Whether the patient walks, gallops, flies, or leaps its way into the office, veterinarians care for a wide range of their customer’s beloved companions. Despite the best efforts of the vet and his/her staff, the result of animal care isn’t always what everyone had hoped for.

Stop payments are difficult to collect especially if the consumer is unhappy about the result of their animal's care. Luckily, there are services available to protect your pet clinic from the pitfalls of stop-payment checks.

To many people, pets are seen as part of the family, so it's crucial for veterinarians to have the right kind of software to use in the treatment of these family members. Veterinary practice management software is generally the tool of choice today.

Veterinary software is composed of a suite of applications and programs used by animal hospitals and veterinary clinics to effectively manage the treatment of their patients. Suites can include solutions for managing patient intake and discharge, accounting and payment processing, records management, dispensary, workflow, client communication and much more. The seamless integration of all aspects of a veterinary practice allows for a streamlined process and access to information across multiple locations.
