Buyer's guide · 2026
Choosing veterinary software in India in 2026.
Most Indian vet clinics compare three things: the real monthly price in rupees, whether bills carry GST properly, and whether the team will actually use it. This guide lists what to check and puts published prices side by side. We make Lazzydogo, so check every price on the other companies' own pages too.

What to check before you buy
- 1
A price you can see in rupees
Look for a published monthly price, what it includes, and whether GST, extra staff logins or WhatsApp messages cost more.
- 2
GST invoices and returns
Consultations for animal health care are usually GST-exempt, while grooming, boarding and many products are taxable. The software should handle both on one bill and give you GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B figures.
- 3
WhatsApp, not just SMS
Pet parents read WhatsApp. Check that prescriptions, reminders and bills can go there, and from whose number.
- 4
Works on a phone, and offline
Doctors move between rooms, farms and homes. A phone app and an offline mode matter more than a big screen.
- 5
Staff see only their screens
Receptionists, groomers and doctors should each see only what they need, with mobile number sign-in.
- 6
AI that leaves the doctor in charge
Voice notes, dose help and safety checks save time, but nothing should reach the prescription unless the doctor adds it.

Questions
Which is the cheapest veterinary software in India?
It depends on your size. petboard's Solo plan is ₹199 a month for up to 5 active pets, and Lazzydogo's Core is ₹199 a month before GST with modules added as you need them. For a full single-branch clinic, compare the clinic rows in the table above.
Is GST charged on vet software subscriptions?
Usually yes, at 18%, when the seller is GST-registered. Lazzydogo and Pet Clinic Software show prices before 18% GST. petboard says it is not GST-registered, so it charges no GST.
Do I need a free trial?
A trial helps, but a clear monthly price and the freedom to cancel matter more. Lazzydogo has no free trial; you pick only the modules you need and can change them any time.
How were these prices checked?
