> **Sandra B** | *July 5, 2019* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of customization, particularly for our holistic practice.  We can easily add procedures such as acupuncture and chiropractic. The company also was great when we initially signed up for this software, adding wellness plans and doing other custom things to help streamline our  processes.  Also like that it's in the cloud so we don't have to do our own backups and can access anywhere.
> 
> **Cons**: Still some things I'd like to see in terms of financial analysis that align with AAHA figures to make it easier to compare to other practices (reports).  Also wish there was an easier way to schedule appointments when we're using cell phones out of the office.
> 
> This has been very functional for us and the price is excellent.

Its real-time Whiteboard gives teams a clear view of where each patient is in the visit workflow, helping doctors, technicians, and front-desk staff stay coordinated and keep the clinic moving efficiently.\n\nA standout capability is built-in AI Ambient Listening. During an exam, Onward Vet can listen to the conversation between the veterinary team and pet owner and automatically generate a structured SOAP note. This helps reduce documentation time and after-hours charting so veterinarians can focus more fully on patients and clients.\n\nAI capabilities extend beyond ambient listening. Veterinarians can dictate directly into individual medical-record sections, generate patient summaries for faster review of medical histories, and use the AI Medication Assistant for medication-related support. SOAP workflows are flexible, allowing practices to use templates, dictate into specific sections, review AI-generated notes, and toggle between concise and detailed AI output.\n\nEstimate management is built into the platform. Practices can create detailed estimates, maintain multiple draft versions, manage line-item authorizations, capture electronic signatures, and send estimates to clients for review and approval. Finalized estimates can then flow directly into the visit workflow, helping reduce duplicate data entry.\n\nClient communication tools include integrated SMS, automated reminders, and online appointment booking through the client portal. Onward Vet also supports laboratory and imaging workflows and integrates with leading veterinary technologies and services, including IDEXX, Zoetis, Vetcove, payment providers, imaging platforms, and other veterinary technology partners.\n\nInventory management helps practices track products, medications, and supplies, while reporting tools provide visibility into operations, revenue, client activity, and overall practice performance. Hospitalized patient treatment flowsheets help doctors and technicians organize treatments, medications, and patient status while maintaining continuity of care.\n\nOnward Vet is designed for both independent veterinary practices and multi-location hospital groups. Multi-location organizations gain centralized visibility across their hospitals while individual locations can maintain their own workflows, configurations, schedules, and operational preferences.\n\nBecause Onward Vet is cloud-based, authorized users can securely access the system without being tied to a local server, supporting multi-site management and remote administrative access.\n\nBacked by more than a decade of veterinary software experience, Onward Vet combines comprehensive end-to-end functionality, intuitive workflows, modern AI tools, flexible integrations, and hands-on, responsive customer support. The result is a platform built to run the whole clinic, from the front desk to the exam room to the business office, while helping veterinary teams reduce administrative burden and devote more time to delivering excellent patient care.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/a3493b16-0930-4990-99ff-b68d766b9e11.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/120795/onward-vet","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/120795/onward-vet#software","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":28,"ratingValue":5.0},"offers":{"price":"300","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/120795/onward-vet#breadcrumblist","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Veterinary Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/77/veterinary/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Onward Vet","position":3,"item":"/software/120795/onward-vet","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
