Veterinary care provider Bond Vet and Cubex, an automated medication management solution service, have announced a partnership to help simplify veterinary teams' operations. The companies are collaborating to bring automated medication management to Bond Vet clinics.¹

Veterinary practices must adhere to federal and state regulations. Cubex’s automated DEA logs and Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) reporting ensure that Bond Vet clinics maintain compliance with no need for manual entry, according to a news release. Additionally, laborious and time-consuming processes such as inventory tracking and reordering of medications are eliminated, which leaves Bond Vet practitioners more time to care for patients.¹

“While patient care is always our top priority, tasks like DEA logging and inventory management can take up valuable time. With Cubex’s automated cabinets, these time-consuming tasks are greatly reduced, allowing our team to dedicate more time to caring for patients,” Renee McDougall, DVM, MPH, DACVS, head of medicine at Bond Vet, said in a news release.¹

Thus far, smart cabinets have been installed in the treatment areas at 50 Bond Vet clinics. The technology is helping to ensure smoother workflows and improved compliance for veterinary teams caring for patients.¹

In September 2024, Cubex also announced a partnership with Digitail, a cloud-based veterinary software provider. This collaboration includes inventory and practice management. “Cubex’s innovative approach perfectly complements our vision of driving the industry’s transition to technology-enabled veterinary care,” Sebastian Gabor, CEO of Digitail, said in a news release.² “This partnership ensures our clients can manage their practices with greater efficiency and focus more on delivering exceptional care. By integrating with Cubex, we’re taking our all-in-one PIMS to the next level, enhancing our ability to streamline controlled substance safety and inventory management.”

According to Sid Anderson, VP of Product Management at Cubex, the integration with Digitail ensures a more cohesive and efficient workflow for veterinary professionals with integration that facilitates accurate transfer of patient, client and medication data. “At Cubex, we are committed to delivering technology that enhances the veterinary care process,” Anderson said in a release.²

At Bond Vet, Joseph Altobelli, chief financial officer, is excited to integrate Cubex into the company’s financial, business intelligence, and control processes. “According to the American Animal Hospital Association, manual protocols miss approximately 17% of client charges, leading to an estimated $25,000 in lost profit per doctor annually. Cubex’s integrated software solution consistently captures missed charges, helping to avoid human errors, waste, and theft—ultimately increasing the profitability of Bond Vet practices,” Altobelli said in the release.¹

Bond Vet’s partnership with Cubex is a significant step towards improving operational efficiency, compliance, and safety within its clinics and communities, according to the release. The company will have a medication management cabinet located in the treatment area at each of its 50 clinics. This collaboration reinforces Bond Vet’s commitment to providing high-quality veterinary care while leveraging innovative solutions to enhance practice management.¹
