### "A cost-effective and user-friendly system "

February 23, 2026

4.0

I've recommended the software to other mobile providers because I very much value its efficiency and lower cost than "bigger" software programs. It's been appropriate for a single-doctor practice.

Pros

As the sole DVM and owner of a busy mobile Practice, who is NOT an IT expert by any means, I wanted software that was basic and user-friendly. Navigating the system is quite easy. I love that all data is quickly automatically saved; there is no requirement to click "save" a thousand times a day. It's also very easy to block off times when I'm unavailable and if an error is made, it's a forgiving system that will allow changes to be made. Communication with clients such as sending invoices and patient forms such as consent forms is very simple and you can edit the templates that you use for these functions. I also loved the controlled drug log so that you don't have to keep track of controlled drug usage manually. All you have to do is designate a medication as controlled when you add it to your inventory.

Cons

No system is perfect, but as a more "basic" system, there are a few functions that I wish it had. As far as I can tell, there is no function to search for a certain product or word within a patient file which would be a real time saver. For example, for a pet I've seen multiple times, if I want to hone in on the discussion I had with the client about, for example, starting Gabapentin, It would super helpful to be able to search the patient's file for that search term. I also wish that there was a way to easily add vaccinations given by a prior facility to keep a record of them without building an invoice. I figured out a way to get around this by adding all the vaccines and important preventive care items to my inventory as $0 items that are specified to be "for record-keeping purposes only", but it's a roundabout way of achieving this.

### "Workflow Issues"

February 26, 2026

5.0

Satisfied, but would like to see more enhancements being added for general workflow with regard to veterinary charting

Pros

Customer support is very prompt. Feedback is provided, follow up is also provided and general questions addressed.

Cons

Limited features with workflow, no ability to incorporate body diagrams for marking abnormalities. Enhancements to make workflow easier are still under review such as being able to separate and identify records in two departments (boarding/veterinary) with higher search options included.

### "Best veterinary software out there!"

January 8, 2026

5.0

They have the best service I have seen hands down and it always operates smoothly. They do provide updates and improvements, many that I don't get to use to their full capacity based on the unique nature of my practice (relief mostly, but also large animal ambulatory, and small animal acupuncture ambulatory). It has everything I need and more, I have been happy with it and continue to be.

Pros

I refer any and all to Daysmart Vet! I am a relief doctor and work with several cloud based and computer based software and Daysmart beats them all. It is the most versatile and easiest to function. I love how you can click on patient, client, invoice, SOAP, etc from most anywhere so it has been the easiest to move throughout the system and find what you need. It attaches everything I need easily and thoroughly.

Cons

Truly nothing. Only thing I might make easier is for the medical records to automatically be attached to the medical note for that day they are present, It makes things easier to follow when reviewing the note later rather than having to jump back into the invoice to see what they were charged for etc. Only other thing I have struggled with is clients with gmail accounts having issues getting emails from the Daysmart. I think that is improving some but I do still have to tell them about it all the time.

### "User since 2018"

February 9, 2026

5.0

Very happy with this software and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any practice looking to go paperless.

Pros

The software is always evolving based on user feedback. My team always loves seeing the added features when an update happens. Customer support has been top-notch since day one. When I opened a second practice, I was really pleased that the software could handle multiple locations.

Cons

There are a few features that require a few extra clicks to use. I wish the weight vital was hyperlinked to quickly trend.

### "Building a mobile clinic with DaySmart as the backbone"

February 25, 2026

5.0

Pros

With starting a mobile clinic, I am building an entire practice. The onboarding process has been incredibly easy and painless. The technical support team has been fantastic about responding to my questions and helping me with the integrations. And the PetCare App is making it very easy to allow clients to add their animals, which decreases my administrative load. Additionally, the features included with the subscription made it so the other vet softwares couldn't even compete for the price.

Cons

The forms are easy for the clients to use, but they still require manual entry on the backend once completed.

### "Great veterinary practice management program"

February 11, 2026

5.0

We switched to DaySmart a few years ago when it was still called Vetter. The program we had before was awful, so the switch overall has been very positive. I just started using their built in AI scribe and had an issue with it, but the support team was very responsive and had the problem fixed pretty quickly.

