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. But in 2025, many clinics across Canada are finding that their older monitors can’t keep up with today’s needs—whether it’s due to limited features, outdated software, or reliability issues.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.

Why Canadian Clinics Are Upgrading Their Veterinary Monitors?

1. Improved Accuracy & Reliability

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

2. Better Workflow Integration

Touchscreen interfaces, wireless functionality, and USB data exports reduce technician workload and improve documentation.


3. Multi-Species Support

Today’s monitors offer presets and calibration options for dogs, cats, and exotic animals—reducing guesswork and improving outcomes.


4. More Compact and Portable

New-generation monitors are smaller and lighter without sacrificing functionality—ideal for mobile vets, dental suites, and tight surgical spaces.
