IT Support for Veterinary Practices

Veterinary practices rely heavily on electronic medical records (EMRs) and practice management software to store patient health details, diagnostic results, appointment schedules, and client information. At HERO, we provide specialized IT support for veterinary EMR systems by ensuring they are secure, backed up, and fully optimized for performance. Our team delivers proactive monitoring and rapid troubleshooting so downtime is minimized, keeping records available when vets and staff need them most. We also work on integration with diagnostic tools, digital imaging, and lab systems, ensuring all systems communicate seamlessly. With HERO’s veterinary IT support, practices gain stability, security, and efficiency, ensuring continuity of care while maintaining client trust.

Yes. HERO specializes in equipment integration, a major challenge for modern veterinary practices. Clinics often rely on digital X-rays, imaging systems, lab analyzers, and other diagnostic tools that need to connect with EMR and practice management software. HERO ensures that all these systems work together seamlessly, reducing workflow disruptions and saving staff time. Proper integration improves the speed and accuracy of patient care, while also minimizing errors caused by manual data entry. Our engineers also maintain compatibility during software or equipment upgrades, ensuring smooth transitions. With HERO, veterinary practices can focus on patient outcomes knowing that their technology environment is reliable, cohesive, and designed for clinical efficiency.

Veterinary practices handle highly sensitive data, from patient records and lab results to financial information, which makes them a target for cybercriminals.

We also provide staff training, since human error remains one of the top causes of breaches. In addition, HERO implements encrypted backup and disaster recovery solutions to safeguard data in case of ransomware or hardware failure. By combining advanced technology with proactive monitoring, HERO delivers veterinary IT security that protects clinics against threats, ensures data integrity, and gives pet owners confidence their information is safe.

Our proactive monitoring also identifies and addresses problems before staff even notice them, reducing downtime across the board.
