Our goal is to make these reviews as useful and actionable as possible! When reviewing products on Vetcove, please reference the guidelines and review tips listed below.
Review Guidelines:
Be Helpful: Reviews are intended to provide meaningful content to customers about specific products. Remember, this is a community of providers and animal health professionals – feedback or lack of feedback on specific products can materially impact the adoption of such products and therefore the welfare of animals. Please share your thoughts with the community as often as possible so others can leverage your knowledge to provide better care.
Be Honest: In order to preserve the integrity of our reviews, content should be an accurate representation of your experience with this item. Vetcove strictly forbids commercial solicitations or compensation in exchange for positive reviews. We will always provide you an opportunity to explain or revise your reviews when we find issues with content.
Be Relevant: Reviews should focus on the pros and cons of the specific item in question. Reviews focused on companies will not be approved. This means that you should not mention delivery times, poor packaging or expiration dates of products sent by distributors. All discussions not related to specific products should be directed to our Discuss forum.

Remember, reviews will be posted across all items in a given product line, so only post one review for a given product. For example, if you'd like submit a review for the 3M e-collar, you do not need to submit a review for each size of the 3M e-collar that you have purchased, instead your single review will be posted across all sizes of that given 3M e-collar.
