Herdwatch strengthens investment in veterinary software
We’re pleased to share that Herdwatch has acquired VetDrive, Ireland’s fastest-growing veterinary practice management system.
Founded and led by James Daly, VetDrive has built a modern, cloud-based PMS software that is seeing rapid adoption across veterinary practices. Designed with the day-to-day realities of veterinary work in mind, VetDrive has focused on practical workflows, reliability, and strong customer support.
A natural step in Herdwatch’s veterinary strategy
This acquisition represents an important step in Herdwatch’s long-term investment in the veterinary space. Over recent years, Herdwatch has worked closely with vets through TB Testing with Comtag in Ireland and Lilac/TB Master in the UK, supporting practices across both markets.
Commenting on the acquisition, Herdwatch CEO Fabien Peyaud said: “Bringing VetDrive into Herdwatch is a major milestone in our long-term investment in the veterinary space and builds naturally on our existing work supporting vets through our TB Testing software.”
James Daly, Founder of VetDrive, added: “VetDrive was built to support vets with practical, well-designed software that solves real-world challenges. Joining Herdwatch allows us to stay true to that approach while giving us the backing to continue investing in our product, our people, and the support we provide to practices.”
What this means for VetDrive customers
The VetDrive team remains in place, and it is very much business as usual for customers. Existing products, support channels remain unchanged.
Together, Herdwatch and VetDrive will continue to invest in product development and customer support, with a shared focus on building software that supports veterinary professionals in their vital work across livestock, equine and companion animal care.
