Hunimalis

Hunimalis is management software for animal-care professionals, including veterinary practices. It is best suited to clinics that want to combine appointment handling with animal records and payment administration. The free Public Page offers a way to appear on Hunimalis and Google; the practice-management tools require a paid plan.

Overview

Hunimalis brings client booking, clinical records, reminders and billing into one service. That breadth may suit a practice seeking more than a standalone calendar, particularly if clients booking online and keeping visit information alongside appointments are priorities. The trade-off is that the free option is primarily a public listing, while the veterinary workflow is priced at €39.00 per month.

Key features

Animal files can include consultation history, treatments, examination results, clinical observations and diagnostic media such as X-rays and analyses. Keeping these records with appointment and client-relations tools can help a practice manage clinical context and front-desk work together; the animal file is part of the paid Online booking plan.

Clients can request appointments through a website or client portal, and can book through Google. The practice validates requests against availability, preserving control over the calendar, though it also means a request is not necessarily a confirmed appointment. Recurring appointments are supported.

Automatic reminders can be sent by email or SMS, with customizable timing and content. Online payments and deposits extend the workflow to collections, and clients can pay all or part of a consultation online. The veterinary offering also includes electronic invoicing and payment tracking; Hunimalis describes its cash-register and invoicing software as NF525-certified.

Hunimalis says it is GDPR-compliant and hosts customer data in France through OVH. The veterinary offering includes technical support and a dedicated business expert. The company also offers data recovery and free training, with no setup fees; general support hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. It lists a partnership with Kozoo, a pet health insurer for dogs and cats.

Pricing

The Public Page is free and includes a Google listing, a Hunimalis platform listing, contact and location details, photo uploads and online booking. It is a reasonable starting point for visibility and booking access, but it does not include the calendar, animal file, client relations, reminders, or payment functions shown in the paid plan.

Online booking costs €39 a month, billed monthly with no commitment. It adds calendar and appointment management, 24/7 online booking, Google booking, automatic email or SMS reminders, animal files, client relations, online payments and deposits. This is the relevant plan for practices wanting the broader veterinary workflow rather than just a public presence. A free trial is available.

Platforms

Hunimalis supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows and the web. Its terms specify access through a recent browser on those systems.

Who it's for

Hunimalis is a stronger fit for veterinary practices that want appointment requests, animal records, reminders and payment administration connected in one service, and that can justify a monthly subscription for those tools. The free Public Page may suit a practice that mainly wants a listing and booking channel. Clinics looking for a free full practice-management system, or that need appointments confirmed without practice validation, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Animal files include clinical history and diagnostic media, not just appointment data.
• Pros: Google, website and client-portal booking, recurring appointments, reminders and online payments cover multiple stages of the appointment workflow.
• Pros: No setup fees, data recovery and free training reduce the stated onboarding burden.
• Cons: The free plan is limited to a public listing and online booking; the animal file and client-relations features are paid.
• Cons: The practice must validate appointment requests against availability, adding a step before a request is confirmed.

Alternatives

Veterinary Appointment Scheduling Software is a useful category page for comparing scheduling-focused options.

Choose Veterical if a free plan and broad platform support are the priority; its free plan states no limits. Xolotl may suit a new graduate seeking a first-year offer, though its plan becomes half price for the first full year afterward. For a low-cost booking tool with an explicit small-team allowance, SchedulingKit has a free forever plan for one team member, one event type and 50 bookings per month.

AllEars.Vet is worth considering for practices centered on consultations and patient communication, with its free plan capped at 10 consultations and 20 patients per month. EasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics offers free basic booking functionality and a Pro plan, making it a scheduling-oriented alternative. NaVetor may fit a practice eligible for Patterson Pay, which includes full feature access when using those payment services, subject to transaction-volume eligibility.

Provet Cloud is an alternative for clinics considering a higher-cost veterinary platform: its Core plan is $99 per vet per month, plus a $249 monthly platform fee that includes one vet. Vetilog may appeal to a solo user who wants a free entry tier with stated limits of 100 animals, one user and 100 Mo of documents or photos.

Verdict

Hunimalis is a sensible choice for veterinary practices that want client booking, clinical records and payment tools under one roof, with Google booking and recurring appointments as useful additions. Its main draw is the breadth of the paid workflow; its main reason to look elsewhere is that the free plan does not include those management features and online appointment requests still need practice validation.
