NaVetor vs Vetstar

NaVetor is cloud-based veterinary practice management software from Patterson, with web, Android, and iOS access. Its real-time dashboard and live whiteboard bring together schedules, patient status, staff notes, and room assignments. The appointment calendar supports drag-and-drop, multiple doctors and rooms, recurring and blocked appointments, and automated reminders. SOAP records connect treatment plans, charge capture, and client communications. Video visits can start from a patient record, with notes, charges, and prescriptions handled in the same workflow. Practices can order tests and receive results through two-way IDEXX, Antech, and Zoetis integrations. Atlas, an AI assistant, can look up practice information, help with inventory and scheduling, draft client communications, create lists, and identify business insights. NaVetor says Atlas uses practice data without sharing it externally. Every plan includes unlimited storage, automatic backups, data conversion, training, and 90-day onboarding support. A 15-day trial and free plan tied to Patterson payment services are listed; paid plans start at $200/mo.

Vetstar is veterinary hospital and practice management software for appointments, patient records, billing, inventory, and referrals. It tracks medical records, treatment histories, and visits, and scheduling includes calendars, automated reminders, and referral workflows for external veterinarians or specialists. The integrated accounting package covers invoicing, statements, finance charges, taxes, aging analysis, and revenue reports, with connections to HISA and financial accounting systems. Practices can customize its PIMS architecture to match their business processes. Vetstar can run as a cloud-based application or be hosted locally; SANDI is its web interface for cloud-based applications. Client and referring-veterinarian portals provide secure access to relevant histories, invoices, and referrals, while detailed permission sets support real-time user administration. The maker describes one-on-one onboarding that includes data migration and setup for patient records, billing history, and inventory, plus training, support, regular feature updates, and new integrations. It is tailored to veterinary teaching hospitals, universities, and private practices. The platform is web and self-hosted, and pricing is available on request.