Pros

The flow of the program is very intuitive, there are multiple ways to do just about anything, so it is very easy to learn.

Cons

Honestly, compared to the program we used before, I haven't found much to dislike. Any issues that we have had have been resolved relatively quickly by the support team

### "Grateful for DaySmart Vet"

October 23, 2025

5.0

It is always a pleasure to speak with \[sensitive content hidden\], I truly hope she stays with the company. When I am able to reach her I always feel like I am talking with a long distance friend. I believe DaySmart Vet is performing well and I support the changes!

Pros

The DaySmart Vet team is always looking for ways to improve their software. The system is easy to use and you are not limited in many ways. They take into consideration ways they can continue to develop their software. Which is truly needed to keep up with the world as it continues to grow with the veterinary field. I almost always reach support when I call or use the chat box right away. And if I do not reach anyone they will callback. There has been times I didn't leave a voicemail and someone still called back. I would work for DaySmart Vet if I could handle being a fulltime mom plus practice manager!

Cons

When there is enhancement request I understand this takes time to fulfill. There can be some miscommunication when requesting for updates like possibly the DaySmart team member needs more training to know how the system fully works. And I say that because we have utilized DaySmart Vet when it was called Vetter, so a good amount of years. I would like to encourage training for all DaySmart staff as updates occur.

Overall they program is decent. They do have a lot of the features we wanted for an affordable price.

Pros

The ease of use and being able to teach my staff the new system even after switching from paper charts to computer was fairly easy.

Cons

Set up was kind of hard as there is no set up from the company. There where some topics on vaccines that should of been discussed when setting up inventory.

### "Efficient, Cloud-Based Solution for Busy Veterinary Teams"

October 13, 2025

4.0

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed using DaySmart. It’s user-friendly, cloud-based, and offers more tools and flexibility than we had with Cornerstone.

Pros

I really love the scheduler—it’s so easy to move and update appointments, and the icons make communication between teams seamless (checked in, in room, etc.). The integrated payments and ability to securely keep cards on file are huge advantages. I also appreciate how customizable the medical notes, forms, and letters are—it makes everything feel tailored to our workflow. Customer support is always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. Plus, some of the recent updates have been fantastic and have really improved my daily workflow.

Cons

I think the reports section in DaySmart could be stronger—I’d love to see more detailed reports on estimates and wellness plans in particular. Our transition from Cornerstone to DaySmart was a bit clunky, and we encountered quite a few bugs early on (for example, patient profile photos didn’t transfer and many breeds imported incorrectly). I also wish the integrated payments system were a bit easier to use; we’ve had to tighten our refund process, which has unfortunately led to some frustrated clients.

October 22, 2025

5.0

Overall I am very pleased with with DaySmart Vet and glad that we made the switch when we did! Being full time reception and full time PM I can say that it does help and save me on the most busiest days.

Pros

What I like most with DaySmart Vet is how everything is in one click or another. Everything is easy to find and locate. Most for myself is keeping my inventory together and update to date.

Cons

Currently my only thing right now is checking out with a patient that got a rabies certificate and the tag number not showing up even though we added it during check out.

### "Excellent Veterinary Practice Management Software."

September 18, 2025

5.0

Overall I am very pleased with the program. It has greatly improved once it became DaySmart versus when it was Vetter.

Pros

Being a cloud based software that we can use from our phones or laptops after hours is super helpful. Lately they have been adding a lot of features, which is great to make the program even better are more user friendly. Love being able to do online chat with customer support versus having to call in.

Cons

The cost to all of the add on features starts to become quite expensive, but still worth the convenience. I have used many other practice management softwares, and have liked this one the best.

### "Our experience converting to DaySmart Vet"

September 8, 2025

5.0

Our hospital has had a great experience using DaySmart Vet. Trainers know everything there is for us to learn and prepare us thoroughly prior to transitioning to this software. There are recorded modules for us to review and reference as needed, Help desk has AI and human staff members to work with.

Pros

DaSmart Vet is very easy to use, and the help desk staff are very easy to work with. They will stick with our questions until we are completely satisfied. This software is very intuitive, and we are learning many facets all of the time. We have only had DaySmart Vet for 1 month, and things transitioned very smoothly from our previous program.

