# Vetlas

> Vetlas (https://vetlas.thatvetguy.net) is a decision-support tool that helps pet owners in
> India select veterinary care based on attributed, trustworthy data. It is NOT a directory and
> NOT an ad platform: providers cannot pay for rankings or to hide reviews. Every fact carries a
> trust label; nothing is fabricated. The site is currently in beta and all provider data is
> clearly-marked SAMPLE content, not verified real-world listings.
