Twenty veterinarians were read in this set, and the median one carries 195 Google reviews. The three biggest files in that trade hold 2,261, 568 and 492. Two of the vets answering the most of their recent reviews are Flying Cloud Animal Hospital, which answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 445 reviews, and Village Animal Hospital, at 10 of 10 with 357. Keep the two windows apart when you read those figures: the reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews, while the review totals are the whole listing.
Boarding sits lower on depth. Across the 20 we read, the median business carries 100 reviews and the median rating is 4.8. Pampered Pooch Playground answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 407 reviews; Camp Bow Wow Eden Prairie also answered 10 of 10, with 268.
In pet grooming, the 20 we read have a median of 86.5 reviews, and the three most-reviewed carry 544, 536 and 314. Hound Dog Pet Hotel - East appears among the best repliers in both grooming and boarding, with 9 of its last 10 answered and 236 reviews on the listing. The other grooming business listed, Chuck & Don's Pet Food & Supplies, answered 2 of its last 10 and carries 310 reviews. Those two are the ones answering the most in that trade, so what the rest of the twenty we read do is not something these figures can tell you.
A typical business among the 53 we measured in what a searcher in Chanhassen is shown answered 74% of its recent reviews. That is one figure covering every trade together, not pets on their own. The median rating is 4.85 in grooming and 4.8 in both boarding and vets, and a trade median is a single number for the whole set — it does not tell you which listing is which.
What to do about it
If your listing carries a few hundred reviews, the catching-up job is smaller than the total makes it look. Every reply count on this page comes from a business's most recent reviews, not its whole file: Flying Cloud Animal Hospital's 10 of 10 sits on a listing of 445. So open the newest reviews, work backwards from there, and stop when you are current instead of trying to clear the whole file.
Then treat keeping up as a different job from catching up — one sitting gets you level, and a fixed slot in the week is what holds it. Write the replies yourself, in the words you would use at the counter, and answer the good ones as well as the difficult ones. A median rating of 4.8 is one number for twenty businesses and says nothing about which listing is which, so what you actually write underneath is one of the few parts of the listing that is only yours.
