## Reviews

### "Great online pharmacy" — 5.0/5

> **Zoe** | *24 June 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform is very easy to navigate for clients and staff, and they offer good promotions for clients while not harming your bottom line
> 
> **Cons**: Compounded medications are outsourced to Wedgewood which increases cost to the client and fulfillment times. Integration with Pulse practice software is a little disorganized. It will import with a default time of 12am which can be confusing when following up with clients.
> 
> Vetcove is very straight forward with low fees. Implementing the software was easy and customer support was very attentive and has been for follow up questions. The online pharmacy is very customizable and allows you to remove medications you don't recommend. You can easily send clients a link to check out and with recommended products or prescriptions.

### "VetCove Procurement System" — 5.0/5

> **Kyra** | *11 March 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that it centralizes all the vendors that we use in one location so there is not a need to sign in to all the different vendor’s websites to do our ordering.
> 
> **Cons**: There isn’t anything that I dislike\! VetCove has been super easy to use for our clinic\!
> 
> Very positive\! I don’t know that I could have managed ordering and inventory without it.

### "Vetcove failed to deliver my cat's food on time - do not use them for urgent needs" — 1.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *2 August 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The website was easy to use, but that's about it. I am displeased with their communication and failure to deliver on shipping promises.
> 
> **Cons**: Uncommunicative - nonexistent customer support&#10;Failure to deliver on arrival time promises for time-sensitive pet prescriptions
> 
> My vet's office recently began requiring pet parents to order from Vetcove to ship their pets' prescriptions to their home, as opposed to Chewy or similar online pharmacies. I ordered on Saturday July 26. My vet's office approved in the morning of Monday July 28. The product did not even ship until the evening of Friday August 1 AFTER I followed up via email, and it will not arrive until Tuesday August 5th (a week and a half after I ordered, and outside of their 1-5 day arrival promise). There was no response to my email requesting an update on my order. &#10;&#10;Vetcove misleadingly promises food will arrive within 1-5 days, but this is the actual shipping time. They make no mention of their processing time. Evidently, that processing time is not included in their arrival estimate time. For my order, the processing time was 5 business days in addition to the 1-5 days for ground shipping.&#10;&#10;During this time, my cat ran out of his prescription food. Vetcove claims to compete with Chewy in terms of user experience. Chewy would have had our food here within 3 days of ordering. Thankfully, we were able to get the food from our vet's office at an increased price. Do not use Vetcove for anything remotely urgent or time-sensitive. It's unacceptable to take so long to send pet prescriptions with absolutely no communication. &#10;&#10;My vet now charges a processing fee in order to send prescriptions to Chewy as opposed to Vetcove, which I will happily pay if it means I never have to rely on Vetcove again. They are unreliable, uncommunicative, and do not fulfill their shipping promises when shipping direct to pet parents.

### "Veterinary hospital ordering made easy" — 5.0/5

> **Kari** | *7 February 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has greatly simplified managing hospital inventory and keeping costs more manageable.
> 
> **Cons**: My one wish list item is a favorites tab on the drop down menu options.
> 
> Vetcove has helped me save so much time doing hospital ordering because I can link all my suppliers in one place and compare prices. I also love that I don't have to go to multiple sites for checkout, all my carts are in one place.

### "Mount Carmel Animal Hospital" — 5.0/5

> **Carolyn** | *19 August 2022* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Vetcove was a game changer for me as inventory manager at my veterinary hospital. I am able to price shop and check backorders for every distributor all at the same time. I can also easily find alternatives for backordered items. We are part of a buying group and therefore get discounts on many products. Vetcove shows both the "regular" retail price and the discounted price, which is very helpful when pricing out items. You can also purchase directly from Vetcove rather than going to each individual website. I don't utilize that feature as I place my orders through our PIMS, but on the rare occasions I do shop online, it is very helpful. They also seem to be adding distributors on a regular basis, widening the possibilities.
> 
> **Cons**: I have found on rare occasions that the prices on Vetcove are not accurate. I'm unsure if that is due to a delay in reflecting price increases or is limited to one manufacturer (specifically Zoetis) in particular? With that particular manufacturer, I am typically using Vetcove more for backorders as they do annual price increases and I don't worry about regularly changing prices.
> 
> Vetcove was a wonderful addition to my daily routine. It vastly decreased the amount of time I spend researching and processing inventory. Inventory purchases are so much more efficient since I started using Vetcove. Absolutely love it\!
