The package includes pre-built templates, dedicated support during implementation, comprehensive training and 6 months’ free access from go-live to the cloud-based platform.
The company says it is launching this service after seeing the number of start-up practices reaching almost pre-pandemic levels according to Companies House data.
Scott Goodsir-Smyth, General Manager for the UK and Ireland at Provet Cloud said: "A progressive practice management system is essential for the smooth running of a modern veterinary practice, however selection and implementation can be stressful, particularly for start-ups when there are so many other important decisions to make.
"We have streamlined our implementation process and incorporated a number of out-of-the-box templates, pre-built wholesaler price lists and laboratory panels to speed up configuration and take the strain off our customers.
"We also understand that cash-flow is a major concern during ramp-up, so we are delighted to be able to offer start-ups in our region 6 months’ free access to the system, whilst they open and establish their practice’.
Training and support is provided by the UK Provet Cloud team, made up of qualified vets, nurses and practice managers.
Danny McClelland, implementation lead at Provet Cloud UK and Ireland, said: "We made a conscious decision to employ people with clinical or hands-on experience in practice for our implementation, training and support roles."

Less than half are using online booking, which Provet says can significantly improve the customer experience.
Less than 20% have implemented integrated payments or telemedicine or 'pet parent' apps.
The survey also found that 42% are still using old server technology, rather than cloud-based solutions (28%).
