Dolitl is a Large Animal Practice Management Software that lives on a server. It brings traditionally separate systems such as cattle tracing, milk recording and drug supplier ordering under one system accessible over the Internet. It ensures records and documents from mobile laptops and other sites are available to all authorized employees and usable offline when no Internet connection is available.
Dolitl built with web technologies. It is not a “web-enabled” application – it is a website. However, it runs like an Intranet (a private version of the Internet), a website that comes from a central server available only to the company where it resides. It also allows restricted outside access so that it can be used in the field by employees.
The software’s Server is simple to install and easy to maintain as it’s all in one place. It can be accessed by computers connected directly to that server; these are called “local” users. If the server is connected to the Internet, dolitl can also be accessed by offsite “remote” users – as long as they have a connection to the Internet. Dolitl highly compatible with peripheral devices and means that there is no need for any server configuration to use scanners, printers and other external devices.
The web application is built with ASP.NET, which is the code that delivers web pages to your browser. Other communication service technologies are used to provide a faster web experience in addition to enabling easy integration with other systems, such those run by the wholesale drug suppliers. The entire application runs using the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework, which takes care of memory management and transactions providing a stable and safe environment for the application to execute in.
Dolitl is connected to the Internet, and so any other computer also connected will be capable of using it. This makes getting to work as easy as getting online from any equipment running a suitable web browser. File replication is a necessity, and Amazon S3 provides a simple facility to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. And Dolitl has it!! Dolitl uses this capacity to copy files between sites so that you will have access to them all, again ensuring they are not kept in one place.
Being on the web, dolitl can be used by just about any device capable of using the Internet. From the home desktop, laptop or smart phone – anything with a web browser can potentially be used to view the system. Any changes can be viewed immediately by everyone at the same branch, and after a short delay, at all branches.
The license gives you the right to use dolitl for the subscription period. The fee is determined by the number of carers and dolitl site installations. Carers are “employees who generate revenue because of the functionality of dolitl” (typically vets, clinicians and nurses) but not back office administration staff or receptionists as they are granted a free license. A web license allows the practice to have a public website that integrates with dolitl. This means customers can login, view their account and settle invoices. The website also enables the practice to sell items online. Click here to learn more how will the cost of dolitl be calculated.
You are welcome to try out a demo version of the dolitl application. The demonstration uses an imaginary veterinary practice called Seriously Large Animal Veterinary Centre.

The dolitl name comes from a contemporary take on Dr John Dolittle, the familiar character created by Hugh Lofting.
It’s a myth that you should rarely bathe your dog. Show dogs are usually bathed weekly and are in fantastic condition. Bathe to your heart’s content. The key is to brush often (daily for some dogs) to keep the natural oils distributed in the coat. The other key is that when you shampoo, rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly. In the case of a long or thick-coated dog this usually means using a dog blow dryer (which doesn’t deliver heat – very important, only powerful air) and drying right down to the skin (brush as you blow to “fluff” the dog). Nails are easier to trim after bathing as they’re softened up. There are lots of “self-service” bathing stations in pet stores these days if you don’t want to make a mess of your own bathroom or don’t want to use the yard. You can use the following products to bath your dogs: Pet Aromatic Woodsy Woof Dog Bath, Booster Bath Plastic Dog Bath, Indoor – Outdoor Pet Shower
