They are also a beta program, and allow customers to make suggestions > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can be frustrating with the limitations of the types of reports they offer to track revenue. If I want to track how many dental packages we do, we have to add up all the revenue ourselves. > > Overall a good program. I appreciate they have lots of training videos, and live support. It makes it easy training new employees. Overall user friendly as well ----- ### "Reporting issues" — 3.0/5 > **Faith** | *16 February 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a user friendly model, the financial reports are always accurate, the scheduling system is easy to use and customizable. > > **Cons**: It takes multiple steps to accomplish one task, the customer support lacks during the on board training, usage reports and inventory are not always accurate > > Outside of the management aspect, Pulse is easy to use. The reporting and inventory are the biggest hang ups for me. ----- ### "One of the Better Choices for a PIMS" — 4.0/5 > **Linda** | *17 February 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly and intuitive as compared to others considered. Excellent tech support who have vetmed background and understand the issue/question. > > **Cons**: Was not told only an outdated, unavailable Dymo printer was required or offered to purchase one until I made a frantic call prior to opening. Also requires a print server we were not informed of. Without a label writer handwritten labels for every medication would be required. This is a CRITICAL requirement that STILL has not been fixed. Many knowledge based articles are not current requiring a phone call to tech support. Handling of bug fixes in releases is not done efficiently. > > Overall it is a decent PIMS with some issues as most software have. A few critical issues are not being addressed. While tech support is wonderful, whomever is leaded the requirements build and release effort does NOT appear to be knowledgeable in vetmed and is therefore missing some key BUG fixes and easy enhancements that could allow Pulse to remain as a top competitor in the PIMS selection. There are many other competitors now and Covetrus does not have a good overall opinion in the field. ----- ### "Would recommend for smaller clinics" — 4.0/5 > **Deb** | *1 March 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of being able to real time chat with someone for any issues. Easy to learn. Click vs F keys or tabbing. > > **Cons**: Not being able to run some year end reports easily. There is no messing/emailing through the system for staff. To send phone messages or concerns etc. Still have to hand write these or type them up and print them and give them diretly. The full sign up to start using process is very lengthy. > > Works as intended, would prefer a way to send messages/emails through it. Easy to learn and get help. Support is typically great. The integrations need help, rapport, online pharmacy, microchip registration etc need help. System itself is great. Lacks year end reports. ----- ### "Stay away from Pulse by Covetrus" — 1.0/5 > **Melissa** | *28 November 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Covetrus pulse was supposed to be a plug-in play easy way to transition from cornerstone to a cloud based software, but it did not live up to the expectations. I honestly cannot think of one positive thing about the software and was relieved when we finally ended our contract with them. > > **Cons**: Covetrus pulse was bulky and hard to use, but even harder to set up. Our data migration from cornerstone came over in all the wrong categories and miss labeled support staff as doctors among other things. It was a headache and the support team at Covetrus was less than helpful. > > I wish I never chose the software and was embarrassed that this was the choice our company went with getting out of the contract was the best thing that we did. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/130107/covetrus-pulse?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/130107/covetrus-pulse) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
