Also worth a look

Petfolio, made in Cairo

Built in, where neither IDEXX Neo nor Vetspire is: whatsApp messages to owners, point of sale with shifts, loyalty points or promotions, double-entry accounting built in and sold and supported in Egypt or the Middle East. 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.
