Our verdict on Vetstar

Vetstar is a veterinary hospital information and practice management system from Advanced Technology Corp (ATC). It is designed for veterinary teaching hospitals, universities and private practices, including small, mid-market and enterprise organizations. The system combines patient and visit records with appointment scheduling, calendars, reminders, referral workflows, integrated accounting and billing, inventory management, client portals and referring-veterinarian portals. Configurable user permissions support differentiated access across a practice or hospital.

Deployment is a central choice. ATC offers cloud-based or locally hosted deployment, allowing organizations to align hosting with their operational preferences. SANDI provides a web-based interface, while portals give clients and referring veterinarians access to relevant records and invoices. The referral workflow is particularly relevant for hospitals and practices coordinating care with external veterinarians and specialists. Buyers should assess how the web platform and portal model fit their existing systems and daily workflows before selecting a deployment approach.

ATC describes onboarding, data migration, training, support and updates as part of its offering, and prospective customers can contact the company for pricing information. Vetstar makes the strongest fit for practices that want a broad operational system with referral coordination and a choice between cloud and local hosting. Teams seeking a mobile-native product or clinical tooling beyond the system’s stated records, scheduling, referral, financial, inventory and portal functions should compare alternatives that focus on those requirements.
