The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Provet Cloud quote-only pricing, typically per user or per clinic, so budgeting requires a sales conversation; VIA Veterinary the vendor is owned by Mars Veterinary Health through Antech, the same group that owns Antech Diagnostics, Banfield and VCA, so a practice is buying its record system from its diagnostics supplier and its competitor in the consolidation market.
  • They diverge on capability: Provet Cloud covers Clinical records, VIA Veterinary covers Clinical flowsheets.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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

VIA Veterinary

  • The vendor is owned by Mars Veterinary Health through Antech, the same group that owns Antech Diagnostics, Banfield and VCA, so a practice is buying its record system from its diagnostics supplier and its competitor in the consolidation market.
  • No pricing is published at all, so licence, implementation, conversion, hardware and support costs all arrive through a sales process and cannot be compared against alternatives before you engage.
  • It remains substantially a Windows on-premises product with a cloud option layered on, so hardware, network and backup remain your operational problem in the traditional deployment.
  • Integration depth with IDEXX diagnostics is the obvious risk given the ownership, and a practice with in-house IDEXX analysers should test that path explicitly rather than assume parity with Antech.
  • The clinical emphasis means front-of-house and client engagement features, including online booking and marketing automation, tend to arrive through third-party integrations rather than natively.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

VIA Veterinary: Who owns VIA?

VIA Information Systems is an Antech company and part of Mars Veterinary Health, the group that also owns Antech Diagnostics, Banfield and VCA.

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.

No. Licence, implementation, conversion and support costs come only through a sales process.

Provet Cloud: Does it support multiple clinics?

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

VIA Veterinary: Can it run in the cloud?

Yes, VIA Cloud is offered alongside traditional on-premises installation, with cloud backup included.

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.

VIA Veterinary: What kind of practice is it built for?

Medically intensive practices: emergency, specialty, referral, equine and multi-doctor small animal hospitals where flowsheets and whiteboards drive the day.
