Pulse:
Pulse is an innovative cloud-based veterinary operating system (vOS) that seamlessly connects veterinarians to the technology they need to optimize their operations amid workforce challenges and a drumbeat of demand. A first-of-its-kind vOS, Pulse drives efficiencies by consolidating the applications practices rely on for day-to-day operations into an all-in-one integrated system. With its user-friendly design and cloud-based accessibility, Covetrus Pulse arrives just in time to meet the urgent needs of a veterinary community that is stretched to capacity. A study released in early 2022 revealed that Pulse saved time and provides relief to overworked, understaffed veterinary practices.3
Covetrus GluCurve Pet CGM:
According to studies, 1 in 300 dogs and 1 in 175 cats have diabetes and until now, treating them could be a challenge for pet parents and veterinarians1,2. GluCurve Pet CGM records blood sugar levels every 3 minutes for up to 14 days. Readings are displayed for the pet owner in the GluCurve app for iOS and Android and uploaded to a veterinary patient management web portal. In the web portal, data are analyzed and organized into time saving graphs and tables, along with additional features such as glucose curve comparisons and overlays, insulin dose calculators, best practice guidelines, and more.
In December 2022, Covetrus entered into a co-branded distribution agreement with ALR Technologies SG Ltd (OTCQB: ALRTF), the diabetes management company that manufactures the GluCurve Pet CGM.
