Provet Cloud — rebranded simply as "Provet" in November 2025 — is a cloud-based veterinary practice information management system (PIMS) owned by publicly listed Nordhealth (Euronext Growth Oslo: NORDH) and headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. Provet's structural differentiator is vendor independence: no diagnostics contracts, no distribution lock-ins, and an explicit commitment to data portability through an open REST API and 150+ integration partners. As of mid-2026, the platform serves over 55,000 veterinary professionals across more than 3,000 clinics in over 30 countries.

Provet holds a 4.1 out of 5 rating across 89 verified reviews on VetSoftwareHub and 88 reviews on Software Advice, with strong marks for customer support (4.25) and value for money (3.99). This review covers what Provet does well, where it is limited, and which practice profiles should shortlist it during a PIMS evaluation.

Fast answer

Provet fits independent general practices, multi-location groups, referral hospitals, and university veterinary teaching hospitals that want a vendor-neutral, cloud-native PIMS with an open API, strong data security credentials (ISO/IEC 27001 certified), and AI-assisted clinical documentation (SOAP notes, discharge instructions, patient history summaries). It does not fit practices that want the deepest IDEXX ecosystem integration (consider Cornerstone or Neo for that), or clinics that need built-in controlled-substance logging or a native mobile app for offline field use.

Pricing

Provet uses a per-DVM pricing model with all non-veterinarian staff accounts included at no extra charge. Published pricing as of mid-2026:

Plan Price Included DVMs Best for
Core $249/month 1 DVM (+ $99/month per additional DVM) Single-site practices
Pro $299/month 1 DVM (+ $129/month per additional DVM) Multi-site practices
Enterprise Contact for pricing Custom Large groups and universities

All plans include:

  • Free accounts for all non-veterinarian staff (technicians, receptionists, managers)
  • Free Provet Academy (training and onboarding)
  • Free implementation
  • Unified payments (Provet Pay)
  • Client and patient CRM

What changes the total cost

  • Additional DVMs at $99/month each for Core ($129/month for Pro). A three-doctor Core practice pays approximately $447/month ($249 + 2 × $99); a three-doctor Pro practice pays approximately $557/month ($299 + 2 × $129).
  • Multi-location pricing. The Pro plan at $299/month per DVM adds referral portal and multi-site dashboards. Enterprise pricing is custom for groups with complex structures.
  • Payment processing. Provet Pay (formerly Nordhealth Pay) is included at no monthly fee, but card-processing fees apply (percentage per transaction). Practices should compare these rates against standalone processors like Square or VetSyCare Pay.
  • No annual contract required. Provet explicitly offers month-to-month terms, which is uncommon among PIMS vendors at this feature tier. This reduces switching risk if the platform does not meet expectations.

For a two-doctor general practice, Provet Core runs approximately $348/month — more than DaySmart Vet ($123/month for up to 5 users) but less than Shepherd ($299/month) or ezyVet ($490+/month for two users). The value proposition depends on how much a practice weighs vendor independence, open API access, and data security against raw price. Note that the Pro plan's per-DVM add-on is $129/month (vs. $99 for Core), so multi-location practices should budget accordingly.

AI features

Provet's AI layer focuses on clinical documentation efficiency rather than diagnostic decision support:

  • AI Scribe (add-on, $40/month per veterinarian) assists with medical record documentation during consultations, generating structured SOAP notes from dictation or ambient listening. This is a separate add-on on both Core and Pro plans — not included in the base subscription.
  • AI clinical summaries condense patient history into one-click pre-visit briefs, so the veterinarian walks into the exam room with a condensed timeline rather than scrolling through years of records. Included in Core and Pro plans.
  • AI-generated discharge instructions create client-facing care summaries from the clinical record, reducing the time spent writing after-visit instructions. Included in Core and Pro plans.

