Alongside your software
Covetrus Pulse with viggoVet
Add viggoVet's clinical AI to your Covetrus Pulse practice, an AI in the surgery, dental, and mobile settings, alongside the Pulse you already run. Anesthesia, dental, and remote booking, live now.
The AI in the room, veterinary AI that shows up where the work happens: surgery, dental, and the road, alongside the Covetrus Pulse you already run.
Key takeaways
- viggoVet puts an AI in the rooms of your practice, surgery, dental, treatment, and the road, working alongside the Covetrus Pulse you already run.
- It started with one question: a veterinarian asked what an AI in the room would do. So we asked it in every room, and built the AI that acts there.
- Live now: AI Anesthesia Assist, AI Dental Chart, and AI Remote Booking.
- Covetrus Pulse stays your practice-operations system, records, scheduling, billing, client communication, and its own built-in AI. viggoVet adds the in-the-room clinical AI on top.
- Coming soon: VetEvince (evidence-based clinical answers) and the AI Drug Formulary.
The idea: an AI in the room
A veterinarian once asked us a simple question: if there were an AI in the room right now, what would it be? Most veterinary software was busy elsewhere, running the front desk or transcribing notes. So we went room by room through the clinic and asked what an AI would actually do in each one.
That is what viggoVet is: the AI that shows up in the room and acts. It runs alongside your Covetrus Pulse practice, Pulse keeps doing what it does well, and viggoVet brings the clinical AI into the moments that matter most.
In the surgery room: AI Anesthesia Assist
Anesthesia carries some of the highest stakes of the veterinary day, and it is exactly where an extra pair of eyes helps most. AI Anesthesia Assist reads each vitals entry against the patient's full history and returns a stability or risk indication with a guideline-based comment in about 10 to 30 seconds, advisory decision-support that helps the team catch trouble earlier. It is built to make the riskiest moment of the day meaningfully safer. It is decision-support, not a monitor or alarm; the veterinarian stays in control of every call.
In the dental suite: AI Dental Chart
The hardest part of a dental is often the conversation, not the procedure. AI Dental Chart turns your charting into the reports vets need daily, including the plain-language explanation that helps an owner understand the finding and say yes to treatment, along with prognosis and the dental documentation that usually eats the evening.
On the road: AI Remote Booking
For mobile and ambulatory practice, viggoVet arranges the day by travel distance, so the route is efficient and the vet gets home sooner with less driving. It captures the information uploaded during booking, so the visit starts with the file already in hand.
What is Covetrus Pulse, and what is it genuinely good at?
Covetrus Pulse is Covetrus's cloud-based veterinary practice-management system, used by companion-animal practices that want records, scheduling, billing, and client communication in one connected platform, tied into Covetrus's wider ecosystem of prescription management, supply ordering, and client engagement. Covetrus is one of the largest animal-health companies in the profession, and Pulse benefits from that reach.
Credit where it's due: Pulse handles the operational core of the practice and the commerce around it, the visit, the invoice, the script, the follow-up, and does it inside one ecosystem. viggoVet builds on that foundation rather than getting in its way.
What does Covetrus Pulse's AI do?
Covetrus builds an AI layer directly into Pulse, offered, in the company's own words, as "now free in Pulse", designed to save documentation and communication time across the appointment. Its features run along the patient journey:
- Pre-Visit Summaries, surface key patient information before the appointment.
- Scribe, automatic listening, transcription, and editable SOAP notes for review.
- Plans, analyzes the clinician's exam notes to identify potential care options.
- Scripts, generates easy-to-order recommendations emailed to the client.
- Post-Visit Summaries, a client-facing recap that keeps owners informed.
- Aftercare, combines Scripts, Scribe, and Summaries into one process.
- Assist, a chat-based assistant for scheduling and reminders (in development).
