Instead of VetlinkPRO
Waiting on a VetlinkPRO quote? Own your vet practice system.
Enterprise DNA builds your clinic its own version around the way your team books, treats, boards and bills, moves your VetlinkPRO clients and animals across, and keeps it running for you. One setup fee and a retainer you know up front.
VetlinkPRO does not publish its prices. Clinics request a demo and receive a private quote, for cloud hosting or an on-premise install.

What the quote pays for
A VetlinkPRO quote buys access to records your clinic already created
Clients, patients, bookings, consult notes, vaccinations, charges, stock and the drug register are the heart of it. VetlinkPRO wraps them in a long module list and prices the package privately, so the only way to compare is to ask them.
A price you cannot see in advance
There is no pricing page. You book a demo, then a quote arrives for your clinic, which makes it hard to know whether the clinic down the road pays the same.
A long list of modules around the core
Hotel bookings for cattery and kennel, loyalty, marketing, the general ledger, accounts payable, telemedicine and the business activity monitor all sit on the feature list. Ask which ones your quote includes.
Separate products for payments and apps
Payment links run through VetlinkPAY, powered by VostroPay. The pet owner app, the mobile app and note transcription are listed as their own products beside the main system.
Hosting as a choice they make for you
Cloud hosted or on-premise are the two options.
Questions that cut across records
Which recalls lapsed with no booking, which finished consults were never charged, whether the ketamine balance matches the shelf: a question that joins records depends on what the reports cover.
No word on getting your records out
The site talks about changing over to VetlinkPRO and about cloud backups. It says nothing about how a clinic takes its full history with it when it leaves.
What you get instead
One practice record, owned by the practice, asked in plain English
Front desk
Bookings and recalls the receptionist can just ask about
The appointment book and the vaccine recall list in one place, with the checks a busy desk forgets on a Monday.
- check A vet whose practising certificate has lapsed cannot be booked for that day
- check Ask who is overdue a vaccination with nothing booked, and get a call sheet with phone numbers
- check A past appointment left open, never marked done, cancelled or a no-show, keeps showing up until someone closes it
- check No-shows are kept with their reason, so you can see which owners keep missing and what it cost in chair time
Treatment room
Consults that end with notes, consent and a charge
Charging happens during the consult, and finishing it checks the things the Veterinary Council and the drug rules care about.
- check No consult closes without clinical notes, and no surgery or dental closes without consent recorded
- check Restricted medicines are dispensed only inside a vet's consult, and an expired batch is refused
- check A controlled drug dispensed in the consult writes its register line at the same moment
- check Every finished consult with no invoice is listed by vet and by age, before it turns into a write-off
The register
A controlled drug register that checks itself against the shelf
Receipts, dispensing and witnessed disposals, kept in order with a running balance that cannot be quietly edited.
- check Ask whether the register matches the shelf count, drug by drug, any time of the day
- check A mismatch goes to the top of the attention list with what to do today
- check A compliance check names expired certificates, unconsented procedures, expired batches and unchipped dogs, each with its rule
- check The register, vaccination certificates, statements and patient histories come out under your clinic's name and logo
Owned
The practice owns the data and decides the next change
Plain records in a database you choose, and changes made by describing them, not by requesting a quote for a module.
- check Add a field, a protocol or a new report by asking for it in a sentence
- check Rank the patients who stopped coming by what they used to spend
- check Open-source licence: nothing to renew, no vendor deciding when you can leave
- check Every vet, nurse and receptionist works from the same records at no cost per person

Switching
How to switch from VetlinkPRO
A move involves exporting your client and animal records, matching VetlinkPRO’s columns to the new system, checking the import, and confirming your records before you switch.
- 1
Export your records
Ask VetlinkPRO how to export the records your account allows. Start with your client and animal records, which the import is designed to bring across. If you want appointment, consult, vaccination, stock or register history moved too, check with VetlinkPRO whether it can be exported and how it can be handled.
- 2
Test the import
Have the client and animal exports loaded into Vet Clinic for Claude Code, starting with a test run before importing the records for real. The import was written for another system’s export, so VetlinkPRO’s columns need to be matched to the fields it expects. Sort out any column mismatches before loading the full set.
- 3
Review gaps and totals
Check what the import flags, including records or fields it could not match, and decide how to handle them. Compare the imported totals with VetlinkPRO’s totals before you rely on the new database. Pay particular attention to missing or unclear records, and confirm that your team knows which system to check while anything remains unresolved.
- 4
Run both systems
Keep VetlinkPRO available while your team starts using the new database for a short period. Use that time to check that the records you need are present and that staff can manage their normal work in the new setup. Note any missing information or clinic-specific rules that need attention before you make the new system your main record.
- 5
Switch off VetlinkPRO
Once your team has checked the imported records and is comfortable working in the new setup, make Vet Clinic for Claude Code your main system. Confirm that you have handled any history you chose to bring and that your team knows where to find the records it needs. Then arrange to stop using VetlinkPRO with its provider.
Where the real effort goes
The main work is usually matching VetlinkPRO’s columns to the new system’s fields, deciding which history to bring, and agreeing how your clinic’s own rules should work. The documented import covers client and animal exports, so confirm how other records can be exported and handled. Enterprise DNA does the field matching and checks the totals when you have them run your version.

Questions
Instead of VetlinkPRO, answered
How does this compare on price if VetlinkPRO will not publish theirs? expand_more
Bring your current VetlinkPRO invoice to the call. We set it against a one-off setup fee and a monthly retainer for your own version. If staying put works out better for your clinic, we will tell you.
Can we move our VetlinkPRO records across? expand_more
Yes, as long as you can get an export of your clients and animals. The free version's import was written for another system's export, so VetlinkPRO's columns need matching up. That matching is part of what we do when we build your version, and we check the totals against your old system before you switch.
We use the hotel module and lab integrations. Do we lose those? expand_more
The free version records bookings, consults and results that your team enters; it does not connect to lab machines or run a kennel booking screen on its own. When Enterprise DNA builds your version, boarding, lab results and payment links can be added to suit how your clinic runs.
Does it cover the controlled drug register properly? expand_more
It keeps every receipt, dispensing and witnessed disposal with a running balance that cannot be edited after the fact, and checks it against your shelf count on request. Whether your storage and destruction steps meet the rules is still your call, and every rule it checks says where it comes from. This is not legal advice.
What happens if we stop working with Enterprise DNA? expand_more
You keep everything. The records sit in a database your practice owns and the software is open source, so another provider or your own staff can carry on with it.
Know what your practice system costs before anyone quotes you
30 minutes with Sam. We go through your VetlinkPRO quote and modules, what your team actually opens every day, and what your own version would hold. If it fits, we build it and bring your records over. If it does not, the free version is yours to keep.
Vet Clinic for Claude Code is free and open source, published by Enterprise DNA.
