Puget Sound Consumers' CHECKBOOK (CHECKBOOK.org) will get your pet the best possible care while saving you trouble, time, and money. It's the independent, non-profit, no-advertising source of ratings and advice on hundreds of types of services you use in your everyday life. See list of services covered.
CHECKBOOK only publishes ratings for a specific firm when an adequate number of ratings of that firm (sample size) is reached. Therefore, not all firms in a given category will appear in CHECKBOOK's ratings tables. |

"One of the best things about CHECKBOOK is how thorough its ratings are. At least 10 people must rate a company before it's included in a survey. Staff members go undercover to get actual pricing information."
"One of the best sources of information for consumers is Puget Sound Consumers' Checkbook magazine. It offers ratings and advice so consumers can get the area's best prices and services."
"Even businesses that don't fare well in the ratings have grudging respect for [CHECKBOOK]’s attention to detail."

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).
