3 ezyVet features your veterinary practice may not be using to their full potential

3 mins

ezyVet is packed with clever tools designed to make life easier for your veterinary team. But with so many features available, it’s easy to overlook a few that could save valuable time, improve workflows, and strengthen communication with pet owners.

Whether you’re brand new to ezyVet or have been using it for years, here are three underused features that can make a real difference in how your practice operates.

Key takeaways

  • ezyVet’s Standard of Care (SOC) system supports better patient compliance by automating reminders based on clinical conditions, not just invoices or appointments.
  • The Records dashboard allows you to generate flexible reports, uncover business opportunities, and streamline data management.
  • The Consult Timeline gives your team a quick, clear view of patient history, supporting faster and more accurate decision-making.

1. Automated veterinary patient reminders with the Standard of Care system

Consistency in care is key to healthy pets and happy pet owners. ezyVet’s Standard of Care (SOC) system helps your team deliver that consistency by automatically tracking upcoming treatments, boosters, and monitoring plans.

From vaccinations and routine blood tests to long-term treatments for conditions such as arthritis or chemotherapy, the SOC system provides a clear overview of what’s due, nearly due, or overdue.

Unlike many practice management systems, ezyVet doesn’t just trigger reminders from invoices or appointments. Instead, reminders can be generated from clinical data, such as species, age, sex, life stage, or presenting problem, which ensures pet owners receive the right reminders at the right time—even if an appointment hasn’t been scheduled—helping your team reduce missed treatments and deliver proactive preventive care.

2. Veterinary reporting and business insights with the Records dashboard

If you’re only using the Records dashboard for basic patient or pet owner lists, you’re missing out on one of ezyVet’s most powerful veterinary reporting tools.

Records dashboard

With a wide range of filters, the Records dashboard allows you to drill into your data, uncover opportunities, and take action at scale. For example:

  • Run targeted marketing campaigns: Identify pet owners who purchased flea or tick treatments in the last six months, then send personalised reminders via text message or email.
  • Re-engage inactive pet owners: Spot those who haven’t visited in over a year and invite them back with a friendly recall campaign.
  • Clean up your product list: Quickly bulk update codes, adjust pricing, or reorganise medication categories without editing each entry individually.

By streamlining data management and enabling smarter communication, the Records dashboard saves hours of admin time while also creating opportunities to increase practice revenue.

3. Faster consult preparation with the Consult Timeline

Need to catch up quickly before heading into an appointment? The Consult Timeline in ezyVet gives your team a clear, visual summary of a patient’s recent medical history.

The timeline displays up to 50 past consultations at a glance, making it easier to review past diagnoses, spot patterns, and understand a patient’s clinical journey. Clicking any consultation opens the full record in a new tab, keeping everything easy to access without endless scrolling.

This feature supports busy veterinary teams by:

  • Reducing time spent searching through lengthy records
  • Lightening cognitive load for vets and nurses
  • Improving the speed and accuracy of clinical decision-making
