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; RxWorks it is a legacy line inside Covetrus, which promotes Pulse as its strategic cloud product, so the practical question is not capability but how long the system will be supported and on what notice.
  • They diverge on capability: Provet Cloud covers Clinical records, RxWorks covers Multi-site group operation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 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

RxWorks

  • It is a legacy line inside Covetrus, which promotes Pulse as its strategic cloud product, so the practical question is not capability but how long the system will be supported and on what notice.
  • It is a Windows server product, so the group carries hardware, database, patching and backup costs that never appear in the software quotation.
  • Its relevance is regional: outside Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom the installed base and the support and consultant network are thin, which matters for a group expanding into new markets.
  • Remote and mobile working is poor compared with cloud systems, which is a growing problem as groups centralise administration and clinicians expect record access away from the practice.
  • The eventual migration off it will be a full data conversion with retraining across every site, and at group scale that project cost should be modelled now rather than treated as a future problem.

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.

RxWorks: Should a new practice adopt RxWorks today?

Generally no, unless you are joining a group that already runs it. A new independent practice should be evaluating cloud systems instead.

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.

RxWorks: Is it still supported?

Covetrus supports it, but Pulse is the stated strategic product. Ask for the support commitment and the end-of-life notice period as written contract terms.

Provet Cloud: Does it support multiple clinics?

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

RxWorks: Where is it actually used?

Mostly Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, heavily within corporate practice groups. It has very little presence in the United States.

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.

RxWorks: What does migration off it involve?

A full clinical and financial data conversion per site plus retraining. At group scale that is a programme of work, not a weekend.
