# Sources: Veterinary chain locations: what 7,961 listed sites show
Every source behind the page's figures, one row per source: its public URL, when it was retrieved or checked, whether it is included, the rows it contributed after the stated filters and de-duplication, and the reason for every exclusion. Counts below a dataset's minimum group size are withheld. The figures themselves are aggregates; the methodology gives the exact queries.
