Staff smarter with scheduling software for veterinary practices

Did you know?
Veterinary practices face constant staffing and scheduling strain
Our pets don’t always love the vet, so a familiar face can make all the difference. But, staffing shortages and coverage gaps stretch staff thin, leading to burnout and eventually turnover. Don’t let a poor staff scheduling system get in the way of giving pets the best care possible.

Our latest guide breaks down what to look for in employee scheduling software. It covers the core capabilities, how to evaluate vendors, and the ROI of scheduling software for veterinary teams.
Confident coverage for every shift
Last-minute callouts, shift swaps, or missed messages leave your practice scrambling — especially during emergencies or double-booked appointments. TCP helps you reduce coverage gaps, keep workloads fair, and make sure every appointment, surgery, and kennel shift is covered.
People-first schedule management
Balanced schedules, easy leave management processes, and clear rules protect both your team and your practice. With hours and time off tracked automatically, plus built-in compliance safeguards, you create systems and support your team need.
Get more time to care for your four-legged patients.
Easy time capture for hourly and relief staff
Relief vets, techs, and assistants often float between roles, rooms, or locations, which makes timecards messy. TCP records hours correctly the first time and applies your pay and overtime rules automatically, so payroll runs quickly and cleanly.
What is veterinary scheduling and time tracking software?
Staff scheduling and time tracking software helps veterinary clinics ditch paper and whiteboards for an easy, digital way to build schedules, manage shift changes, and record hours worked. Staff can see their shifts, swap when needed, and clock in from their phones, while managers get time back and accurate, real-time records for payroll and compliance.
How will software change my day-to-day work?
Office managers spend less time chasing callouts, fixing timecards, or answering the “when am I working?” questions. With schedules, hours, and compliance connected, your day opens up to focus on clients, patients, and staff instead of paperwork.
Is software too much for a small vet team?
Not at all. Even vet clinics with < 20 staff still struggle with paper calendars, spreadsheets, and back-and-forth communication. Tracking schedules and hours together saves time and dollars every week. Having a foundation also makes it easy to scale as your team grows.
Can I connect with my other systems?
Yes. Scheduling and time data can flow directly into payroll and HR systems, so you avoid double entry and reduce errors.
What does it take to get up and running?
Getting started is simple. Some veterinary practices can import their staff list, set up positions and shifts, and build their first schedule in just a few hours. Staff download the mobile app to see their shifts right away. The timeline really depends on how complex your rules and processes are. Either way, our team is ready to help whether you need quick answers or prefer full white-glove setup and onboarding.
