Vello Alternative: How PetDesk Compares (2026)
PetDesk’s veterinary software is purpose-built for your practice
Here’s a clear breakdown on why over 12,000 veterinary teams choose PetDesk.
3 reasons to upgrade from Vello to PetDesk
Widely used (and loved) by pet parents
The PetDesk app is used by over 7 million pet parents with a 4.9 rating in the Apple App Store. Greater app adoption means simpler operations and more revenue.
Vello’s client app has much lower adoption in the market, impacting efficiency.
A proven client loyalty program
PetDesk Loyalty is a proven veterinary loyalty and rewards program with real results, including one clinic increasing annual revenue by $122k with a 35% profit boost across all clients.*
Vello does not offer a client loyalty program for clinics to grow revenue.
Fully-integrated veterinary solutions
PetDesk allows veterinary practices to scale and consolidate your operational needs with a single invoice—that means all your tools, under one trusted company.
Vello users must integrate separate systems for phones and website/marketing.
“Now we use multiple PetDesk tools and love it. It forces us to be better—it’s easy for clients to shop around if we’re not delivering, so we have to step up.”
