What allyDVM does
allyDVM is a cloud-based SaaS platform that provides client engagement, retention, and practice optimization software to veterinary practices across North America and the UK. Founded in 2011 by Jason Wernli in Cumming, Georgia, and now operating as a subsidiary of MWI Animal Health (part of Cencora, formerly AmerisourceBergen, ranked #11 on the Fortune 500), the company automates routine administrative tasks — appointment scheduling, reminders, two-way texting, postcard outreach, and client re-engagement — for veterinary practices ranging from single-DVM clinics to large multi-location hospitals and 20+ DVM animal hospitals.
The product is architected as a tiered subscription platform built on top of deep bidirectional integrations with 20+ Practice Information Management Systems (PIMS) including Shepherd, AVImark, Cornerstone, ezyVet, Instinct EMR, ImproMed, Vetspire, and others. The core feature stack includes a Retention Calendar (tracking patient due dates and re-engagement workflows), multi-channel client communications (one-way messaging, two-way texting without app downloads, email templates, push notifications), the PetPage mobile/web patient portal, telehealth, a client loyalty program, automated postcard mailings, and a business intelligence/analytics layer with NPS tracking and multi-location rollups.
allyDVM monetizes through three monthly subscription tiers (Boost at $325, Amplify at $425, and Maximize at $525) plus recurring add-ons (two-way texting $65-$80/mo, telehealth $40-$185/mo) and per-unit transaction fees for automated postcards ($0.99-$1.24 per card depending on geography and customization). GPO-affiliated practices (TVC, Vetcelerator, Blue River PetCare, VSG, PetWell Partners, VISN) receive first-year discounted pricing. Distribution combines self-serve online ordering on allydvm.com with inside and enterprise field sales for mid-market and multi-location groups, layered on MWI Animal Health's established veterinary distribution relationships.
