Comparison

An eVetPractice alternative with no distributor attached

The same practice toolkit as eVetPractice, with a published price list and a subscription that stands on its own

eVetPractice is a cloud PIMS from Covetrus, an animal-health distributor, and sits within the wider Covetrus software and pharmacy offering. VaroVet covers the same practice management ground — scheduling, medical records, inpatient care, inventory with purchase orders, invoicing, owner portal, reporting, custom roles — with two differences clinics notice immediately: the price list is published in full, and the subscription is independent of any distribution or pharmacy agreement.

Where VaroVet is different

Where VaroVet is different

Quick to learn, quick to work in

Booking, consulting, dispensing, and invoicing sit on short, direct paths, so new staff handle a full day without someone shadowing them.

Published prices, independent subscription

Plan prices and per-clinical-user rates are on the website, and what you pay does not depend on where you buy medicines or how much you order.

Your own choice of partners

Lab, pharmacy, and payment integrations are yours to pick, which matters in European markets where the distribution landscape differs from the US.

Built for European practice

EU-hosted data, European VAT and invoicing conventions, and Latvian, Estonian, and English interfaces.
