Vetcove

We are a technology company, founded in 2015, that provides an eCommerce and mobile platform for veterinarians to purchase supplies.

Our platform serves over 23,000 veterinary hospitals across all 50 states. This includes general practices, emergency and specialty clinics, SPCAs, zoos, aquariums, veterinary consolidators, small animal clinics, cat exclusives, equine and farm practices, exotic animal hospitals, parks, and academic teaching hospitals. Hundreds of nonprofit organizations, shelter systems, and rescue organizations also use our platform.

We streamline purchasing by letting users shop from all major veterinary suppliers in one place. Users can compare real-time pricing and availability, access special and GPO pricing, and easily manage supplier carts and checkout. We also offer home delivery e-commerce for pet parents and a practice management system. We aim to help veterinary organizations reduce ordering time and costs, manage inventory, and make purchasing more transparent. As of 2024, our platform supports purchasing and supply chain operations for most general practices, emergency and specialty clinics, SPCAs, zoos, aquariums, and veterinary consolidators in America. The core platform is free for veterinary clinics and nonprofits.

Our mission is to provide a fair and ethical marketplace for veterinary purchasing. We help organizations manage inventory more easily.

We are committed to making inventory easier, faster, and cheaper for our users.

We operate under a Code of Ethics with these commitments:

• Keep it Free: Our core platform remains free and accessible to all veterinary organizations.
• Put Vets First: We prioritize the interests of independent veterinarians and their staff in all strategic decisions.
• Display All Data: We provide comprehensive and unbiased product information.
• Exclude No Supplier: We do not exclude any supplier, manufacturer, or diagnostic laboratory from our catalog unless legally or ethically required, or if they cease to exist.
• Keep Pricing Private: We never share pricing data between suppliers and buyers publicly, even if de-identified.
• Treat Suppliers Fairly: We do not promote one supplier over another for equivalent products.
• Remove No Suppliers: We do not remove suppliers from the catalog without a court order, unless due to acquisition, insolvency, or if it is in the veterinary community’s best interest.
• Rank Products Fairly: We rank products based on merit, community sentiment, popularity, reviews, and manufacturer involvement.
• Disallow Dollar Bullying: Our services prevent larger manufacturers from gaining superior competitive positioning at the expense of smaller ones.
• Police Product Reviews: We ensure the authenticity of reviews and only remove them under specific circumstances.
• Encourage Discussion: We promote respectful discourse among users in all community features.
• Use Data Responsibly: We use aggregated data to improve user experience and benefit the veterinary community. We do not share personally identifiable or pricing data without explicit permission.
