"User-Friendly and Highly Customizable—A Great Switch"
5/5
What do you like best about Covetrus Pulse?

I find the program really user friendly. I like that it is really customizable to what I want in most areas. It has been a great switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Covetrus Pulse?

Its a positive and a negative, but because there are multiple ways to do the same thing, sometimes it creates confusion within our staff but I am glad to have the options regardless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient But Needs Better Communication Features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Covetrus Pulse?

I really like the convenience of having cloud-based software with Covetrus Pulse, as it makes everything related to daily practice management easily accessible and allows for personalization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Covetrus Pulse?

The software is a bit click-heavy and the available communications platform is not the best. It would be great to offer ISP phone integration to go along with SMS and emailing. The initial setup was fairly seamless but it did not allow for a way to manage duplicate client files among our 3 practices. We have had to merge them manually over the past 2 years and still are doing so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Carrie - We’re so happy we could be there to help you provide your patients with great care. Your feedback is integral to us and to the veterinary industry. Keep thriving!

"Review based on personal usage"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Covetrus Pulse?

The write back for the pharmacy and integrated labs. It helps eliminate errors from transcribing and saves time. I like the fact that I can move multiple billing items at once. The time clock is super helpful it has helped stop my staff from forgetting to clock in and out for their shift. As a manager I fond the reports very clean and easy to read. They are simple to run. This system has sped up my efficiency as I am not having to use multiple different software's to rack inventory, employee time cards, controls ect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Covetrus Pulse?

Sometime tech support doesn't listen very well when you are having an issue that needs to be addressed. The last update really messed up the labs process. It doesn't transfer the breed over to the requisition forms. Also it makes you use hotkeys to move into a clear field to be able to type comments instead of being able to click on the clear field with the cursor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Okay for day practice, not so much for emergency."
2/5
What do you like best about Covetrus Pulse?

We are able to link all of our clinics so that our clients list is the same at all locations. Having a place to look up issues and problems. Nice layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Covetrus Pulse?

Not integrated with suppliers. But it's in the works! Support not available 24/7 ss an emergency clinic that would be ideal. Not able to edit estimates as we want. Very click-y. Not as user friendly. Not customizable. Doesn't have a lot of features we had on multiple other systems we've used. Even our daypractices don't love it. Lots of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good program, will one day be a great program"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Covetrus Pulse?

Coming from Cornerstone it has been nice to have a cloud based program. The ease of pulling up clients and quick invoicing/invoicing in general has also been well received. It is also appreciated by the front desk the ease of changing and or correcting payments. Cornerstone was very unforgiving if you made a financial error, so being able to quickly and easily fix this has made the front desk breathe a sigh of relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Covetrus Pulse?

The PDF generating can be annoying. It would be nice if the forms just printed instead of saving to your HD. The boarding platform is an absolute nightmare. I'm having to make sure I set the appointments at 7am and leaving at 12am and even then it will get confusing if you have two pets boarding together. We tried the hotel style but it was still overcharging clients. I have an XL Run that we charge $117 for up to 4 pets, however unlike CStone there is no way for the sytem to recognize it and wants to charge each pet an additional cost. It would also be nice to be able to send forms {grooming/boarding/bath) to the client and have them be able to send it back you and then save to the system. We are still having to scan in all the printed out forms. I know you can email the form but unless you have certain programs downloaded you can't edit, and even then I did not find it user friendly. It is also not the most user friendly manually entering in previous vaccine history. We still utilize travel sheets, so we are having to generate those still from Cornerstone. Also, having to created multiple reports during the day to check and balance should be easier. With CStone we could check without having to go in and create report after report.

Edit to add: There are far too many steps with checking out. If a patient is checked in and you check them out you still have to manually check them out on the screen from each individual check-in (we will have them on a groom/tech or dr schedule separately).
