BarnManager vs Covetrus Impromed Equine Comparison: Everything You Need to Know Before Choosing

Covetrus Impromed Equine is practice management software designed specifically for equine veterinary practices. It is part of the Covetrus portfolio, a global animal health technology and services company, and builds on the long-established Impromed practice management platform with features tailored to the needs of equine medicine. Equine practices differ from companion animal clinics in several important respects: much of the work takes place in the field at stables and farms, clients often own multiple horses, and practices must manage herd records, breeding activities and complex billing arrangements. Generic veterinary software may not handle these requirements well. Impromed Equine addresses this by providing an equine practice solution built on proven business intelligence capabilities, helping practices manage clinical records, inventory and finances while gaining insight into performance and profitability across both ambulatory and hospital-based services. Key capabilities include patient and client records designed for horses and their owners or trainers, including support for multiple animals per client, farm or barn locations and ownership arrangements. Clinical documentation, treatment plans, diagnostic results and imaging can be recorded and linked to patient histories. Billing features support ambulatory charges, farm call fees, split billing between owners and estimates, while inventory management helps control pharmaceuticals and supplies across hospital and vehicle stock. Scheduling tools coordinate appointments and field visits, and reminders help ensure vaccinations and preventive care are delivered on time. Business intelligence and reporting provide insight into revenue, productivity, client trends and inventory usage. Integration with laboratories, imaging systems and Covetrus services supports efficient workflows. The software is supported by Covetrus implementation and support teams. Impromed Equine is aimed at equine veterinary practices, mixed practices with significant equine caseloads, referral hospitals and ambulatory equine veterinarians. Pricing starts from around USD 5,000; there is no free trial and no permanently free version.
