What Provet does

Provet is a veterinary supplies distributor founded in 1982, operating across Australia and New Zealand as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Covetrus, a global animal health technology and services company (acquired February 2019). The company serves more than 3,750 veterinary practices through a multi-channel model combining direct field sales, inside sales, and its proprietary Provet Connect online platform for self-service ordering and inventory management. Provet distributes pharmaceutical products, surgical equipment, consumables, and instruments to small animal, large animal, and equine veterinary practices, with no subscription or recurring-software revenue component disclosed.

The company's product architecture pairs a broad third-party veterinary catalog with an exclusive-brand portfolio sourced primarily through its Covetrus parent: Covetrus Essentials (general supplies including the OTC AdvoShield Spot-On and OsteoRelief Powder lines), KRUUSE (a wide-ranging brand across anaesthetic, dental, surgical, wound care, equine, and livestock categories), Riverpoint Medical Sutures, MedLED Surgical Headlights, SureSafe Surgical Consumables, Sentrx Ocular Hydration products, and Provet Vi / Veterinary Instrumentation (orthopaedic implants and instruments sourced from Covetrus-owned Veterinary Instrumentation in the UK). Provet Connect integrates with RxWorks and VisionVPM practice management software for electronic ordering, and the company operates a loyalty program called Provet PLUS across business, travel, and education reward categories.

Provet operates ten warehouse and distribution locations across all major metropolitan centers in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart) and New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch), and employs approximately 400 team members. Revenue is generated through transactional product sales on quote-based, monthly-billing terms. Catherine Murphy serves as Senior Director, Commercial APAC. The company maintains professional association partnerships with the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA), Equine Veterinarians Australia (EVA), and the Veterinary Nurses Council of Australia (VNCA). No revenue, AI/ML capability, or independent funding data is disclosed in the source.
