For veterinary practices
Veterinary software is consolidating.
Veterinary software is consolidating.
Your records don't have to be casualties.
A handful of companies now own most veterinary practice-management software, and the legacy on-premise systems are being wound down one by one — some with dates, some by quiet end of development. This page tracks what's verified, and what a practice can do about years of patient history.
The state of the veterinary systems we track

What a veterinary rescue actually carries
Patient and client records, the full appointment calendar, SOAP notes and treatment history, reminders and callbacks, documents, radiographs and lab results, inventory and procedures, complete financial ledgers, and the custom fields your practice added over the years — extracted, reconciled against your own in-app record counts, and delivered with a signed validation report. Landed in the practice system you choose, or kept in a searchable read-only archive.
Any other veterinary system
Same five-step process, custom fixed quote in 48 hours — DVMAX, Advantage+, ImproMed, Avimark, or the system nobody else has heard of.

How long do we have to keep veterinary medical records?
It varies by state — many state veterinary boards require medical records to be kept for a period of years after the last patient visit. Check your state board's rule (this isn't legal advice). What matters for a migration: the retention duty survives the software, which is why a searchable archive of the full history exists as an option.
Our vendor offers a free conversion to their new cloud product. Should we take it?
Possibly — for some practices it's the right move. First get in writing exactly what carries: attachments and radiographs, full financial history, audit trails, custom fields, closed and inactive patients. If the written answer covers what your practice needs, take it. If it doesn't — or you can't get a written answer — that gap is what a full-fidelity rescue covers.
Our practice system has no announced shutdown date. Why act now?
You may not need to. The honest framing: extraction is cheapest and safest while the system runs cleanly, and several veterinary systems now carry either hard dates or vendor-stated end of development. A verified copy taken now — while everything works — converts whatever the vendor announces later from an emergency into a scheduling question.
