petdesk vs otto
PetDesk provides a better experience for your front desk and clients
Deciding between PetDesk and Otto? Here’s a clear side-by-side comparison on why over 8,500 veterinary teams prefer us.
3 reasons to upgrade from Otto to PetDesk
A quicker & easier front desk experience
We specifically designed the PetDesk dashboard to simplify workflows for busy front-desk veterinary professionals. We give you everything you need—and nothing you don’t—to keep client engagement smooth and effortless.
Otto requires clicking through multiple filters to manage your day.
Widely adopted (and loved) by pet parents
With over 7 million downloads, 407k reviews, and a 4.9 rating in the Apple App Store, PetDesk provides a superior pet parent experience. Greater app adoption by your clients means simpler operations and more revenue.
The Otto pet parent app has much lower adoption in the market.
True online appointment booking
PetDesk Direct Booking gives clients the power and flexibility to securely book appointments online, all while allowing clinics to maintain total control of the calendar and how they prefer to manage their business needs.
Otto’s online widget does not directly book appointments for most PIMS.
“I can’t imagine not having PetDesk at our clinic. Every feature we use helps our staff immensely in caring for our patients and clients. PetDesk is specifically focused on helping veterinary practices improve their day-to-day. That’s what we needed.“
