What the engines said
For a large, multi-doctor veterinary hospital, ezyVet would be my first system to evaluate, especially if you have hospitalization, emergency care, or multiple specialties.
Provet Cloud, a strong alternative if your hospital is part of a multi-site group or you have particularly complex inventory and centralized operations needs.
Opinions on Reddit's veterinary community are mixed: some users find modern cloud platforms like ezyVet vastly superior for scaling, while others note that transitioning large teams requires dedicated, multi-week staff training.
If your multi-doctor hospital bleeds revenue from missed treatments or untracked injectable medications, Instinct's predictive billing and error-prevention mechanics are unmatched.
