How to choose the right veterinary software for your practice
Hi there! Trying to decide which practice management software is right for you?
We've put together this no-nonsense overview to help you make an informed decision between ezyVet and Covetrus Pulse. Get the facts, compare key features, and see why thousands of practices choose ezyVet to power their business.
ezyVet and Covetrus Pulse are popular practice management systems. Both platforms are more than capable of handling the basics of running a veterinary practice, including appointment scheduling, patient record management, billing, and more.
They’re also both cloud-based solutions, which means you can access them remotely from any device with an internet connection - great for teams that want more flexibility than a classic server-based system.
In terms of features, there are clearly a lot of similarities between the two products. However, there are also some notable differences that can have a big impact on how you work.
Understanding these differences is key to choosing the best veterinary software for your practice.

How is ezyVet different from Covetrus Pulse?
If you’re just getting started and you’re looking for a simple platform to work with, Pulse is great! But if you plan on growing into a bigger practice, or you need deeper customization options, there’s a good chance that ezyVet could be the better fit. Here's why.
Scalable performance
Don’t let your software slow you down. ezyVet delivers consistently fast performance, whether you’re a single-location clinic or a multi-site hospital. Enjoy a crisp, stutter-free experience - even during peak hours.
Expert in-house support
Round-the-clock support via email, phone, and chat means expert help is always available when you need it. In-person training and comprehensive self-help resources make for a seamless onboarding experience.
Automatically integrated diagnostics
Send and receive diagnostic requests, automatically capture charges, and get full visibility of diagnostic results inside ezyVet. Get easy access to the data you need to support your clinical decisions and client conversations.
Task automation
Some days it just feels like you're doing the same things over and over again. We're big on automating the repetitive stuff, so you can focus on more meaningful work.
One thing that sets ezyVet apart is its ability to combine multiple tasks into a single step. For example, the information you use to fill out a patient’s clinical record automatically cascades across eight other tasks, automatically completing diagnostic requests, preventive care fulfillment, invoicing, inventory deductions, medication labels, take-home instructions, client communication tasks, and more.
Customization options
People like Pulse because it’s simple and has a clean UI. But what if the standard layout isn’t quite the right fit for your practice?
One thing that ezyVet users particularly love is the ability to customize the Clinical record based on the client’s appointment type. Instead of seeing a long list of every possible clinical field, you can configure the Clinical record so that your team only sees the relevant sections for that specific appointment.
It’s a faster, more focused way of doing appointments.
“Honestly, ezyVet has the best customer service I have ever come across.”