Cons

I can't say that I've seen any cons at this time! We do not have an option to round prices up to the next dollar, however DaySmart has documented this request, and hopefully in the near future this option will be available to us. DaySmart Vet updates regularly to make process improvements.

November 7, 2025

5.0

very good and very helpful and accessible. I feel that we have given the daysmart team many obstacles and they have always tried (and mostly succeeded) coming up with solutions to hiccups.

Pros

it is buildable for each practice. It is geared to full service vets rather than shelters and spay neuter clinics, but with all of the new services that shelters and clinics are providing, this would work perfectly

Cons

the lack of a drug log that allows bottle numbers and negative usage is a HUGE problem in the state of Va. Also the integration from our old system did not go as planned, but that was not a daysmart problem, rather a problem with out old software that did not want to release the information.

Pros

The user-friendly interface makes it easy for our entire team to navigate, even those who are not very tech-savvy. We especially love the way everything is set up—it’s intuitive, organized, and saves us so much time during the day.

On top of that, their customer service has been excellent—responsive, supportive, and always willing to help when needed. Overall, DaySmart Vet has been a fantastic tool for our practice.

### "DaySmart is an Economical Alternative to Pricey Software"

November 5, 2025

5.0

Overall, we've had a positive experience. Staff has sometimes struggled with the "layers" in this program as opposed to our previous software that had a lot of information on one screen (relationships being a prime example) but I have found that once they get used to it and are trained to use ALL of the features available, the workflow is quite smooth. I've been using this program in two different practices, as it's been developed and appreciate the tech support and the responsiveness to suggestions as it becomes more sophisticated.

Pros

DaySmart Vet provides all of the critical features that veterinary software needs to make day to day appointments run smoothly, for a fraction of the cost of other programs.

Cons

We wish there were fewer popups in the upper right corner! While they are sometimes helpful, they frequently appear in places that slow our staff down when we're busy. Every second counts.

Our experience with Daysmart Vet been great overall. It has made record keeping and scheduling much better than handwriting.

Pros

The support team are very prompt to respond and have great communication along the way. The appointment scheduling allows me to customize appointment types and block out accordingly. We are able to send out questionnaires and authorization forms to clients prior to their appointments and I love that we can include a picture in their profile. We can manage their appointments and status.

Cons

We are an end of life only clinic. When we send emails after the pet has died, clients do not like to see Fluffy Smith (DECEASED) in bold letters. We wish we could change that aspect. We are helping very emotional families after they lose their beloved companions.

Pros

Choosing DaySmart Vet for our practice management software has been one of the best decisions for our clinic! Everyone on our team is thrilled with the ease and efficiancy of this program. Updates and improvements are continually rolling out. Communication between support and user is incredible! We are able to schedule our appointments, manage our patients, keep detailed records and all of it takes less time and effort than it did with our previous PiMS. So many easy to use resources and tools. We are very pleased!

Cons

September 22, 2025

4.0

It’s better than some systems but still needs some work. The customer support is always helpful no matter the issue you bring to the table.

Pros

DaySmart is an easy to understand program. When I help train new employees they can pick up on it very easily.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like the people who created it have never worked in a vet hospital. There’s a few things they could update to really improve the system and my efficiency at work.

Satisfied with most aspects of how it works for me and the evolution of the program continues to find helpful ways to improve my workflow

Pros

Works well for my style of work flow and easy accessible in the field and very quick responses on customer service and help questions

Cons

I wish the option of relationship for “leasing” could count as a party that could pay invoices; I have many patients. This would be the most appropriate set up, but I have to put the person as an owner to allow them to be able to pay the invoice.

Hi Dr. Alicia! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your review. It's great to hear DaySmart Vet fits your workflow and that our customer service has been quick and helpful. Your feedback regarding the 'leasing' relationship type and invoice payments is a great point, and we'll make sure this gets passed along to our product team. Thanks again!