This is genuinely useful, and it is the right kind of AI for a practice system to build: summarize the history, draft the note, propose care options from the exam notes, and keep the owner in the loop. It is administrative and communication-focused by design, the suite documents the visit and the commerce around it. The clinical work in the room, anesthesia, dental, treatment planning, and mobile logistics, is a different job, and it is the job viggoVet does.
What viggoVet adds to a Covetrus Pulse practice
viggoVet is the actionable clinical AI in the room, working alongside everything Pulse already does:
- AI Anesthesia Assist, advisory, real-time anesthesia decision-support (a second set of eyes, not a monitor or alarm).
- AI Dental Chart, the owner-consent explanation, prognosis, and dental reports vets need daily.
- AI Remote Booking, a mobile day arranged by travel distance, with booking information captured up front.
- All species, multiple languages, beyond companion-animal general practice, and beyond one language.
Document scanning runs at about 99.3% accuracy, and viggoVet is an open platform other veterinary tools can build on, one place for the tools a practice wants, rather than a scatter of disconnected apps. A practice's data stays its own: encrypted, held in its region, and shared only on the permissions it grants.
How Covetrus Pulse and viggoVet divide the work
The two operate at different layers of the practice, which is why they work well together. This is a division of labor, not a face-off:
The practice-operations layer, Covetrus Pulse | The in-the-room clinical AI, viggoVet (added on top) |
|---|---|
Records, scheduling, billing, client communication | Surgery: AI Anesthesia Assist (advisory) |
Prescription management and supply ordering | Dental: AI Dental Chart and owner-consent reports |
Built-in AI: pre/post-visit summaries, scribe, scripts | Mobile: AI Remote Booking by travel distance |
Runs the practice and its commerce day to day | Acts in the clinical moments, room by room |
Together: Covetrus Pulse runs the practice; viggoVet is the AI in the rooms. |

Does adding viggoVet change how your team uses Covetrus Pulse?
No. Your team keeps working in Pulse exactly as they do today, and turns to viggoVet in the rooms where its AI helps. Adding the clinical-AI layer does not change your Pulse setup, records, or workflows, it works on top of them.
Your data stays yours, encrypted, held in your region, and shared only on the permissions you grant. viggoVet does not train its models on your data.
What's coming next
viggoVet keeps adding to what the in-room AI can do. Coming soon: VetEvince, evidence-based clinical answers with the published research cited on each response, and the AI Drug Formulary, patient-aware dosing and interaction checks across 1,300+ medications and 8,000+ interactions.
FAQ
How does viggoVet work with Covetrus Pulse? viggoVet adds an in-the-room clinical AI that runs alongside your Covetrus Pulse practice. Your team keeps using Pulse for records, scheduling, client communication, and billing, and turns to viggoVet in the surgery, dental, treatment, and mobile settings where its AI acts.
Does adding viggoVet change my Covetrus Pulse setup or workflows? No. viggoVet works on top of what you already run. Your Pulse records and workflows stay exactly as they are; your team simply uses viggoVet in the rooms where it helps.
What can viggoVet do today? AI Anesthesia Assist (advisory decision-support during procedures), AI Dental Chart (owner-consent reports, prognosis, and dental documentation), and AI Remote Booking (arranging a mobile day by travel distance). VetEvince and the AI Drug Formulary are coming soon.
Is the anesthesia feature a monitor? No. AI Anesthesia Assist is advisory clinical decision-support. At each vitals entry it surfaces a stability or risk indication with a guideline-based comment for the veterinarian to review. It is not a monitor, alarm, or medical device, and the veterinarian makes every decision.
How is this different from Covetrus Pulse's AI? Pulse's AI is administrative and communication-focused, pre- and post-visit summaries, an ambient scribe, care-option Plans drawn from the exam notes, and client Scripts. viggoVet acts in the clinical moment itself: anesthesia, dental, and mobile logistics today, with evidence-cited answers and a drug formulary coming.
Is my clinical data safe? Your data stays yours: encrypted, held in your region, and shared only on the permissions you grant. viggoVet does not train its models on your data.
