Veterinary software systems come with different value-added features such as treatment plans, SOAP notes, increasing productivity, communicating with clients, and advanced reporting[3].

The growth of the veterinary software market can be attributed to the rise in demand for veterinary software, increasing pet adoption, growing awareness regarding the benefits of the use of software solutions, and an increasing number of veterinary practitioners[1][2][5][6].

The cost of veterinary software varies greatly depending on the type and complexity of the software, as well as the size of the veterinary practice.

For practice management software, the cost typically starts at around $100 per month per user or location and can range to over $200 per month. Some vendors may require a minimum contract commitment of two to three years, and there may be additional fees for setup and training[2]. For example, software like PetDesk starts at $199 per month[16], and other platforms like ezyVet cost around $199 per month[7]. Some platforms base their pricing on the number of veterinary practices and the number of vets that will use the platform, with prices starting at $220 per month[11].

Imaging software, on the other hand, can be significantly more expensive due to the high cost of the equipment required. For instance, the cost of veterinary digital radiography systems can range between $25,000 and $50,000[3]. The average cost of veterinary x-ray equipment packages can range from $26,000 to $70,000, depending on the type of system[6]. A CT machine can cost upwards of $500,000, depending on the number of slices the machine produces[12]. MRI machines can cost from $250,000 to $2 million, depending on the quality of the scanner[14].

It’s important to note that these costs can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the size of the practice, the specific needs of the practice, and the features offered by the software. Additionally, there may be other costs to consider, such as the cost of any necessary hardware, maintenance and replacement costs, server, security, backup, and database costs[4].