These are practical workflow tools rather than clinical AI — they save documentation time but do not suggest diagnoses, flag drug interactions, or analyze diagnostic images. For AI-powered radiology, Provet integrates with SignalPET (one of only two PIMS platforms with a native SignalPET integration, pushing AI radiology results directly into the patient record). For AI diagnostic support during exams, platforms like Shepherd (DiagnoseAI) and Digitail (Tails AI) go further.

Clinical and operational features

Medical records and SOAP notes

Provet provides customizable SOAP templates and a unified patient timeline that consolidates medical history, diagnostics, imaging, and communications in one view. The AI-powered clinical summary pre-populates a condensed history before each visit. The platform supports patient-side charting on tablets and in-browser workstations.

Scheduling and online booking

Provet includes an integrated online booking portal that allows clients to book, confirm, and create a profile without calling the front desk. The scheduler supports multi-provider views, recurring appointments, and multi-department scheduling for referral hospitals.

Inventory management

Real-time stock tracking, expiry alerts, and automatic reorder triggers are included in all plans. Integration with supply partners like Cubex (smart cabinets) is supported through the integration marketplace.

Multi-location management

The Pro and Enterprise plans provide centralized reporting and configuration across locations, with local flexibility for site-specific workflows. Role-based access controls allow corporate groups to standardize certain processes while giving individual clinics autonomy over others. This is a meaningful differentiator — most cloud PIMS platforms at this price point either do not support multi-location at all (DaySmart Vet, most smaller platforms) or charge enterprise-level premiums for it (ezyVet, Covetrus Pulse).

Client communication

Provet includes two-way messaging, a client portal with pet health records, and automated reminders — all native to the platform rather than requiring third-party add-ons. This is an area where Provet outperforms platforms like DaySmart Vet (two-way texting is an add-on) or Hippo Manager (no native client communication tools).

Payments

Provet Pay provides integrated payment processing with PCI DSS Level 1 compliance. Practices can set up flexible and recurring payments, create healthcare plans, and allow clients to split invoices across payment methods. Pay-by-link, in-clinic terminal, and card-on-file tokenization are all supported.

Lab and imaging integrations

Provet integrates with IDEXX, but not at the depth of Cornerstone or Neo (which are IDEXX-owned). It also connects with Antech, Zoetis, and multiple regional labs. For imaging, Provet supports DICOM viewers and PACS connections through integration partners.

The key trade-off: practices heavily invested in the IDEXX diagnostic ecosystem get deeper workflow integration from IDEXX-owned platforms (Cornerstone, Neo, ezyVet). Provet's strength is that it does not favor any single diagnostics vendor — which matters for practices that use multiple lab providers or want to avoid vendor lock-in.

What Provet does well

  • Vendor independence. No diagnostics contracts, no supply chain bundling, no distribution lock-ins. This is Provet's primary positioning and the reason practices choose it over IDEXX-owned or Covetrus-owned alternatives.
  • Open REST API with webhooks. Provet publishes full API documentation (developers.provetcloud.com) that allows third-party systems to read and manipulate key data programmatically. Webhooks notify external systems of data changes in real time. This is the most accessible API in the veterinary PIMS market.
  • Data security credentials. ISO/IEC 27001 certified, subject to EU data protection regulations (GDPR), PCI DSS Level 1 for payments. For practices that take data security seriously — or operate in regions with strict data-residency requirements — Provet's security posture is among the strongest available. See also our PIMS cybersecurity backup drill guide.
  • No annual contract. Month-to-month terms with free implementation reduce the financial risk of trying the platform.
  • Multi-location out of the box. The Pro plan supports multi-site dashboards, centralized configuration, and a referral portal without requiring enterprise-level spend.
  • AI documentation tools at two tiers. AI clinical summaries and discharge instruction generation are included in Core and Pro plans. AI Scribe (ambient dictation-to-SOAP) is a $40/month per veterinarian add-on — less expensive than standalone AI scribe tools like ScribbleVet ($99/month) or Talkatoo ($50–126/month).
  • Free staff accounts and implementation. All non-veterinarian users are free. Onboarding and training (Provet Academy) are included.

