Backup internet for veterinary clinics
From the FAILOVER5 team at Twisted VoIP, Chandler, Arizona · Updated October 2026
Vet clinics run on cloud records, reference lab results and card payments, and many take emergency walk-ins all day. An outage means a tech can't pull a patient's history while the owner is standing at the counter with a sick dog.
Systems that go dark
- Cloud practice software such as ezyVet, Shepherd and Covetrus Pulse
- Results and orders with IDEXX and Antech reference labs
- Card payments and pet insurance claims at checkout
- Reminder texts, online booking and two-way messaging
Digital radiographs
X-ray and ultrasound images are large files. If your imaging uploads to the cloud or to a radiologist, it can wait for the main line. Viewing, charting and checkout run fine on cellular.
Emergency and after-hours practices
Overnight teams are small and busy. With automatic failover, nobody has to stop treating a patient to reset a modem.
Suggested plan: 20 GB plan, $123/month
Records, lab results and checkout fit easily in 20 GB, including phones.
Compare all plansQuestions we hear from veterinary clinics
- Will in-house lab analyzers keep working?
- Analyzers usually run locally. What needs the internet is sending results into your cloud records, and the backup handles that.
- Can clients still pay with pet insurance at checkout?
- Yes, as long as the payment and claim go through your internet connection. The backup keeps them going.
Does it pay for itself?
The 20 GB plan is $1,476 a year. It pays for itself if it saves about 8 visits a year.
Think about your last outage: how many visits did it cost you?
