Technology detected on location websites
We scanned the 203 website hosts listed on this page on 3 Oct 2026 (UTC) for the code and links of known veterinary software vendors. 30 returned a page, 170 were blocked by robots.txt and 3 returned an error; blocked and failed sites were not assessed. On 28 sites the scan used only the home page, and it does not run JavaScript, so widgets added by scripts, such as chat and booking, can be missed. Each count is the number of fetched location websites where a vendor's code or link was detected as of 3 Oct 2026. A site without a detection is unknown, not a site without the product, and a detection does not show that the practice uses the product.
Detections marked “location” link to a vendor account set up for a practice, usually the location's own.
| Category | Location websites with a detection (of 30 fetched) | Vendors (sites) | Source of the evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics and tag management | 14 | GA4 8; GTM 7; Meta pixel 1 | site |
| Payments and financing | 8 | CareCredit 8; Scratchpay 3 | link, logo or payment text |
| Online booking or appointment request | 8 | AllyDVM 6; Covetrus 2 | location |
| Online pharmacy | 11 | Covetrus/VetsFirstChoice 11; Vetsource 1 | location |
| Website platform | 17 | WordPress 12; Squarespace 3; Beyond Indigo 1; Wix 1 | site |
| Chat widget | 0 | none detected | – |
12 sites also show an appointment button without a vendor link; that is page design, not a technology, so it is not in the table. Source: Vettica website technology scan, signature set m75-2026-10-03-v4, fetched 3 Oct 2026 (UTC); the per-site detections, with evidence URL and fetch time, are in the chain dataset.
Registry verification
Florida, Missouri and Kansas have full-state facility-registry extracts with addresses in this dataset. A match requires the exact normalized name plus city, or the exact normalized street plus five-digit ZIP. No fuzzy match is counted, so exact matches are a lower bound: a registry record that writes the name or address differently is missed. Per 100 = chain rows ÷ registry records × 100.
Change log
Tracked since 28 Sep 2026. Locator not reachable to automated crawl on 2 Oct 2026, so no change since 28 Sep 2026 is reported.
