Covetrus Pulse review

Covetrus Pulse is the cloud PIMS at the center of the Covetrus platform, and it makes the most sense for practices already buying from Covetrus. The medical record tracks communications, prescriptions, diagnostic results and purchases. Through Covetrus vRxPro, a clinic can run its own branded online pharmacy, with client purchases synced to patient records and scripts created, approved and renewed inside Pulse. Covetrus Payments handles checkout, Covetrus Comms adds online scheduling, automated reminders, unlimited texting and appointment deposits, and Covetrus CarePlans brings care plan billing into the record. Daily work runs through a treatment board, a task dashboard, custom fillable forms and clinic reports, and Covetrus lists more than 250 partner integrations, including Zoetis Diagnostics and CareCredit. Covetrus does not publish Pulse prices, and several of its strongest features are separate Covetrus products, so ask what the quote includes.
