Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Provet Cloud: What does Provet Cloud cost?
Pricing is quoted per practice, generally by user count and modules, and is not published.
Covetrus Pulse: What does Covetrus Pulse cost?
Pricing is quoted per practice and not published.
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.
Covetrus Pulse: What makes it different?
Covetrus is an animal-health distributor and pharmacy, so prescription fulfilment and home delivery sit inside the same company rather than behind an integration.
Provet Cloud: Does it support multiple clinics?
Yes, multi-site groups are supported under one account.
Covetrus Pulse: Is the supply relationship a concern?
It is worth deciding deliberately. The convenience is real, and so is tying your clinical system to a distributor you also buy from.
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.
