Is It Time to Upgrade Your Veterinary Patient Monitor? Here’s What Canadian Clinics Are Choosing in 2025

Most veterinary clinics already rely on patient monitors as a core part of surgery and recovery. However, in 2025, many clinics across Canada are finding that their older monitors can’t keep up with today’s needs. This is often due to limited features, outdated software, or reliability issues.


If you’re evaluating whether it’s time to replace or upgrade your veterinary patient monitor, this guide will walk you through what to look for, what’s trending, and how to choose a reliable option that meets the demands of a modern veterinary practice.



Importance of Upgrading Veterinary Monitors


Why Canadian Clinics Are Upgrading Their Veterinary Monitors?


1. Improved Accuracy & Reliability

Older monitors may lose accuracy over time. They might also lack critical updates. New models are faster, more precise, and less prone to hardware or software failure.


2. Better Workflow Integration

Modern monitors offer touchscreen interfaces and wireless functionality. These features significantly reduce technician workload and improve documentation, making procedures more efficient.


3. Multi-Species Support

Today’s veterinary monitors come equipped with presets and calibration options for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. This not only reduces guesswork but also improves outcomes for diverse patient types.


4. More Compact and Portable

The new generation of monitors is smaller and lighter without sacrificing functionality. This makes them ideal for mobile vets, dental suites, and tight surgical spaces.
