How to Browse on the Marketplace

Filters that matter for finding the right specialist:

  • Species. Canine repro, equine repro, exotic medicine, and small ruminant work are different specialties. Filter to the species first, specialty second.
  • Specialty area. Reproductive medicine, sports medicine, internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, oncology.
  • Board certification. DACT (theriogenology), DACVIM (internal medicine), DACVS (surgery), DACVO (ophthalmology), DACVSMR (sports medicine and rehab).
  • Ambulatory vs. hospital. Equine specialists often come to your barn. Repro and surgical specialists typically work from a hospital with imaging and lab.

What to Look For When Hiring a Specialist

  • Verifiable board certification. DACT, DACVIM, DACVS, and equivalent credentials are issued by the American College of Veterinary Specialists. Verify on AVMA or the relevant specialty college's directory.
  • Volume in your specific case. A repro vet who runs 200 progesterones a year is meaningfully different from one who runs 20. Ask.
  • Referral relationship. Most good specialists work in coordination with your primary vet, not around them. Continuity of records matters.
  • Imaging and lab on-site. For repro and sports medicine specifically, ultrasound, radiograph, and same-day lab work change what's possible during a single visit.
  • Honest scope. Specialists who decline cases outside their area, or who refer to subspecialists when appropriate, are doing the work right.
