For the practice that doesn’t have a building.
Ambulatory equine, mixed-animal, dairy and beef herd work. Vetch is the truck cab — route, charge, dictate, sync — designed for gravel roads and one-bar service.
Five farms before lunch.
Cell service comes and goes. The truck doesn't. Vetch runs the same offline as on.
- 5:48aPre-routeThe day loads on the dashboard tablet.Route auto-sequenced by farm distance + appointment window. Truck stock checked against the day's likely meds.Vetch · Pulled tomorrow's Coggins clients. Drafted the day's herd-health invoices for Buchholtz Dairy from last visit.
- 7:30aHollow CreekSundance — prepurchase + radiographs.Rads synced from the digital plate, attached to the chart over LTE — owner gets the certified PDF before you leave the barn.
- 9:15aBuchholtz12 preg checks, dictated as you palpate.No phone in your hand. Bluetooth headset → Vetch → individual cow records.Vetch · 11 confirmed pregnant, 1 open. Re-check queued for 30 days. Bill draft to dairy office, ready to send when you hit signal.
- 10:50aEmergencyBoomer · choke · Mira Trail.Owner texts a video. You read the vitals as you walk in.Vetch · Estimate drafted from species + complaint. SMS to Dani ready (last visit was ACH, she'll likely accept).
- 12:30pFloatsFour horses, sedation tracked.Each animal gets its own pre-sed weight, dose, and recovery time-stamp — DEA log reconciles back to the truck.
- 4:30pCharts doneYou're back at the truck. Charts are done.Every visit is signed, billed, and emailed. The dictation never made it to a spreadsheet — it went straight into the chart.
The things ambulatory actually needs.
Works without a signal
Every screen functions in airplane mode. Records, schedules, dictation, charges queue locally and sync the moment you cross into bars.
Sequenced by drive time
The day auto-orders by farm distance and time window. Drag to override. Drives are a first-class line item — mileage tracked per call.
Dictate via headset
Bluetooth mic → Vetch → SOAP. Designed for the palpation bar, the crush, the stocks. No tablet in your gloved hand.
Herd-level workflows
Bulk preg checks, vaccinate-the-string, bull soundness. Per-animal records when needed, herd-level invoicing always.
Coggins, health certs, USDA
EIA, interstate, and brand-inspection forms generated from the chart. State-specific routing built in. No PDF gymnastics.
Inventory on the truck
Each rig is its own location. Vetch subtracts at the call, flags reorders, and reconciles DEA-controlled drugs against the truck log.
What the road feels like, before and after.
Pickup-truck reality, regulator-grade output.
An equine PMS that flunks at the barn isn't a PMS. Vetch was built around a fenceline — offline tolerance, hands-free dictation, cell-aware sync — without giving up the audit trail your state vet, your DEA, and your insurer expect.
- Offline-first architecture · 30 days of un-synced calls supported
- DEA-controlled drug logs reconcile to the truck, not just the clinic
- EIA / Coggins / USDA APHIS exports validated by state
- Brand-aware mileage and per-call drive billing
- SOC 2 Type II + HIPAA BAA · works in low-bandwidth and 1-bar regions
Coming from AVImark, ImproMed, ezyVet, or paper + Excel? 3–5 weeks.
Mobile migrations are simpler — fewer workstations, more trucks. We onboard each rig with its own tablet and stock catalog, import client/horse records and Coggins history, and shadow your first three route days. Old PMS stays read-only for 90 days.
Honest answers.
The truck runs the practice.
