COVETRUS® VETSUITE® DRIVES $30M+ IN SAVINGS FOR INDEPENDENT VETERINARY PRACTICES ACROSS THE U.S.

Now serving 1 in 10 companion animal veterinarians nationwide, the VetSuite network helps practices compete, grow, and win in today's marketplace.

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Covetrus^®, a global leader in animal health technology and services, today announced that its pioneering VetSuite^® network for independent veterinary practices has delivered more than $30 million in realized savings since launching in 2024. Now serving 1 in 10 companion animal veterinarians nationwide, VetSuite is the first practice improvement network built specifically to help independent clinics succeed. Members gain access to shared cost savings and integrated tools that equip them to boost revenue, drive efficiency, and strengthen their ability to compete with mass-market retail—all while preserving the care and community that set them apart.

In a climate of rising costs, labor shortages, and intensifying competition, VetSuite was designed to give practices the resources and support they need to thrive. Member clinics report a 25% higher profit margin than non-members, fueled by smarter workflows, lower supply costs through collective buying power, and stronger client engagement enhanced by personalized, practice-branded communications.

"Prior to working with Covetrus and becoming a VetSuite member, one of our biggest challenges was the sheer number of vendors we had to manage," said Cole Grieves, Business Manager at Candlewood Veterinary Clinic. "VetSuite is a one-stop shop, giving us the ability to consolidate and streamline our operations."

The VetSuite network also helps drive measurable gains in productivity and client loyalty. Practices that automatically sync orders between their Covetrus Pulse^® practice management software and Covetrus vRxPro^® online pharmacy solution report saving an average of 50 hours per month, freeing up valuable time to focus on patients instead of paperwork. Members have experienced a 30% increase in use of their online storefronts, with 78% of clients returning for repeat purchases. And clinics harnessing vRxPro's full capabilities, such as customized marketing and automated prescription reminders, reported a 75% increase in online prescription revenue—enabling them to compete directly with national retailers while staying true to the local care pet parents trust.

"Successful and financially flourishing veterinarians play an integral role in animal health," said Ben Wolin, President and CEO at Covetrus. "VetSuite is about building a sustainable future for veterinary practices. By combining technology, scale, and partnership, we're helping them strengthen their businesses, deepen relationships with pet parents, and continue delivering exceptional care for their patients."
