Built by a company that isn’t going anywhere.
Veterinary practice software has had a rough few years for the people actually using it. Vendors get bought, roadmaps get frozen, support lines get outsourced, and prices move in ways nobody signed up for — usually right after the paperwork on an acquisition closes. Vivetra exists because that pattern is common enough in this category to be worth building around, not just complaining about.
We’re not a rollup, and we’re not being prepared to become one. Vivetra is one shared-core platform with six services — vet practice, hospital, boarding, shelter, equine, and livestock — sold on a flat monthly price with a schedule you can read all the way through 2048, live now in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
A category full of exits
Look at almost any list of veterinary practice-management vendors and you’ll find the same story repeating: acquired by a larger platform, acquired by a private-equity-backed holding company, folded into a bigger portfolio. Sometimes the product gets better. Often the practice using it just finds out, after the fact, that the deal they never agreed to changed what they pay.
One public, sourced example: acquired Hippo Manager March 1 2025, no option to stay on old platform; ~$119/DVM/mo moved to ~$299/DVM/mo (publicly reported, not vendor-confirmed) — a straightforward before-and-after that any practice budgeting a year in advance would want to know about ahead of time, not after the invoice changes.

This isn’t a knock on any one company — acquisitions happen for all kinds of reasons, and plenty close on good terms. It’s just the honest backdrop Vivetra is built against: if a real, sourced example of an acquisition-driven repricing exists in this exact category, that’s a fair thing for anyone evaluating practice software to weigh, whoever they end up choosing.
What Vivetra is instead
One published schedule, no surprises
Your first service is $200/mo, unlimited doctors and staff, fully managed hosting included — not a footnote, the actual headline. Each additional service adds a flat $50/mo. See the full bundle table and multi-year schedule.
Fully managed hosting, included
You never touch a server, never patch an OS, never restore your own backup. That’s part of the price every practice pays, not something reserved for an enterprise tier.

What we don’t pretend
Being straightforward about the acquisition pattern above only means something if we’re just as straightforward about our own limits. Two, plainly:
- We’re new. We don’t have a decade of uptime history or a long list of long-tenured customers the way some of the vendors in this category do. What we do have instead: no acquisition debt to service, no rollup thesis requiring your price to jump overnight, and a pricing schedule you can read today for the year 2048.
- Vivetra doesn’t process your clients’ payments. There’s no built-in payment processing inside any Vivetra service for taking payment from the pet owners, farm clients, or shelter adopters you serve. That’s a real gap against some competitors, and we’d rather you hear it from us on this page than discover it after signing up.
Questions people ask before they sign up
Is Vivetra backed by private equity, or built to be flipped and resold?
No. Vivetra is an independently built product with a fixed, published pricing schedule — not a portfolio company being groomed for an exit. There is no rollup thesis behind it that needs your monthly bill to jump to make the math work for someone else.
What actually happens to a practice when its software vendor gets acquired?
It varies by deal, but the pattern in veterinary practice software is public and worth knowing before you sign a contract. acquired Hippo Manager March 1 2025, no option to stay on old platform; ~$119/DVM/mo moved to ~$299/DVM/mo (publicly reported, not vendor-confirmed) See the sourced vet-practice comparison for the citation and every other claim on this site.
Could Vivetra's own price ever change?
Yes — and we say so up front rather than pretending otherwise. Vivetra runs on a small, published adjustment roughly every two years, dated years in advance, on the pricing page. What we're promising is the opposite of a surprise repricing after a change of ownership: you can read the 2048 figure today.
Do I have to manage the hosting, or does someone do it for me?
We manage it for you — fully managed hosting is included. You never touch a server, never patch an OS, and never restore your own backup — that's part of the monthly price, not a paid add-on.
