VetFM

VetFM is practice management software for veterinary clinics, designed for Apple computers and iOS devices. It is built on FileMaker and runs from a database the practice controls, rather than a cloud service. The developers describe themselves as an independent Apple-focused team.

What VetFM offers

• Patient records — visit-based medical records with SOAP notes, standard diagnostic codes and images.
• Scheduling — views that create clients, patients, visits and reminders automatically.
• Reminders and forms — graphical reminders, including by email and text message.
• Billing and stock — invoices, inventory and automated purchase orders, with an audit trail for financial control.
• Other modules — boarding, grooming, kennel management and dictation with a medical dictionary.
• iOS tools — iPhone and iPad features, including capturing photos and video straight into records.

Who it works with

Small and large companion animal practices, equine and large animal vets, mobile practices and specialists in areas such as rehabilitation and oncology. Customers are in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
