Europe’s pet‑ownership boom over the past decade, accelerated by the COVID‑19 pandemic, has placed unprecedented pressure on veterinary practices. Clinics are grappling with rising complexity: more frequent checkups, chronic conditions in aging pets, growing expectations from pet owners for seamless service, and the need for efficient inventory, billing, and follow‑up systems. In that environment, traditional paper‑based records or basic scheduling systems increasingly fall short.
Emerging veterinary platforms powered by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and real‑time analytics are offering a lifeline. They promise to transform clinics into scalable, data-driven businesses, bridging the gap between hands-on care and efficient operations. This listicle highlights five of the most influential such platforms in Europe: those that demonstrate a meaningful blend of clinical workflow support, business intelligence, vet‑centric design, and modern scalability.
1. viggoVet
viggoVet stands out as a new breed of solution: not merely a practice‑management system, but the Veterinary Business Intelligence Platform. It integrates medical, financial, and operational data in one unified dashboard, giving clinics clarity into everything from daily appointments to profit leaks, under‑ or over‑charging, inventory inefficiencies, and cross‑branch performance.
On the clinical side, viggoVet offers the standard Vet PMS functions: patient records, scheduling, labs and imaging, consultations, but wraps them in enterprise‑grade features such as automated workflows, audit tracing, expense tracking, proforma invoicing, and multi‑branch management.
Critically, it adds a veterinary‑specific AI: a system trained by hundreds of veterinary professionals on millions of veterinary‑specific data points, designed to support diagnostic workflows, document parsing, lab integration, and clinical decision support.
Early adoption outside offers a window into its real‑world potential. Within four months of launching, viggoVet had been adopted by over 300 veterinary professionals, who reported saving over 10 hours weekly, demonstrating the power of vet-centric automated workflows, AI scanning & AI Scribe tools embedded into daily operations, in addition to full WhatsApp integration that drastically eased pet owners’ communication.
As European clinics contend with growing demand and complexity, viggoVet represents a forward‑looking model: a clinic that can manage patient care, staff, inventory, compliance, and business performance all in one system.
2. Lupa Pets
Lupa takes a modern, tech‑native approach: built from the ground up as an AI‑powered operating system for veterinary clinics. Its arrival signals a shift in the industry toward full integration, replacing multiple standalone tools (scheduling, invoicing, notes, communications) with a cohesive ecosystem.
In its 2025 funding round, Lupa’s engineers & sales founders team secured US$20 million in a Series A, underscoring investor confidence in its vision. The London‑based platform claims to reduce administrative burden: within a week of rollout, clinics reportedly save each vet around 60 minutes per day, thanks to AI‑powered note transcription, automated workflows, and streamlined communications.
3. ezyVet
ezyVet remains one of Europe’s most established cloud-based veterinary practice‑management systems, in part because it is offered through a global leader in veterinary diagnostics and software.
ezyVet supports a breadth of practice types from small‑animal clinics to equine and livestock practices, making it well-suited for Europe’s diverse veterinary landscape. Through its integration with lab diagnostics, imaging tools, and third‑party suppliers, ezyVet offers clinics a stable, well‑supported backbone for both clinical work and business operations.
Its longevity, broad adoption, and integration capabilities make it a safe and trusted choice for clinics that value stability, support, and long‑term reliability.
4. Covetrus Pulse
Covetrus Pulse is a cloud‑based veterinary operating system (vOS) built by global animal‑health company Covetrus, designed to centralize all aspects of clinic operations from electronic medical records and scheduling to client communications, prescribing, online pharmacy, invoicing, and diagnostics integration.
By consolidating these varied functions into a single, unified platform, Pulse aims to reduce administrative burden and improve efficiency. According to company‑provided data, clinics using Pulse reported saving several hours per week per veterinarian, freeing up time for patient care, reducing overhead, and streamlining workflows.
Through integration with diagnostics services (e.g., via partner platforms like Zoetis Diagnostics), Pulse enables real‑time lab result uploads, streamlined billing for tests, and simplified prescription management, features particularly valuable for practices emphasizing diagnostic services.
5. Provet Cloud
Provet Cloud is a widely adopted cloud‑based veterinary practice management system used by over 2,300 clinics in 45+ countries. Its versatility spans general practices, mobile clinics, referral hospitals, and large multi‑clinic operations, making it one of the most flexible PMS solutions available in Europe.
Among its core functionalities are scheduling and appointment booking, automated communication (client reminders, feedback capture, CRM), invoicing and billing, patient‑ and herd‑health management, and detailed analytics for inventory, stock levels, and financial reporting. The platform also offers AI integration to assist with consultation notes, discharge instructions, and summarizing patient histories, a useful shortcut for busy veterinarians.
Provet Cloud’s scalability has been validated by large deployments; for instance, its rollout across nearly 400 clinics of a major UK veterinary group was completed ahead of schedule, underscoring its suitability for enterprise‑level operations.
Intelligent Systems Making Clinics More Efficient
The veterinary software industry in Europe is in the midst of a transformation. Where once clinics relied on a patchwork of record books, paper charts, and manual scheduling, a new generation of platforms is offering unified, intelligent systems blending clinical workflows, business intelligence, financial reporting, client communication, and even AI‑driven support.
From long‑established systems like ezyVet to newer entrants like Vet AI‑first viggoVet and General AI-integrated Lupa, the common denominator is the ambition to simplify and professionalize veterinary care. For clinics, that means less time spent on admin, more time on patient care, and for pet owners, potentially smoother communication, better follow‑ups, and more consistent care.
As these platforms continue to develop, the European veterinary sector is likely to see a paradigm shift in how veterinary care is delivered, managed, and scaled.
