Covetrus Pulse API
No public API. Covetrus Connect is the sole sanctioned integration layer for Pulse, AVImark, and Impromed, gated behind a partner application, signed agreement, and NDA. Per-practice client_id and client_secret credentials are issued one clinic at a time; scopes and rate limits are unpublished.
Frequently asked questions
Covetrus Pulse scores F on the API Report Card. No public API. Covetrus Connect is the sole sanctioned integration layer for Pulse, AVImark, and Impromed, gated behind a partner application, signed agreement, and NDA. Per-practice client_id and client_secret credentials are issued one clinic at a time; scopes and rate limits are unpublished.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Covetrus Pulse is a cloud-based veterinary operating system (vOS), the rebranded and re-platformed successor to eVetPractice, that consolidates appointment scheduling, electronic medical records, SOAP/clinical notes, treatment plans, e-prescribing, inventory and stock takes, invoicing and integrated Covetrus Payments, client communications (email/SMS reminders, online booking, client portal), digital forms and consents, treatment boards, task dashboards, controlled-drug logs and business reporting into a single browser-based workspace for veterinary practices.
Vertical: Healthcare / EHR (Veterinary Practice Management). Front-desk staff use Pulse to book and check in appointments, manage waitlists, register clients and patients, scan microchips, take deposits and process payments via Covetrus Payments.
Covetrus Pulse is one of the top three global cloud veterinary PIMS platforms alongside IDEXX's ezyVet and Nordhealth's Provet Cloud.
Yes, Covetrus Pulse is the system of record for nearly every operational function of a veterinary practice: full patient/animal medical history (SOAP notes, vaccinations, prescriptions, diagnostic results streamed in from Zoetis/IDEXX/Antech), client/owner records, the entire appointment book, controlled-drug logs, inventory and stock movements, the full invoicing and AR ledger, integrated payment data via Covetrus Payments, prescription history through the vRxPro home-delivery pharmacy, reminder/communication history, treatment-board state and multi-site clinic reporting.
The Pulse codebase traces back to eVetPractice (founded as a cloud-native vet PIMS in the early 2010s), which was acquired by Vets First Choice / Henry Schein Animal Health and rolled into Covetrus when that company was spun out of Henry Schein and merged with Vets First Choice in 2019.
No public developer portal or self-serve API access, integrators must apply to the Covetrus Technology Integration Partner Program before seeing any technical documentation. Covetrus Connect is explicitly positioned as 'the only authenticated and supported way to integrate with Covetrus practice management software,' shutting down any unsanctioned integration path.

Common alternatives include ezyVet (IDEXX), Provet Cloud (Nordhealth), Cornerstone (IDEXX), IDEXX Neo, AVImark (Covetrus), ImproMed (Covetrus). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Covetrus Pulse API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Covetrus Pulse data. See the Covetrus Pulse integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/covetrus-pulse-api.
