Instead of RxWorks

Leaving RxWorks? Make the next system one your practice owns.

Enterprise DNA builds your version around the way your vets, nurses and front desk already work, brings your RxWorks clients and patients across, and keeps it running for you every month.

Covetrus publishes no price for RxWorks. The product page offers a demo with a product specialist.

What RxWorks is charging for

Two decades of modules wrapped around the same clinic records

RxWorks has been sold to practices for more than 20 years as standard modules plus optional extras. Strip the modules back and you find what every clinic keeps: clients, animals, consults, stock, recalls and invoices. That is the part worth keeping, and the part Enterprise DNA moves into a database held in your practice's name.

extension

Standard modules, then enhanced ones

Covetrus lists a standard set, then enhanced modules and Practice Plus as add-ons. Recall Manager, Insurance Manager, Laboratory Manager and kiosks each sit somewhere on that list.

request_quote

A demo before any number

The RxWorks page has a demo request form and no figure. A practice owner cannot see what the clinic down the road pays without asking.

swap_horiz

A vendor with a newer product to move you to

Covetrus also sells Ascend, its cloud system, and invites RxWorks practices to book time to move across. If a migration is coming either way, it is worth choosing where your records end up.

local_shipping

Software tied into a supplier

Covetrus Delivery drop-ships food and parasiticides to pet owners from inside RxWorks. Useful, and also a reminder that the company keeping your records also sells into your practice.

hub

Connections through one platform

Diagnostics, online booking and payments come in through Covetrus Connect partners.

help

No word on taking your history out

The product and support pages cover demos, phone lines and remote access. Neither says how a practice exports its full clinical history if it leaves, so ask before you need it.

What your practice gets

Every module's job, in one record you hold

Recalls

Reminders that turn into phone calls

What RxWorks sells as Recall Manager is a question you ask: who is due, who is late, and who has nothing booked.

  • check Overdue vaccinations come back as a call sheet with each owner's number, longest overdue first
  • check Patients already booked in are marked, so nobody rings an owner who is coming on Thursday
  • check Animals that have stopped coming in are ranked by how much they have spent with you over the years
  • check Change a vaccination interval or reminder rule by describing it, with no module to buy

Stock

Stocktake and the drug book, side by side

Stock levels, batches and the controlled drug register live in the same records, so a count settles both.

  • check Batches expiring in the next two months are listed with what they would sell for
  • check An expired batch cannot be dispensed, and a restricted medicine goes out only under a vet's consult
  • check Every controlled drug receipt, dose and witnessed disposal is written with a running balance that cannot be edited later
  • check Compare the register with a shelf count drug by drug, and any gap leads the day's list

Clinical work

Consults that finish complete

The appointment book and the consult room share one record, and each step checks the last.

  • check A vet whose practising certificate has run out cannot be given appointments
  • check Surgery and dental work need consent recorded before the consult can be closed
  • check Closing a consult needs clinical notes, and the invoice builds from what was charged during it
  • check Anything finished but never invoiced is named, with how many days it has been waiting

Reporting

Any question, not just the built-in reports

Ask in plain English and get the answer, without building a custom report first.

  • check Which owners keep missing appointments, and what those empty slots cost this quarter
  • check Which patients' weight has shifted between visits with nothing noted about it
  • check Owner statements, vaccination certificates and the drug register printed in your clinic's own branding
  • check The whole team works from the same records, with no extra charge for a new nurse or locum

Switching

How to switch from RxWorks

A move involves requesting a full export, mapping RxWorks columns, checking the imported records, and running both systems side by side before you stop using RxWorks.

  1. 1

    Request your records

    Ask Covetrus support for a full export of your clients, patients, vaccinations and history early. RxWorks materials do not specify the export route, so export what your account allows, and check with RxWorks support about what is available. Decide which history your staff need before requesting the export.

  2. 2

    Map and load the records

    Match RxWorks columns to the fields in Vet Clinic for Claude Code, then load the client and animal records. Include vaccination and other history where the available export and mapping support it. Start with a test run if your import setup offers one. Check the mapping before loading the full set of records.

  3. 3

    Review the import findings

    Check what the import flags before staff rely on the new records. Look for missing owners, animals without an owner in the export, and missing details such as a dog's microchip record. Review any other gaps the import identifies, then decide whether to correct the source records, update the export or record the missing information in the new system.

  4. 4

    Run both systems briefly

    Keep RxWorks available while staff check the new records and get used to working in Vet Clinic for Claude Code. Compare the records and daily work your clinic depends on, including clients, patients, consults, recalls, stock and invoices. Use this short period to find gaps or mapping problems, and resolve them before you stop entering work in RxWorks.

  5. 5

    Switch off RxWorks

    Once you have checked the records and staff can work in the new system, stop using RxWorks for day-to-day clinic work. Before ending your RxWorks account, confirm with Covetrus what access and export arrangements you need to keep. Retain the exported records you need for your clinic's own reference and recordkeeping.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The main work is mapping your RxWorks fields to the new records, deciding which clinic rules need to carry over, and choosing how much vaccination and clinical history to bring across. If you have Enterprise DNA run the setup, they handle the RxWorks mapping and import work with you. Decide what history staff need before requesting the export.

Questions

Instead of RxWorks, answered

Covetrus wants us on Ascend. Why not just do that? expand_more

You can. Either way your records move to a new system. The difference is where they end up: with Ascend they sit with Covetrus on a subscription it prices. With your own version they sit in a database in your practice's name, and the price is the one you agreed with us.

Can our RxWorks records come across? expand_more

Yes, with mapping. The free version reads client and animal exports from another practice system, and matching an RxWorks export to it is part of what Enterprise DNA does. Ask Covetrus support for a full export of clients, patients, vaccinations and history early.

We use the lab, insurance and SMS modules. What happens to those? expand_more

The free version records results and messages that staff enter. It does not connect to lab machines or insurers out of the box. When Enterprise DNA builds your version, we connect the ones your clinic actually uses and leave the rest out.

Who do we call when something breaks? expand_more

On the free version, you fix it or ask Claude Code. On the version Enterprise DNA runs, you call us: we look after it month to month, as part of the retainer.

Is the controlled drug register good enough for an inspection? expand_more

It records every receipt, dose and witnessed disposal with a running balance, and checks itself against a shelf count when asked. How you store, hold and destroy drugs is still your practice's responsibility, and nothing here is legal advice.

Before you move off RxWorks, see what owning it looks like

30 minutes with Sam. Tell us which RxWorks modules your team uses and what Covetrus charges you. We show you what your own system would hold and how the records would come across. If it fits, we build it. If not, the free version is yours to run.
