How we picked after-hours vets in The Hills District

The order puts clinics that state their own after-hours care first, then those open until 8pm or later on more nights, then Sunday hours, then customer scores weighted by how many customers gave one. Each clinic was judged on what its own pages say about after-hours cover. None of these publishes a licence number, so that did not change the order.
