Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hippo Manager

  • Pricing is per user, so a practice with a rota of part-time technicians and relief veterinarians pays full seats for people who log in a few times a month.
  • Inpatient and treatment sheet workflows are lighter than in systems built for referral and emergency hospitals, which pushes overnight care onto paper.
  • The integration catalogue is short relative to the larger cloud platforms, so a practice with an existing imaging, communications or payment preference may find no connector.
  • Multi-location reporting is basic, which limits its usefulness to a group beyond a handful of sites that wants consolidated production figures.
  • As a browser only system it stops when the internet does, and a practice without a backup connection loses records, scheduling and invoicing at the same time.

Provet Cloud

  • Quote-only pricing, typically per user or per clinic, so budgeting requires a sales conversation
  • Cloud-only, so a connectivity failure stops consultations being recorded
  • Strongest in European markets, with less depth in some other regions’ requirements
  • Migrating clinical history from an existing system is a substantial project

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Hippo Manager: Is this veterinary software?

Yes. Hippo Manager is a veterinary practice management system for animal clinics, unrelated to similarly named products in other software categories.

Provet Cloud: What does Provet Cloud cost?

Pricing is quoted per practice, generally by user count and modules, and is not published.

Hippo Manager: How is it priced?

As a flat monthly fee per user with the feature set included, rather than a base licence plus paid modules.

Provet Cloud: Why do vets need different software from doctors?

A veterinary clinic is a medical provider, a pharmacy and a retailer at once. Treatment, dispensing and stock have to reconcile against a single visit, which human healthcare systems do not model.

Hippo Manager: Does it suit an emergency or referral hospital?

Not well. Inpatient workflow depth is limited and specialist practices should look at systems built for that setting.

Provet Cloud: Does it support multiple clinics?

Yes, multi-site groups are supported under one account.

Hippo Manager: Is there an on-premise version?

No. It is browser only, which means no server to maintain and no offline working.

Provet Cloud: What happens if the internet goes down?

It is cloud-only, so recording consultations depends on connectivity. Clinics generally plan a fallback for outages.
