### "Avimark"

September 13, 2019

4.0

Overall we like AviMark and will not be changing

Pros

Overall ease of use and functionality is good. Patient records are easy to access and filter. Inventory data base is pretty good as well. Love the integration with rapport for client communication.

Cons

The inability or lack of ease for e-mailing documents such as rabies certificates needs a lot of work. Have some trouble with inventory as far as allocated quantities being off and sales. Having to consistently rebuild indexes to keep things correct is a pain.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Avimark

The functions that were available at the time.

### "Avimark Review"

September 22, 2020

4.0

I was overall pleased with my experience with AVImark. Any time I had an issue, tech support was always supportive and able to help troubleshoot me through my issue.

Pros

Avimark is very easy to use for basic functions. It is easy to input new patients, handle inventory, and run reports necessary.

Cons

While it has the capabilities do everything you need that is necessary, it is extremely slow when performing those functions. When running inventory reports, I once was running different reports on 7 computers because it was taking about 15-30 minutes for each report. If I had only been using one computer, I would have never gotten what I needed to do done.

### "Good and bad with Avimark"

November 18, 2020

4.0

Overall I have been pleased with Avimark. I have been using it for over 18 years at 2 different practices. It is very user friendly and having to use Tech support is very helpful

Pros

Ease of use specially in training new employees to learn

Cons

Recently the problems I have had with the software in the issue of accessing Tripos at end of day through Avimark. I Can't just go through the link in the software. Must go to website in internet directly. Payment processing tech states that the problem is because Google did a update. Care credit button as well I can not access through Avimark. Must just go to web address directly. Never got a explanation on that one

June 10, 2021

5.0

Pros

There are so many ways to customize the product that we continue to learn new areas of use as we determine areas of need and call support to see if it can be created.

Cons

There are a few areas where it is very ridged and cannot be customized.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Avimark

Good value with overall ease of use and great support.

### "Easy to use for the entire team!"

November 17, 2020

4.0

We use it exclusively for our medical records and payment solutions.

Pros

This software is incredibly easy to use! Employees learn it quickly and easily! It works well for our veterinary clinic.

Cons

At times, the customer support for this software is not the greatest. You sometimes wait on hold for a long time and then you still may not get an answer after speaking with someone.

### "Very Knowledgeable Support Staff "

June 2, 2020

4.0

The overall experience has been good.

Pros

Easy to use (once you learn it). The support staff is usually always very helpful and some will even teach you how to fix it on your own so you don't have to always call in (Which I like)

Cons

The biggest con for us is the support for the Credit Card terminals is overseas. Very hard to understand them. It's always a nightmare when we have to deal with the processing side of the credit card terminals (Tripos). Another would be the Compatability with Word Versions. If we have a problem with something the techs will always say its because you aren't using the proper word version.

### "Avimark review"

November 24, 2020

5.0

I bought a practice with Avimark and am learning to use it. I am however interested in all the cloud based options available.

Pros

I prefer Avimark over other software. Avimark is easier to use and seems to work better in a busy practice.

Cons

There is not an easily available “ how to use Avimark “ On line program. I have used the Avimark on line tutorial available and it was not helpful.

### "AVImark at work"

November 17, 2020

4.0

My experience with AVImark has been positive and if I have needed support, I call and can get assistance right at that time.

Pros

AVImark is a great software program for out veterinary business. It supports the majority of our daily interactions and transactions. I am new to the clinic and AVImark has been an easy tool to use and get comfortable with.

Cons

The only issue at this time is that we have opened up another wellness clinic site. Only 1/2 block away from our existing site and we continue to have issues with getting AVImark to work for us in the new building. Believe it is more of a server issue than avimark issue.

June 18, 2021

Not knowing any other system makes it hard to answer some of the questions, but for the most part it is going ok.

Pros

Easy to learn, support is is very helpful.

Cons

Seems a little out dated. Some things you think you should be able to do ,you can't

Reason for choosing Covetrus Avimark

Most of the colleagues around my town was using this product. Some have started using others.

June 15, 2021

5.0

Great!!

Pros

Easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to train.

Cons

I don't like the change that was made for selecting date range. You no longer are able to go back a full year to be able to print histories for clients. You have to go back by the month. This makes it very time consuming when you have to go back several years.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Avimark

We considered it the best option.

### "Complete needs met... Almost"

July 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Everything needed is built in to the software. They thought of most everything needed to run a veterinarian practice, and obviously been working on improvements.

Cons

The cost of the service is quite high, and not being cloud based was a downfall for us. With 2 busy offices we had to stop and sync the software, and we were still unable to retrieve needed files when away from the server.

