Veterinary survey respondents in North America
report that Covetrus Pulse is simple to use and saves time amid
worker shortages and burnout.
Covetrus Pulse™ saves time and is easy to implement, finds a new
customer survey by Covetrus® (NASDAQ: CVET), a global leader in
animal-health technology and services.
Among survey respondents reporting time savings, Pulse saved an
average of 3 hours per work week. Practice managers who reported
gains said Pulse saved them an average of 45 minutes daily. The
cumulative effect of this time saved results in a more efficient
and profitable practice.
Covetrus surveyed 2,500 practices in North America that have
used Pulse since January 2022 to learn about their experiences with
the new technology.
Pulse is an innovative cloud-based veterinary operating system
(vOS) that seamlessly connects veterinarians to the technology they
need to optimize their operations amid workforce challenges and a
drumbeat of demand.
Nearly two-thirds of customers surveyed reported that Pulse is
easy to implement, use and train staff on, according to study
results. Findings remained strong across various job roles. Seven
in 10 front-of-office respondents agreed that Pulse was easy to use
and easy to train team members to use.
“We are thrilled to see our customers reap time and efficiency
gains with Pulse, which we engineered to be a game-changer for
veterinary practices,” said Benjamin Wolin, President and CEO of
Covetrus. “While similar technology exists in the human health
space, it is our distinct honor to be the first to deliver such a
comprehensive and much-needed solution to veterinarians in North
America. We look forward to seeing Covetrus Pulse continue to help
veterinarians optimize their operations, making it easier for them
and their staff to keep up with the ever-growing demand for their
services.”
Pulse was designed to address a clear need among today’s
veterinary teams for time savings. When asked, 94% of veterinarians
surveyed by Covetrus in April 2021 said they struggle to find
enough time to get things done. But with Covetrus Pulse, a practice
can increase efficiency up to 10 percent1 and give veterinarians
the ability to see more patients and stay on schedule, which can
lead to improved work-life balance.
"Covetrus Pulse combines everything I need in one place, saving
around 30 minutes per day,” said Dr. Stacy Enke, DVM and practice
owner, Martinez Animal Hospital in Martinez, Calif. “The time
savings really adds up, allowing us to see more patients but also
to stay on schedule, which is critical to delivering a good
customer experience. With the high demand for our services and
hectic days for our team, we are thrilled to have this new
technology that is so easy to use and that is helping us to manage
our workloads and deliver great care to our patients both during
their visit and when they get home."
A first-of-its-kind program, Pulse drives efficiencies by
consolidating the applications practices rely on for day-to-day
operations into an all-in-one integrated system. With its
user-friendly design and cloud-based accessibility, Covetrus Pulse
arrives just in time to meet the urgent needs of a veterinary
community that is stretched to capacity.
“Pulse not only saves valuable time in a practice’s busy day,
but it’s also incredibly easy for all team members to use — from
check-in at the front desk to the exam room and beyond,” said
Georgia Wraight, Executive Vice President and President of Global
Technology Solutions at Covetrus. “As Covetrus Pulse transitions to
the marketplace, we expect to see its demonstrated ability to save
time and gain efficiencies will directly address rising burnout and
help veterinary teams do more of what they love, which is to
provide the best possible care for their patients.”

North America. For more information, please visit
