After a brief setup appointment with you or a trusted staff member, it typically takes us 1-2 weeks to import and map your data. If you have a large database, we may ask you to copy it and send it to us on a hard drive provided by us. Once your data is imported and mapped, we will contact you to schedule a live online training session with you and your team members. After this, your VetTools service will be live!
