Why people pick CovePet
Pets get sick between visits, and it’s hard to remember the details in the exam room. With CovePet, you write one sentence and it fills in the date and the details. You can add a photo of the rash, or a video of the episode on CovePet Pro. Then you hand your vet one page. On CovePet Pro, everyone who looks after your pet can add 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.
