Creating Your LocalVet Account

Last updated March 23, 2026

Getting Started With Your Account

Creating a LocalVet account takes less than two minutes and gives you access to features like saving favourite clinics, leaving reviews, and managing your business listing.

How to Sign Up

  1. Click the Sign Up button in the top-right corner of any page.
  2. Choose your account type: Pet Owner or Business Owner.
  3. Enter your email address and create a secure password, or sign up using your Google account for one-click access.
  4. Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link.
  5. Complete your profile by adding your name and location.

Account Types

When you register, you will choose one of two account types:

  • Pet Owner accounts let you save favourite vets, write reviews, and manage your profile.
  • Business Owner accounts include everything above plus the ability to claim and manage a veterinary listing.

You can switch your account type later from your account settings if your needs change.

Tips for a Smooth Sign-Up

  • Use an email address you check regularly — we will send important notifications there.
  • Choose a password with at least 8 characters, including a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • If you are a business owner, have your clinic name and postcode ready so you can claim your listing immediately after signing up.

Trouble Signing Up?

If you do not receive the verification email, check your spam or junk folder. You can also request a new verification email from the sign-in page. If problems persist, contact our support team through the help centre and we will get you sorted.
