Vetster Rx Refill Program
Vetster Rx Refill Program is the market leader known for its wide network of licensed veterinarians and high availability across regions, making it a reliable choice for dog owners who prioritize access and speed.

Smart.Vet Prescription Plan
Smart.Vet Prescription Plan targets flexibility and integration, offering customizable refill cadence, smart reminders and an open API that lets smaller clinics plug refill subscriptions into their existing workflows.

Its technical advantage — lightweight API-driven automation — reduces clinic admin time and associated labor costs, delivering savings that scale for independent veterinarians.
