Pros / Cons
- I like that we are able to view compliance reports directly in PetDesk, which actually makes it easier to view and use than our PMS does.
- Another negative is that some settings can only be changed by PetDesk staff such as pushing a reminder at a certain time (appointment is on the schedule at 10am but you want the client there at 8am) or what types of appoinments get reminders.

- DaySmart Vet provides all of the critical features that veterinary software needs to make day to day appointments run smoothly, for a fraction of the cost of other programs.
- We've also run into a few minor customization issues, such as trouble sending text reminders for surgery appointments since the appointment time is required in the message, or the appointment configuration not letting us change the default to exclude the invoice document.
