When something changes The old value stays on the record. You see what it was, when it moved, and what told us. 40,564 changes logged so far.
  • When we do not know The field stays empty. We would rather leave a gap than model a number and call it a fact.
