[182 Pages Report] The Veterinary Practice Management Software Market size was estimated at USD 384.50 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 408.76 million in 2024, at a CAGR 6.65% to reach USD 603.64 million by 2030.
Veterinary practice management software aids in handling the day-to-day operations of a veterinary practice, including scheduling appointments, pet vaccinations, and genetic disease management. VPMS is used to streamline tasks, reduce redundant processes, and produce insightful business and operational reports in veterinary clinics and hospitals, which help in making better business decisions. The continuous digitization of veterinary care activities worldwide enables rapid adoption of veterinary practice management software (VPMS), allowing for maintaining animal health records, including data associated with disease prediction, prevention, monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. In addition, the rise in the number of zoonotic and chronic diseases in pets and livestock increases the need for efficient and comprehensive veterinary practice management software. However, technical limitations such as data migration from legacy systems, data privacy and security breaches, and glitches after software updates impeded the adoption of veterinary practice management software (VPMS). Nevertheless, the technological advancements in VPMS with AI and ML and the adoption of VPMS to streamline pet insurance activities are generating prospects for the growth of VPMS.
Product: Wide range of activities designed for integrated veterinary practice solutions to streamline and optimize the operations of veterinary facilities
Veterinary practice management software encompasses various solutions designed to enhance the efficiency and productivity of veterinary clinics. These solutions include appointment scheduling software, electronic medical records (EMR), integrated veterinary practice solutions, inventory management, and medical billing software. Appointment scheduling software simplifies the booking process for veterinary appointments, with key players such as Vetter Software, Time To Pet, and ezyVet offering customizable options and easy integration with existing systems. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) allow veterinary practices to securely store and access patient records digitally, focusing on interoperability, user-friendly interfaces, and regulatory compliance. Integrated veterinary practice solutions combine multiple features to optimize productivity in modern clinics. These solutions integrate various aspects of veterinary practice management, including EMR and laboratory information systems (LIS), into a single platform, enabling users to access critical information and perform essential tasks seamlessly.
Inventory management software helps Vet clinics maintain a supply of medications, vaccinations, food, treats, and other office consumables and find the optimal stock quantities. This functionality assists offices in creating purchase orders, tracking batches, and generating inventory reports. Medical billing software streamlines invoicing and payment processing tasks for veterinary practices while integrating with EMR systems. Moreover, vendors offer the ability to integrate other accounting or POS applications.
Practice Type: Preference for mixed animal practices owing to their flexibility to manage the needs of diverse animals
Large animal practices mainly cater to the veterinary needs of farm animals and livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. These practices require robust practice management software (PMS) to handle extensive client databases, treatment records, invoicing, and appointment scheduling for large-scale operations. Additionally, the software should include modules for herd health management, lab integration, digital imaging capabilities for diagnostics, and telemedicine support. Mixed animal practices provide services for small and large pet animals, such as dogs and cats, and farm animals, including cows and horses. The versatility of this software enables them to cater to diverse patient types while maintaining efficient practice management workflows. Small animal practices primarily cater to the needs of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and exotic animals. The major preference for PMS in these practices revolves around user-friendliness, efficient client communication tools, appointment scheduling, and EHR (Electronic Health Records) management. These software solutions focus on enhancing the client experience with features such as appointment reminders, mobile app integration for clients to access their pet’s medical records, and seamless payment processing options.
Deployment: Expanding developments in cloud-based VPMS to enable flexible operations
On-premise software is a locally maintained software that utilizes the veterinary practice’s in-house infrastructure and hardware to perform administrative tasks. In contrast, cloud-based software is stored and managed by the provider’s servers and accessed by the veterinary practice through a web-based interface. Existing on-premise practice management software equips staff personnel to schedule and view upcoming appointments and helps with billing and invoicing activities. On-premise systems offer limited personalization options, whereas cloud-based software provides enhanced customization of client services. Additionally, interactive dashboards, enhanced payment processing, and prescription management are provided by cloud-based platforms to streamline administrative operations. The rapidly increasing prevalence of smart clinics and hospitals has stimulated the growing adoption of cloud-based VPMS platforms.
End-User: Rising use of specialized practice management software for veterinary clinics & hospitals
Ambulatory surgical units refer to healthcare facilities equipped to conduct surgical procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay. These units need specialized practice management software to manage appointments, patient records, and billing while maintaining seamless communication with clients and referring veterinarians. Veterinary clinics provide primary healthcare services such as routine check-ups, vaccinations, dental care, and minor surgeries. Suitable practice management software solutions for clinics include user-friendly software with core functionalities, such as appointment scheduling, electronic medical records (EMR), inventory control, and invoicing. In contrast, veterinary hospitals offer an expansive scope of services, including radiology and laboratory tests, laser surgeries, ultrasounds, and intensive care facilities. Clinics largely utilize practice management software to manage appointments and queues, billing, and maintenance of health records. Software associated with pharmacy management is provided for pharmacies associated with clinics or hospitals. Referral or specialty veterinary practices offer expert consultations and advanced treatment options in specific areas such as oncology, cardiology, ophthalmology, or neurology for animals. These practices need highly customizable software solutions to cater to the unique requirements of the animal receiving treatment.