### "Overall, Brilliant Software and Excellent Support team"

June 26, 2025

5.0

Overall extremely good. In the 10 years we have been with daysmart the software has been extremely stable in fact I cannot remember any time at all where it has gone offline or had any major faults- it has never let us down, and thats saying something- so a very reliable platform. In 10 years, a handful of minor issues (maybe 2 or 3) were quickly identified and remedied by the Daysmart support team. Also the communication between the support team and users is brilliant and the support team have always been helpful, polite and really friendly when we have contacted them for queries, special requests or feedback.

Pros

Very user-friendly and extremely functional practice software at a fair cost for Veterinary practices. The platform is uncluttered with an intuitive layout making it a pleasure to use. Excellent back-up support. We have been with Daysmart Vet since our inception and value it both in-clinic and also on housecall rounds (via Ipad)

Cons

Unfortunately Daysmart, being an overseas-based software, does not integrate with Australian Pet Insurance platforms for "Gap-Only" payments for clients, but this is not Daysmarts fault - a logistical deficiency brought about by distant location and we accept this, given the many major advantages of the software.

Reason for choosing DaySmart Vet

1\. at that time there were very few software platforms that were Housecall friendly and being web-based, our medical notes fully integrated "live" with the in clinic system and thus it was a favoured choice. The other platforms back then struggled with I-pad mobile integration. 2) Also, we were (and still are) a smaller, low-volume and high-care clinic (not production-line style) and found that Daysmart had one of the most reasonable monthly cost structures for us. The other platforms seemed to have a starting subscription that were quite taxing on a one-vet practice starting up but Daysmart ( or Vetter as it was called then) were very fair to us small clinics. 3) and, although we didn't quite realise it at the time, Daysmart suited us the best as we did not NEED (or necessarily want) all the myriad of features that a practice software comes with, and Daysmart gave us the Excellent day-to-day software we all need to run our practices without the clutter of "over-features". We can however opt-in to those extra features should we desire them. Also, visiting nurses/vet techs and other vets always comment on how good our software is when they see it being used (Daysmart is not that commonly used downunder as they don't market it down here). Notably... they say it has far "less clicks" needed to get the job done in day to day use.

### "Glad we switched to Daysmart Vet!"

October 3, 2025

5.0

Very good customer support, easy scheduling, reliable reminders, interfaces well with Idexx, allows us to save x-rays and imaging to files. Happy we made the switch--no regrets!

Pros

Daysmart Vet has everything I need to help my housecall practice run smoothly. I love the text and email messaging that comes from the PIMS system so everything is saved to patients' records. The onboarding was very helpful and smooth. Customer support has also been rapid and reliable. I'm so glad I made the switch to Daysmart. We also love knowing appointment reminders are always sent. It also reliably interfaces with Idexx and can handle a lot of attachments. The price is comparable to our old system--a little more but worth it for the better product.

Cons

I wish voice dictation were easier. I've done the Daisy demo but it did not seem much better than just dictating into my iphone.

Vet Office Suite was terrible. Half the time, labs were not attached. They were very un-helpful with customer support (downright rude!). Not many features...

### "We're Lovin It"

August 27, 2025

5.0

We have used this system for about 3 almost 4 months. So far it has been easy to use and the customer service has been spot on. If the AI assistant can not anwser the questions tech support is readily available and so far has handled everything fast and efficently.

Pros

Very user friendly, great hyper links, easy flow with the medical notes. Love the fact that we can open any link in another tab for easy jump back and forth if needed.

Cons

We are still pretty new to this system. I would say the troubles of switching over to a new system. The data transfer has had a few hiccups. Honestly I am not sure if its on Daysmarts side or the previous software.

Software was difficult to manage. Discharge notes took so long with pointless clicking around the software. Not as customable and not user friendly. No AI tools

### "Helpful and friendly"

October 6, 2025

4.0

Overall it is pretty positive. It is difficult for our less tech-savvy staff to work with. We are a mobile equine vet with 3 veterinarians so scheduling can get hectic. The customer service is supportive and helpful but sometimes feels limited in what they can do.

Pros

Their customer support is always friendly even in frustrating situations. I like that it is cloud based so that we can all access it from anywhere.

Cons

It is not a very user-friendly interface. I wish it was more mobile friendly. Several of the enhancements we have asked for have sat for well over a year.