Where Provet falls short

  • No native controlled-substance logging. Provet does not include DEA-compliant controlled-drug tracking. Practices needing this must integrate a third-party tool like VetSnap (which has a direct Provet integration). For practices where controlled-substance compliance is a daily workflow, see our digital controlled-drug log software comparison.
  • No native mobile app for offline use. Provet is browser-based and works on mobile devices, but there is no dedicated mobile app with offline capability. Field veterinarians and large-animal or equine practitioners who regularly work without internet should consider ezyVet Go (offline mode) or Instinct (offline mode).
  • US market is still developing. While Provet supports approximately 150 US clinics and launched a pilot program with a 200+ location US veterinary group in January 2025, its integration depth with US-specific vendors, state pharmacy board systems, and US payment processors is still maturing compared to its European footprint.
  • Prescription management is not native. Unlike platforms that include integrated e-prescribing or direct pharmacy connections, Provet handles prescriptions through integrations rather than built-in workflows.
  • UI complexity and learning curve. Several user reviews on Software Advice and independent comparison sites describe the interface as requiring "several clicks for simple tasks" and note that navigation can feel complex, especially for staff accustomed to simpler platforms. The trade-off is that this complexity reflects Provet's customizability — more configuration options mean more to learn during onboarding. Practices transitioning from straightforward platforms like DaySmart Vet or Neo should expect a longer ramp-up period.
  • Implementation can be time-consuming. Multiple user reviews note that data migration and initial setup take longer than expected, especially for practices switching from older on-premise systems. Support teams are described as responsive but not always able to resolve complex configuration issues on first contact.
  • End-of-month reporting quirks. Some users report that built-in financial reports do not always reconcile cleanly with actual bank deposits, requiring manual cross-checking. Practices with complex accounting workflows should verify reporting accuracy during the trial period.
  • Not the deepest IDEXX integration. Practices that use IDEXX for the majority of their diagnostics will find that Cornerstone, Neo, and ezyVet (all IDEXX-owned) provide tighter diagnostic workflow integration. Provet connects to IDEXX but is not part of the IDEXX ecosystem.

Practice-fit checklist

Question If yes, Provet is a strong candidate If no, consider instead
Vendor independence matters to you? Yes — Provet's primary differentiator Cornerstone or Neo for IDEXX ecosystem; Covetrus Pulse for supply chain integration
Multi-location group (2–20+ sites)? Yes — Pro/Enterprise plans DaySmart Vet or Neo for single-location only
Need open API for custom integrations? Yes — full REST API with webhooks Most competitors offer limited or no public API
Data security and ISO certification matter? Yes — ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS L1 Few veterinary PIMS hold ISO 27001
Primarily using IDEXX diagnostics? Works, but not deepest integration Cornerstone, Neo, or ezyVet for native IDEXX workflows
Need offline or mobile app? No native offline mode ezyVet Go or Instinct for offline mobile
Need controlled-substance logging? Requires VetSnap integration Platforms with native DEA logging or dedicated tools
Solo practice on tight budget? $249/month is midrange DaySmart Vet ($123/month) or Neo for lower entry points

US expansion: what to watch

Provet's January 2025 pilot with a 200+ location US veterinary group signals intent to compete seriously in North America. Key factors for US practices evaluating Provet:

  • Integration partnerships are expanding. Cubex (inventory cabinets), Weave (client communication), AllyDVM (marketing), and Zoetis are confirmed US integrations. The open API means additional integrations can be built by third parties.
  • VetSnap integration for controlled substances addresses the DEA compliance gap for US practices.
  • SignalPET integration provides AI radiology reads that push directly into Provet patient records — a feature currently available on only two PIMS platforms.
  • Month-to-month contracts reduce switching risk for US practices wary of long-term commitments with unfamiliar vendors.
