Pet Clinic Software vs VETbuddy

VETbuddy is a cloud clinic system with a free tier for up to 500 clients and free migration, covering records, billing and reminders well.

Verdict: VETbuddy is a sensible free start for a very small client list that only needs records and billing. Pet Clinic Software suits clinics that run in-patients, boarding or farm visits and want WhatsApp-first reminders with flat rupee pricing. Based on public information as of October 2026; check with the vendor.

Choose Pet Clinic Software if…

  • You run a hospital or boarding, not only consultations

  • You visit farms or treat cattle

Choose VETbuddy if…

  • You have under 500 clients and want a free plan
