### "Wish we had stayed with Avimark Program"

March 30, 2021

3.0

It's on the cloud, emailing records and uploading documents are helpful, otherwise it seems to have been a step backwards for your medical record keeping.

Pros

Simply the fact that it's cloud based, is why we switched

Cons

It is very hard to follow and hard to find items you are looking for. It is not organized well, reading the record or following historical entries does not flow well.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Pulse

Cloud based and owner saw the program at a conference. It was a hard sell that she fell for, b/c promises that were made were not true.

### "Excellent customer service and user friendly product"

April 13, 2015

5.0

I was hesitant to use an Veterinary software system from past experience (and frustration) with using AVImark years ago. I remember countless updates that would make my whole reminder system crash and hours I would have to spend to fix it. Ugh. AVImark, never again. However being a mobile Vet, paper files are cumbersome and using a simple word document was not time efficient when it came to updating the file, providing receipts, etc. I read a lot of on-line reviews and decided to contact eVet. The customer service (Mel Heinz) was the deciding factor that made me choose to try eVet before trying other products. She was extremely professional, helpful and courteous. I have been using the product for several months now and it has cut my administration time down significantly due to the ease of being able to update client files from any computer anywhere, automatic receipt generation (which I was previously making out by hand). The automatic client reminders, which I did not have before, have increased client compliance at returning for rechecks in a timely manner and the appointment reminders have reduced/eliminated missed appointments. Overall I am very happy with this system. My only complaint is that for someone new to a Vet software system, there are so many various options in the system and that in itself can be a bit overwhelming at first. However, customer support has always been there immediately to point me in the right direction and now that I am getting the hang of using it, I am extremely happy with the product and love it the ease of it's design. For anyone with a paper system (or a software system that is not fitting your needs), I would highly encourage you to try this program. Great people and a great product. Thank you eVet and thank you Mel Heinz!

### "Turn key and easy to implement"

November 17, 2020

4.0

Realistically I couldn’t imagine a simpler or better solution. It’s reliable and makes dunking the practice so much easier.

Pros

Pricing is fair, features are robust, and it integrates with quickbooks for seamless accounting.

Cons

Interface is not ideal for mobile, integration with payment processors is limited, but really good if you use the supported merchants.

5.0

Pros

I like the product overall. Easy to use, I like the layout.

Cons

Sometimes I don't like the updates to features. I truly DO NOT like the new name and I detest the new sidebar menu. I wish they would make it optional.

June 15, 2021

5.0

Pros

Calendar and treatment estimate that can be converted

Cons

Basic info on patient isn't obvious. Ex: If I want to see what type of prevention the pet is on, I often have to go to "view history" and scroll down.

### "eVet"

March 30, 2021

4.0

I would say good, but those areas I mentioned before are definitely something that our hospital struggles with a lot.

Pros

Very visual, can basically click on anything to get to where you're going

Cons

The lab results section will not let the list go more than 25 results, this causes major issues regularly as we have multiple doctors. This system is not the easiest for making schedule templates. I understand the dymo issue is on their end, but no one has offered any solutions or tips for things to do in the meantime. I solely get the excuse "its on dymo's end"

### "Pro/Cons"

June 10, 2021

3.0

Pros

There are many options/tabs. The color coding is helpful

Cons

Due to the many tabs it sometimes can be confusing. It would be nice to have item number more accessible when invoicing Inventory: a "who got" for an item would be the BEST!

The migration has been a bit challenging but I feel very confident that once things settle, it will be a great system.

Pros

I like the fact that the software is pretty user friendly and somewhat intuitive.

Cons

We just started using the system so we're too new to comment on this yet.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Pulse

### "Superb customer service and a lot of flexibility!"

February 10, 2015

4.0

Our animal hospital transitioned to eVetPractice to take us "paperless" from traditional paper medical records and from Intravet for practice management. There was a steep learning curve for our staff and doctors to go from paper to paperless along with going from Intravet to eVetPractice for the invoicing and reporting. Fortunately, the staff and owners at eVetPractice have made the process as painless as possible. Whenever there is large amounts of data converted from one system to another, there will be some hiccups, but fortunately those were very few with our conversion, and all issues were resolved very quickly and efficiently. Some strengths of eVetPractice include the amazing flexibility of setup for your individual practice, super-responsive customer/technical support, access to records online anywhere, and intuitive medical records. Every time we have asked for a specific functionality, the answer has been affirmative, and a solution has been created for our needs very quickly. The cost of implementing eVetPractice was quite affordable. Our biggest cost was upgrading our computers, network, and internet access to make sure that we didn't have any issues getting online to have access to our cloud-based system. Weaknesses have been few - biggest from my point of view is the lack of "canned" reports that take only 1 or 2 mouse-clicks to generate quickly and conveniently. I would not let that deter anyone from giving eVetPractice a try, because the reporting is very flexible and you can pull out almost any information you are looking for, it just may take a little longer than with some other systems. That reporting functionality is the only reason to not give 5 stars overall. Overall we have been very pleased with our choice of eVetPractice.

