Best card machine for veterinary practices

Independent and chain vet practices. High-value emergency transactions plus routine care. Insurance-linked transactions add complexity.

Our pick

Dojo Go with PoS integration

Acquirer: Dojo or specialist healthcare acquirer

Vet practices need fast, reliable card flow at the desk plus integration with practice-management software (RX Works, ezyVet). Dojo handles the core card flow well; specialist healthcare acquirers add the integration depth.

Why this trade matters

Cashflow shape: Routine care steady plus emergency-payment lumps. Insurance-direct billing complicates the flow.
Average transaction: £60 to £500+
Contactless share: ~55%

Watch outs

Insurance-direct billing reduces card-payment volume.
Emergency-payment scenarios need reliable fallback if the primary terminal fails.

Alternatives

Square Terminal (independent practices)
Stripe (multi-site groups with own software stack)

Take your trade. We do the rest.

Named UK account team for the life of the agreement. Acquirer pays our commission on completed introductions, so it costs you nothing on top.

24/7 dedicated support
Direct line to a named UK account manager, not a generic acquirer helpline. When your terminal goes down on a Saturday night you call us.
Quarterly rate reviews
As your card volume grows your rate should drop. We renegotiate against the 80+ UK acquirer panel every quarter, so you never overpay because you forgot to ask.
Chargeback and dispute help
UK chargebacks cost £15 to £35 per case and 60-80% are friendly fraud you can win with the right evidence. We draft the response and escalate where the acquirer drags its feet.
Switching support when you outgrow
If a better acquirer fit emerges as you grow we manage the cutover. No exit-fee surprises, no dual-running gap. Same account team across acquirers.
