Hunimalis

Hunimalis is an animal-practice management service for veterinary clinics and other animal-care professionals. It is best for practices that want client booking linked to animal records and payment workflows. Its free tier provides a public listing and booking; the €39.00-per-month plan adds the main practice-management tools.

Overview

Hunimalis brings appointment handling, clinical records, reminders, and payments into one service. That scope is more useful to a practice seeking to connect front-desk and clinical administration than to one looking only for a booking calendar. The trade-off is a sharp divide between the free public presence and the paid tools that support day-to-day practice management.

Key features

Animal files can hold consultation history, treatments, examination results, clinical observations, and diagnostic media such as X-rays and analyses. Keeping this clinical context with the appointment workflow may suit clinics that want more than a scheduling tool, though animal files are reserved for the paid plan.

Clients can request appointments through the website and client portal, or book through Google. The practice validates requests against its availability, retaining control of the calendar while offering online access. Recurring appointments are supported, a practical fit for ongoing care.

Automatic email and SMS reminders have customizable timing and content. Online payments and deposits, electronic invoicing, and payment tracking extend the service beyond scheduling; clients can pay all or part of a consultation online. Hunimalis describes its cash-register and invoicing software as NF525-certified.

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

Pricing

The paid plan is billed monthly with no commitment, making it a lower-commitment route to the veterinary tools. Public Page costs nothing but is limited to visibility and booking; it leaves out the animal files, client-relations features, reminders, and payment functions that make Hunimalis a fuller practice-management option. A free trial is available.

Platforms

Hunimalis supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android through a recent browser. Its broad system coverage helps practices with mixed devices, without requiring a particular desktop or mobile platform.

Who it's for

Hunimalis is a strong fit for veterinary practices that want clients to book online while keeping clinical records, reminders, and payment tasks connected. Practices that need only a free listing can start with Public Page; those needing animal files and client management should budget for Online booking. It is less compelling for teams seeking only appointment scheduling.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Clinical files sit alongside booking, reminders, invoicing, and payment functions, giving veterinary practices broader coverage than a standalone calendar.
• Pros: Google, website, and client-portal booking plus recurring appointments offer clients several ways to schedule while the practice validates requests.
• Pros: No setup fees, data recovery, and free training reduce the burden of getting a practice started.
• Cons: The free plan is a public page rather than a free practice-management tier; the useful veterinary workflow requires the monthly paid plan.

Alternatives

For a wider set of scheduling options, start with Veterinary Appointment Scheduling Software. Xolotl may suit a new graduate: its New graduates plan is free for the first twelve months, then half price for the first full year, with no minimum term. SchedulingKit is a scheduling-focused alternative with a free forever tier capped at one team member, one event type, and 50 bookings per month. Veterical is another freemium option, with no limits stated for its free plan. NaVetor may appeal to practices using Patterson payment services, for which its Patterson Pay plan offers full feature access free subject to transaction-volume eligibility. AllEars.Vet is geared toward consultation and messaging volumes, with its free tier capped at 10 consultations, 20 patients, 150 chat messages, and 10 prescriptions per month. EasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics offers a free forever tier with essential features and basic booking. Provet Cloud is a paid alternative with a Core plan at $99 a month per vet and a $249/month platform fee that includes one vet. Vetilog offers a free Discovery plan for up to 100 animals, one user, and 100 Mo of documents and photos.

Verdict

Choose Hunimalis if your veterinary practice wants online booking tied to animal files, reminders, and payment workflows, with French-hosted data and support that includes training. Its main drawback is that the free plan stops at listing and booking; practices needing the management features must pay €39.00 per month. If scheduling alone is the priority, compare scheduling-focused options instead.
