Covetrus Pulse review
A connected Covetrus platform for clinics that want scheduling, records, and operations in one system.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Covetrus Pulse is a cloud-based veterinary operating system for practices that want clinical and administrative workflows connected in one place. It combines electronic medical records with online scheduling, client communications, automated reminders, prescription management, care plans, payments, inventory, reports, treatment-board workflows, resource scheduling, and task management. Website and client-portal booking support is paired with email, SMS, and voice reminders, while telehealth is included among the category capabilities. The broad scope makes Pulse a fit for Covetrus-oriented clinics seeking centralized practice operations rather than a scheduling tool alone.
Pricing follows a contact-sales model. The product is positioned as a connected operating system, so its value depends on how many clinic functions a practice wants to bring together: scheduling, records, inventory, payments, care plans, analytics, and workflow automation. AI-assisted automated workflows add another layer for clinics looking to reduce repetitive administrative work. Covetrus also offers connected products for communications, prescriptions, payments, supply management, and care plans, along with integrations for GreatPetCare, Zoetis Diagnostics, CareCredit, and CUBEX. Practices should expect a sales-led evaluation rather than a simple self-serve plan comparison.
Pulse stands out for breadth, particularly its combination of treatment-board and resource scheduling with inventory reordering, clinical records, and operational reporting. The trade-off is that practices looking only for appointment booking may find the platform broader than necessary. Appointment scheduling, reminders, telemedicine, and mobile access are associated with the integrated Covetrus Comms offering, so clinics should assess how that relationship fits their intended workflow. Choose Pulse when connected Covetrus workflows and automation matter; consider a narrower scheduling product when the priority is a lightweight booking experience.
