CovePet vs PetDesk

Why people pick CovePet
Pets get sick between visits, and the details fade by the exam room. Write one sentence and CovePet fills in the date and details. Add a photo of the rash, or a video of the episode on CovePet Pro. Then hand your vet one page. On CovePet Pro, everyone who looks after your pet adds to the same record.
When PetDesk makes sense
If your clinic uses PetDesk, keep it for booking and refills. CovePet covers what happens in between.
What about Vet2Pet, Chckvet, or PetsApp?
They’re clinic apps like PetDesk, for booking, refills, and messages, and they only work if your clinic signs up. Chckvet used to be called Chckup. CovePet works with any of them.
