Common questions
Why switch to VaroVet from my current PIMS?
If your current software was built before cloud (or before mobile), or if it bills SMS by the message, or if you can't see prices on its website — that's three reasons we hear every week. VaroVet is cloud-native, includes SMS in every paid plan, 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 from systems like Cornerstone or Provet Cloud, we handle the data import 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 to feel familiar within an hour of using it — most vets we onboard are writing visits unassisted by lunchtime on day one. 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.
