## Reviews

### "Best bang for the buck" — 4.0/5

> **Lisa** | *September 24, 2019* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the cloud based accessibility\! I also love being almost completely paperless. &#10;Integrated ordering thru MWI and rep is a a time saver.&#10;Easy to modify templates for email communications, practice documents, and SOAP notes.&#10;Payment processing integration helps streamline the check-out processs and eliminate manual entry errors. &#10;QBO integration is a plus.&#10;The cost compared to competitors was a big factor in my decision - value for the money.
> 
> **Cons**: Initial inventory setup was a bit painful and I ended up needing to back track to correct some errors due to some lack of information in initial training.
> 
> Probabaly the thing that has been the very most valuable is the ability to live chat with customer support.  I also appreciate the no-fine-print subscription fees.

### "Practice Manager" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *February 17, 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy system to learn and maneuver. Creating packages and procedure was easy and helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel that client campaigns (SMS, email and post card) could be better as far as formatting and ease of use. I was told that I could not do text campaigns through Pulse and had to use Rapport. Rapport and Pulse don't syce well.
> 
> Overall it has been positive. Would like more out of the client campaigns.

### "Not Satisfied" — 1.0/5

> **Kathy** | *February 15, 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The only thing I did like, when Covetrus took over from evetpractice, is that the system colored male patients blue and female patients pink on their medical records.  I can’t think of anything else Covetrus has done right though.
> 
> **Cons**: I dislike the updates.  Your software is more engineered for lap top or desk top computers and 95% of my work on done on an iPad.  Each update you do makes more work for me to run my business.  You do not keep in mind that not all your customers use a lap top or desk computer to run their business.&#10; Also, I do not appreciate the price increases since Covetrus bought the software from evetpractice.  The latest increase is unacceptable.  You did offer to keep my current rate fixed “if” I upgraded to the VetSuite.  I really do not appreciate being blackmailed into an upgrade.  If you really believed in your product, you would not have made the upgrade contingent upon pricing.  At this time, I have Covetrus as my software provider, I order veterinary products through Covetrus and I have Covetrus as my online pharmacy.  Given that Covetrus seems to think blackmail is an acceptable avenue to get what they want, I would think that they would appreciate my response to their VetSuite Update offer.  As of this moment, I will no longer be ordering from Covetrus as my distributor.  Moreover, I will be changing my online pharmacy and utilizing another company.  I am a small business and suspect my actions will not affect an enormous company such as Covetrus, but it will allow me to sleep better at night….what about you??
> 
> Have not liked the software since Covetrus purchased it from evetpractice.  Evetpractice was more concerned about its customers and Covetrus is more concerns about money\!

### "Great Integration\!" — 4.0/5

> **Jamee** | *February 14, 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integration, all information easily accessible
> 
> **Cons**: Inventory, reports, not as customizable as I would like
> 
> Any switch of PMS is stressful but training was helpful. Could have used better in person on day live date. Our data took almost a week to fully transfer which was a problem. I look forward to future updates and continued improvement

### "Evet Pulse" — 5.0/5

> **Sam** | *March 9, 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: client search is easy to use and brings up our clients faster than other softwares
> 
> **Cons**: no mobile app for clinics which is a little bit of a hassle when our clinics are closed
> 
> overall we enjoy it and would love to see more features added

That removes the burden of on-site servers, improves resilience, and supports hybrid or mobile workflows. \n\n• Treatment Board &amp; Visual Workflow: Offers real-time patient status tracking, treatment planning, and resource scheduling in a visually organized layout. Visual alerts help staff quickly see what needs attention, to maintain momentum through each patient’s visit.\n\n• Comprehensive Integration Ecosystem: It supports over 250 third-party integrations, including labs, diagnostics, payment systems, insurance, bookkeeping, and inventory management. This means you can use familiar tools or incorporate specialized apps without switching platforms.\n\nBenefits:\n\n• Streamlined workflows – built-in integrations for seamless practice management, all in one place and accessible anywhere, anytime.\n\n• Staff Efficiency – Manage prescriptions, payments, diagnostics, and more within a single system.\n\n• Enhance client loyalty – Covetrus Comms integration streamlines client communications with online scheduling, automated reminders, texting, and more.\n\n• Built for the future of your practice – Pulse is highly customizable to fit the way your practice operates.
