Home/Industries/Veterinary Clinics

The vet practice where the schedule never stops.

Cornerstone, Avimark, or ezyVet keeps the day running. When it freezes at 10:30, two doctors and a tech are standing around. Same managed stack we deploy at human clinics, tuned for the patterns a veterinary practice actually runs into.

·· 01 ·· Where practices get hit

The risks we see at small-animal and mixed practices

Practice-management freezes

The schedule is the building. When Cornerstone or Avimark hangs, the entire front-of-house workflow stalls until someone restarts the workstation — or the server.

Imaging server with no backup

Digital X-ray, ultrasound, and dental imaging files accumulate fast. Most practices we meet have one un-backed-up imaging PC carrying years of records.

Client Wi-Fi on the practice network

The same network running the schedule shouldn't host every client's phone. A segmented guest VLAN is a one-time fix that closes a real attack surface.

Boarding-cam DVRs on the same LAN

Boarding and kennel cameras are notorious for being on default passwords and unpatched firmware. They belong on their own VLAN with rules.

·· 02 ·· The managed stack

The Micro-IT veterinary stack

A small or mid-sized vet practice on our managed stack gets the same defense-in-depth we deploy at pharmacies and human clinics, with practice-management coordination handled on our tickets so the office manager isn't the one calling Cornerstone support.

  • Managed Endpoint on every workstation and laptop
  • Managed Inbox with advanced anti-phishing
  • Managed Site with segmented client / boarding-cam VLANs
  • Image-level backup including the imaging server
  • Practice-management vendor liaison (we own the support call)
  • Quarterly business review with the practice manager
·· 03 ·· Software we speak

Practice-management software we've worked with

We don't try to swap your clinical software. We change the infrastructure around it. Software we've supported in client environments: Cornerstone (IDEXX), Avimark (Covetrus), ezyVet, ImproMed, NaVetor, and VIA (Patterson). Imaging side: SOUND Eklin, Sound DR (Sound-Eklin), iM3, Scil VetView, and the dental sensors that bolt onto each.

·· 04 ·· The first 90 days

What changes in the first 90 days

Most practices we onboard arrive with a "computer guy" who handles tickets and a practice manager who calls the Cornerstone / Avimark support line. By day 90, the imaging server is backed up, the practice-management vendor calls come to our queue, the boarding cameras are on their own VLAN, and every workstation has EDR with a 24/7 SOC watching it. The front desk notices that things stopped freezing.

Common questions

What does managed IT for veterinary clinics include?
Managed IT for veterinary clinics includes EDR on every workstation with a 24/7 SOC watching it, email security with advanced anti-phishing, a segmented network that separates client Wi-Fi and boarding cameras from the practice systems, image-level backup that covers the imaging server, and practice-management vendor liaison — we own the Cornerstone or Avimark support call so the office manager doesn’t. A quarterly business review with the practice manager keeps the roadmap visible.
Do we have to switch from Cornerstone, Avimark, or ezyVet?
No. We don’t try to swap your clinical software — we change the infrastructure around it. We’ve supported Cornerstone (IDEXX), Avimark (Covetrus), ezyVet, ImproMed, NaVetor, and VIA (Patterson) in client environments, along with the imaging systems that pair with them. When the practice-management vendor needs to be called, the call comes from our queue.
How much does managed IT cost for a vet practice?
$79 per device per month, $20 per mailbox per month, and from $149 per location per month for the managed network. A typical 4–12-staff practice runs Endpoint + Inbox + Site + Backup. Every plan includes EDR with 24/7 SOC monitoring, MFA enforcement, DNS filtering, and immutable, restore-tested backups. The pricing page has a live estimator.
Why do client Wi-Fi and boarding cameras need their own network?
Because both are attack surfaces. Every client’s phone shouldn’t share the network that runs the schedule, and boarding-cam DVRs are notorious for default passwords and unpatched firmware. Segmenting each onto its own VLAN with rules is a one-time fix that closes a real gap — it’s standard in our veterinary stack.
