Keep Digitail. Add the link that gets the plan approved and paid.
VetApprove is not another practice management system and never asks for your Digitail password. It handles one step: the link that turns a recommended procedure into a signed plan with a deposit already in your bank.
- $99
- per clinic per month, whatever the number of veterinarians
- Direct
- deposits land in your own Stripe. We take nothing on the deposit, Stripe's fees apply
- ≈ 30 s

Stays where it is
Digitail
- Records, the pet-owner app and your appointment book.
- Cards on file and anything you already collect at booking.
- Your Digitail price list and invoices.
What VetApprove adds
The link that gets the yes
- A priced plan the owner reads on their phone: included, recommended, optional. The total updates as they tick.
- A finger signature and a deposit paid in the same page, in about twenty seconds.
- Email reminders on day 1 and day 3, a balance reminder the day before, then expiry on the date you set.
- A sealed record: timestamp, IP, device, the hash of the accepted content, proof the link was opened. The PDF is rendered from it.
How they meet
Copy in, paste back
When the plan is signed, you get an email with a sealed PDF and one CSV line. Paste the CSV line into the Digitail estimate or invoice, attach the sealed PDF to the visit. About thirty seconds, no API key, no integration for anyone to approve.
What Digitail already offers
Digitail, Cloud practice management software with a pet-owner app, aimed at modern small-animal clinics.
Digitail sends the priced treatment plan for signature: the owner receives it by email, or signs in the clinic, the lines they decline are recorded with a reason, and the approved plan is timestamped and kept as a PDF. Deposits exist too, at booking, with cards on file. Digitail does not publish a price: the plans are shown after a demo. The gap is narrower here than anywhere else, so it is worth naming precisely: the deposit is not taken on the same page as the signed plan, and all of it assumes you run Digitail. VetApprove does that one page, next to whatever software you already use.
We would rather you keep your money than buy a duplicate. If the flow above already exists in your setup, say so and we will write it here.
Price: $99 per clinic per month, the founder rate for the first ten early-access clinics, kept for as long as the subscription stays active; $149 a month, or $1,490 a year, for clinics joining after early access. No setup fee, no contract. We take nothing on the deposit, Stripe's fees apply. Deposits are collected by your clinic through its own Stripe account (Stripe Connect); VetApprove is not a payment processor. Signatures are simple electronic signatures with an audit trail. No compliance or certification claim. Product names are trademarks of their respective owners. VetApprove is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
How a clinic actually runs this
- 01
Cost the plan in Digitail
Nothing changes: the exam, the record and the pricing stay in Digitail, exactly as your team does it today.
- 02
Build the estimate in two minutes
Start from a starter template you can edit (dental, spay, TPLO, imaging, emergency deposit), adjust the lines, mark each one included, recommended or optional, set the deposit and an expiry date.
- 03
Send one link
By email. The owner opens it on their phone (no account, no app), picks options, signs and pays the deposit into your clinic's Stripe account.
- 04
File it back into Digitail
The signed record lands in your workspace: download the sealed PDF and the one-line CSV. Paste the line into the Digitail estimate, attach the PDF to the visit. About thirty seconds.
Questions clinics ask.
We already take a deposit at booking in Digitail. Is this the same thing?
Not quite. A booking deposit holds a slot. VetApprove is for the plan itself: a dental with three optional lines, a TPLO, an emergency workup. The owner reads what is included, what is recommended, what is optional, ticks what they want, signs, and pays a deposit on the amount they just approved.
Do we need to give VetApprove access to Digitail?
No. There is no connection between the two systems. You copy the lines in, and the signed plan comes back as a sealed PDF plus a CSV line you paste into Digitail.
What does the pet owner have to install?
Nothing. They tap the link in the email and the page opens in their phone browser. No account, no password, no app.
Other practice software
Ten clinics. Then we close the door for a while.
We are onboarding the first cohort by hand, one clinic at a time, to get the templates right for your species and procedures. Tell us where you are and we'll send the payment link and a 15-minute slot.
