Also worth a look
Petfolio, made in Cairo
Built in, where neither Covetrus Pulse nor Provet is: whatsApp messages to owners, point of sale with shifts, loyalty points or promotions, double-entry accounting built in, sold and supported in Egypt or the Middle East and free trial. To be fair about it: Petfolio books visits ahead but has no calendar view or online booking, no client app or lab connections, and its screens are in English.
