Frequently Asked Questions

What is veterinary PIMS software or veterinary practice management software?

Veterinary practice information management system (PIMS) software is the core system used to manage the day-to-day operations of a veterinary clinic. It helps manage appointments, patient records, billing, inventory, prescriptions, and client communications, making it easier for teams to stay organized, work efficiently, and deliver consistent care.

Yes! Instinct EMR is fully cloud-based and gives you 24/7 access to your hospital’s data from any device.

Instinct EMR is a modern veterinary PIMS designed to meet the demands of high-complexity, high-acuity veterinary practices. It was founded by an ER veterinarian to support everyday clinical workflows with integrated treatment sheets, patient safety warnings, embedded clinical support, and advanced analytics capabilities. And because every treatment and medication is tracked at the point of care, you’ll never miss another charge again. With 24/7 support that responds in under 90 seconds, Instinct EMR is the veterinary practice management software that’s trusted and valued by hundreds of emergency, specialty, and teaching hospitals.

Nope! While it is the veterinary PIMS of choice for high-volume ERs, Instinct EMR runs in all kinds of hospitals, from ER and specialty to full-service general practices and university teaching hospitals. Out of the box, Instinct EMR works best with high-volume ERs, specialty hospitals, and advanced, full-service general practices. If your team juggles complex cases, high caseloads, and a fast-moving floor, Instinct EMR was made for you.

It depends on your hospital’s size, workflow, and setup. But no matter what, we’ll make it as smooth as possible. Our team handles the details, trains your staff, and sticks with you through go-live and beyond. Whether you’re moving from a legacy veterinary practice management system or setting up a new practice, we’re known for making onboarding seamless (and even kind of fun).

Yes. Instinct EMR automatically links treatments, medications, and services documented on the digital treatment sheet to your invoice in real time. Traditional veterinary PIMS often use multiple tools to handle the client journey, but Instinct EMR has you covered across treatment, invoicing, reporting, and client communication. Because our treatment and invoicing are linked, you’ll see fewer missed charges while improving patient care.

Instinct EMR integrates trusted decision support directly into your veterinary EMR system: built-in Plumb’s drug information, automatic dose calculators, patient safety warnings, duplicate therapy alerts, and overdose prevention tools. You can also embed Standards of Care (formerly known as Plumb’s Pro) for just-in-time diagnostic and treatment guidance. Instinct EMR is designed to help teams catch problems before they reach the patient.

As a modern cloud-based veterinary practice management software, Instinct EMR integrates with major labs, POC devices, and diagnostic imaging systems, and supports custom APIs for other systems. It also connects to ScribbleVet for SOAP documentation and integrates inventory, billing, and analytics. Unlike competitors who rely heavily on third-party plug-in marketplaces, Instinct EMR prioritizes reliability and direct lab/diagnostic integrations.

Instinct EMR offers 24/7/365 live chat support by people who understand veterinary medicine, not outsourced call centers. Our experts have a 90-second average response time because we know time is critical for high-acuity hospitals. Unlike other veterinary practice management systems, support isn’t an afterthought. Your team gets fast, reliable help whenever they need it, without disrupting patient care.
