Switching to VaroVet
Common questions
Why switch to VaroVet from my current PIMS?
If your current software was built before cloud (or before mobile), or if it sells SMS as a separate add-on module, or if you can't see prices on its website — that's three reasons we hear every week. VaroVet is cloud-native, builds SMS reminders right in with transparent per-message pricing, and publishes every tier on the pricing page. Free trial, no card required.
How long does data migration take?
Most clinics are running on VaroVet within a day of signing up. For Enterprise migrations, we handle the data import from your previous system for you at no extra cost — usually completing in 1-2 weeks including a parallel-run period.
Will my team need extensive training?
No. VaroVet is designed so there is less to learn before the team is productive — staff pick it up as they work. We offer free onboarding sessions for any plan, but most clinics don't need them.
Where is my clinic data stored?
All clinic and patient data is hosted in the European Union, processed under GDPR. No third-country transfers. This is true on every plan — it's not an Enterprise-only feature.
Can I try VaroVet before committing?
Yes — 14-day free trial on every paid tier, no credit card required. You can import a sample dataset, invite your team, and test against your real workflow before deciding.