### "AVImark review"

November 30, 2020

5.0

I have enjoyed it over cornerstone and another one i think was called vetsbest

Pros

its very user friendly and has a lot of capabilities that others dont.

Cons

You cant have multiple medical hx's up or other windows. There are a bunch of little glitches that are never found until they are caught and a global or inventory update is required.

### "User Friendly"

May 28, 2020

5.0

Easy to use, Reminders work well when set up properly

Pros

This software is useful with multiple doctors, doggie day care, grooming, and boarding appointments. We have everything color coded and easy to view on a consolidated or daily set up. I would like to be able to inactivate clients who have not been in for over a year yet keep sending reminders for vaccinations that may not be due for 2+ years.

Cons

Our stored Word document templates (ie., Rabies Certificates) can not be emailed through Avimark without printing or scanning first. Reminders can be a challenge and usually require tech support

### "Avimark is THE Vet Software"

May 28, 2020

4.0

I enjoy using Avimark, as i find it is quite organized. The scheduling works well, and it is easy to work on inventory.

Pros

Avimark is a vet software I've used for the longest time. Once you learn it, I find it has great functionality and can do most things that we require. Compared to other vet software, I find Avimark is the most user friendly and detailed.

Cons

We find Avimark in general is quite expensive, especially with the cost of storage. The learning curve is hard at first for people not familiar with, but once you learn it, it is good. The way to generate lists is confusing and not user friendly.

December 18, 2018

3.0

Pros

Easy to create estimates that you can then transfer over to invoices

Cons

medical records and invoice line items hard to distinguish, patient histories can get very long. Would like a way to have invoices just one line that you could then expand.

### "Long time AVImark user"

May 28, 2020

4.0

Got away from paper records entirely 18 years ago. Have been satisfied overall and very few things that cannot be done with the program

Pros

Easy to use once it is set up. Medical record format is easy to follow. Many customizable features and add-on options. Widely used software that many other companies can integrate with

Cons

Support quality is not what it used to be. Support costs keep going up. Some lack of consistency in hot keys. Some of the reporting features related to data mining are cumbersome

Reason for choosing Covetrus Avimark

AVimark was less expensive and easier to use at the time

### "Avimark is a good choice"

June 5, 2020

4.0

All in all, Avimark is a great value for the money. One of the best choices for a non-cloud-based system.

Pros

Avimark is fairly easy to use while simultaneously being full-featured. It is an excellent choice for paperless practices who want a server in-house. Technical support staff seem knowlegable. Make sure you have enough hardware horsepower; don’t buy cheap PCs.

Cons

Integration with Microsoft Word for reports is flexible, but also adds expense and complexity over a native reporting engine. It only integrates with a very limited number of DICOM systems; wider support in that area would be nice.

June 15, 2021

Overall very easy to use.

Pros

Very easy to teach to a new employee. We use this system daily and rarely have any problems.

Cons

If there were a way for the reminder system to recognize if an appointment has already been scheduled so that a reminder will not be sent. Also the search system needs to be more user friendly.

### "Long Term AviMark user"

June 3, 2020

4.0

Excellent program initially low cost to purchase and low cost support fees. Fees have increased with support but the program is no longer regularly updated. I have been pleased but recently less pleased overall.

Pros

Low cost, flexible features, POMRS. Medical records.

Cons

The number of upgrades have dropped off since McAllister brothers sold the company. I have repeatedly asked for help implementing time card use on sidekick units but that request is never been addressed. When sidekick is backed up there should be an automatic internal backup of the laptop and the server. This does not happen.

Reason for choosing Covetrus Avimark

Cost and ease of use.

### "AVIMark Review"

August 25, 2022

5.0

Pros

It's pretty straightforward in how it works. It's got everything to run a vet practice and works well over both a peer-to-peer and client server network.

Cons

It can be quirky. I keep having intermittent printing related issues that I can't exactly pinpoint the cause. Our DYMO label printers work fine for 2-3 months, then randomly will lose it's configuration for the labels and have to be reset.

### "Doesn't work with Idexx for exotic pets"

May 28, 2020

3.0

Pros

Used to work well for me. Is generally easy to use.

Cons

I am an exotics animal veterinarian that uses Idexx as my lab. Recent changes have made Avimark no longer compatible with Idexx, and it won't create requisitions for my patients. I have called Idexx and they say it is Avimark's problem. I have talked to Avimark multiple times and they have blown me off saying they are "working on it". But after months there is no improvement. I am so tired of having to go into Idexx and create each requisition by hand! I hope to switch to a different program soon.