### "EVetPractice: step into the future "

January 30, 2019

5.0

Affordable but complete veterinary software. I am so glad I chose this system over others.

Pros

This software doesnt require a huge investment and a huge computer system to maintain a fully functional practice. It is very agile , portable and you can work from anywhere with internet. I also love the extensive client access capability.

Cons

Sometimes updates result in glitches that are challenging to work through.

### "Great Software"

September 20, 2019

5.0

We love this product.

Pros

I love the fact I can finish notes at home or anywhere if I need to. Also love the fact that they support wellness plans and monthly payments for those plans. Easy to use software that you can customize more than I will probably ever do.

Cons

Not anything that I can think of at this time.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Pulse

Their ease and support of wellness plans.

Very helpful customer service.

Pros

I especially like the free trial which allowed me to become accustomed to the program and now I use it for new hires to practice at home. I also especially like that it is cloud based so I can use it anywhere since I am mobile.

Cons

If the internet is bad I have no access to my medical records.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Pulse

### "Clunky"

June 15, 2021

2.0

Would like to see the items above addressed. Other software programs we've used have been much more user friendly. It seems we're always frustrated with eVet.

Pros

I can't think of anything. I'm sorry. :(

Cons

When needing to void a transaction, unable to void JUST the transaction needed. Instead, you need to void all the transactions ABOVE it, then void the transaction you're trying to get to, then reenter the other transactions. That's crazy. No customer support during the hours we need you. We are open daily until 10p PST, and open on the weekends. You're not available. Too many clicks to check patients out.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Pulse

Inherited software with new practice.

Pros

Easy to use, intuitive interface. I have found the software to be very adaptable to mobile and fixed practice settings.

Cons

Some features are farmed out integration with subscription based services (dental charts for example)

Reason for choosing Covetrus Pulse

At the time (2016) there were not many other cloud based options and eVetPractice seemed to be the most fleshed out/complete option.

I enjoy that I can logon from home. Overall, easy to navigate.

Pros

Easy to do invoicing and soaps. Easy to look at records.

Cons

Customer support could be better. We called when ours wasn't working last week and were told there were no issues. About 15 minutes later, there was a warning message popping up. Also wish reports were easier to navigate.

September 23, 2019

Having a dependable cloud based program allows us to work efficiently anywhere. The ability and ease of Covetrus (VFC), Idexx & Antech to easily pair and report directly into evet has been phenomenal.

Pros

We LOVE the portability of the software. Being 100% mobile allows us to be anywhere and use evet.

Cons

The inability to easily change to allow online access to our clients.

September 6, 2019

5.0

It has made my business very efficient and I have less IT hassles than with previous software I have used.

Pros

Extremely Intuitive to use and there are quick videos and instant chat if you can’t figure something out. It is also fantastic that I have access to my medical records whenever I need them on any device.

Cons

I don’t like that I have to do individual estimates for multiple pets in 1 family.

Cloud based was a better option for me and the ease of use and overall functionality.

### "Easy to use, can personalize to your needs and friendly staff!"

March 23, 2017

5.0

I started my own practice 6 months ago and decided to give evetpractice a try after researching different softwares for weeks. I couldn't be happier with their product and attention to detail. I have an exotics only practice and have been able to customize the software to my specific needs. They are always one click, email or phone call away. Have been able to answer all my questions and they keep making monthly updates that make using the software even easier. I can write records from home or assess information from my phone/ipad/laptop anywhere I am. I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking to start a new business or in the process of switching from paper records. It synchs with other softwares and companies, so getting results from labs, registering microchipped pets and even using quickbooks has never been easier. My staff also loves the software and are very thankful for all the paper we save! Great team and great product!

I was really attracted to this software for the ease of us, the screens are very easy to navigate. My new staff catches on in no time.
