Covetrus Customer Testimonial

We’ve been able to successfully navigate our way through the COVID19 pandemic in large part due to our shift towards a fully cloud-based practice management system. It’s helped us optimize our workflows, given us access to more meaningful, relevant data that we need, and streamlined our integrations and communications.
