For NZ home-euthanasia vets — established, or about to be
Your hours, your prices, your clients — and the cases to fill them. QoLly isn't a tool you have to build a business around; it's the business. We help you get the work, keep you compliant, and carry the admin — so going independent finally adds up, and still leaves you your evenings.
What QoLly actually is
A whole business, not a piece of software — built for one vet, or two, or three, and for nobody else.
We're not trying to sell you software. We're trying to make your business a success.
A clinic needs a front office, a practice manager and an implementation project to do what you now do from the driver’s seat. Not because you’re working harder — because none of it was ever as complicated as the building made it look.
| The job | In a clinic | On your own, with QoLly |
|---|---|---|
| Getting new clients | In a clinicA marketing budget, an agency, and a practice manager to steer it. | With QoLlyYour own page, ad clicks matched to real bookings, review requests written in your words, and a referral loop back to every pet’s usual clinic. All of it yours. |
| Setting your prices | In a clinicWhatever the group decided, revisited once a year. | With QoLlyOur market study to price against, and the real cost of every case — drugs, travel, aftercare — tracked as you go, so you know what you actually keep. |
| Invoicing | In a clinicThe front office maintains the price list and raises every invoice. | With QoLlyOne tap sends the whole case to Xero as a draft invoice — GST-inclusive, reference and all. Nobody retypes anything. |
| Getting paid | In a clinicReception takes payment at the desk, and somebody chases the rest. | With QoLlyPriced, agreed, and the payment link sent before you knock — with a unique reference so the bank reconciles itself, and a follow-up if the money hasn’t landed. |
| The paperwork | In a clinicA controlled-drugs book someone has to keep, and consent forms to file. | With QoLlyThe register keeps itself as you work, and consent is signed on the owner’s phone before you arrive. |
| Getting started | In a clinicAn implementation project, a training day, and a setup fee to match. | With QoLlyTwenty minutes. Or half an hour on a call with Ray, if you’d rather not do it on your own. |
| What the back office costs | In a clinicA slice of every salary in the building, before anyone has seen a patient. | With QoLly$99 a month, flat. Roughly one case — and about 2–3% of what a busy month bills. It doesn’t go up when you do. |
No setup fee, no onboarding project, no team to hire — and no enterprise plan, which is the one thing we’ll never sell you. The moment we start building for the five-vet practice, we stop building for the one in the car.
The market study and the Google Ads guide are free and yours for the asking — email Ray and he’ll send them, whether or not you ever open a QoLly account.
Get the work
The hard part of going independent isn’t the vetting. It’s where the next case comes from. So QoLly gives you the demand side of the business, not just the paperwork that follows it.
Your own page at qolly.io/p/you — your name, your area, your tagline, tap-to-call and tap-to-text. Share it with referring clinics, point an ad at it, or print it as a QR code on your card. It’s the address you give people when they ask who you are.
Google can tell you a click cost $3. What it can’t tell you is which click became a booking — so it never learns to go and find you more of them. QoLly can. When you write the case up, it shows you the ad clicks that landed shortly before your phone rang; you tap the one that matches, and QoLly hands you the file Google needs. New to ads? We’ll give you a free, plain-English guide written for exactly this work.
In this work, your reputation is the funnel. A few days after the visit — long enough that it lands as thoughtful rather than as a chase — a gentle ask appears in your Today screen, already written in your words with your review link in it. You send it yourself, from your own thread, the way you send everything else.
When a case completes, QoLly emails the pet’s usual clinic for you — vet to vet, your wording, with the intake details and signed consent. Their records get updated, the referrals keep coming, and nobody posts a vaccination reminder to a family in mourning.
Plenty of outfits will happily send you work. You do the visits; they own the client, the brand and the margin — and the day you stop, you’ve built nothing that was ever yours. QoLly is the other way round. The families are yours, the pricing is yours, the reviews are yours, and the page they found you on has your name on it.
And you can still get help. Need a weekend off, or two calls at once? You don’t hand the client over — you delegate the case to a colleague you trust: it opens in their QoLly with everything they need to do the visit well, you set the split, and the client stays yours. How delegation works →
Because an independent practice only works if the families can find you — and keep finding you.
The big idea
Families book a home visit because they want you — not a portal, not a system. QoLly is built to keep it that way.
QoLly drafts every message. You press send.
When it's time to send the intake link, the “on my way” SMS, or the payment instructions, the message is already written and copied to your clipboard. You paste it into your own iMessage, WhatsApp, or email thread and send it yourself.
So the family always hears from you, in the thread they already know — the connection stays yours. Tweak the wording if it doesn't sound like you that day; the link inside is the only part QoLly needs you to keep intact.
Stay compliant
Controlled drugs, quietly handled. You carry pentobarbital in the car. The paperwork that goes with it has to be right — on the days you have time for it, and on the days you don't.
A register you could hand over tomorrow.
For most vets in this work the controlled-drugs register is a notebook. QoLly's keeps itself: every receipt, mix, administration, disposal and transfer logged as you work, and corrections made as proper strike-through amendments rather than tidy rewrites.
Safes, bottles with batch numbers and expiries, your usual cocktails, prepared vials, every ledger entry — all of it updating as you go, and printing or exporting whenever someone asks to see it.
Consent belongs to the same pile, so it's handled the same way: signed on the owner's phone before you arrive, timestamped on the case, and attached to the clinic email and the aftercare handoff. The hardest ten minutes of the visit aren't spent finding a pen.
You can also keep the register you have and use QoLly for everything else. Plenty do, at first.
Stay organised
Intake, scheduling, payments, mileage, aftercare, keepsakes. The week's admin, quietly handled — so the time you win goes back into your practice and your evenings, not into the next form.
Today shows what's ready for you — owners who've submitted intake and need a time, today's appointments with one-tap call and directions in Apple or Google Maps (your pick), and follow-ups like check payment that appear automatically so nothing falls through the cracks.
Opens straight to todaySend a single short link by text. The owner fills in their pet's details, your visit address, three preferred times, their aftercare choice, and signs consent — all on their phone. The form takes them about two minutes. No paperwork chasing on the day.
Two minutes for the ownerPick your aftercare partner in Settings. Their cremation tiers and keepsake catalog appear on the owner's intake form with your markup pre-applied, so owners see your prices and you see what you'll be paid. After the visit, the partner gets a handoff with everything they need. And it isn't a closed list — any aftercare provider can join QoLly; if yours isn't on it yet, point them our way.
Pick partner onceThe owner gets a payment link with your bank details and a unique reference. When they've sent it, they tap I've made the payment — so you get a nudge to check the bank instead of refreshing internet banking for days. You tick paid when the money lands, and if a case finishes unpaid, a check payment follow-up appears in your Today screen automatically — so it doesn't slip your mind for three weeks. And because every payment carries its own unique reference, your bank statement reconciles itself.
No card processor neededConnect your Xero organisation once in Settings. From then on, one tap on a case raises the whole bill as a draft invoice in Xero — GST-inclusive, with the invoice reference matching the owner's payment reference. When the money lands, reconciliation just lines up: no retyping line items, no copy-paste bookkeeping at the end of the month.
One tap to a draft invoiceSet your home address once. QoLly quietly records the one-way driving distance to each visit — calculated with Google, snapshotted on the case so it never changes if an address is edited later. No logbook, no odometer photos; at tax time it's all there to total and export. If you charge for travel, QoLly works the fee out for you from the same distance — a free distance, then a per-km rate — and the owner sees it up front. Or be generous, visibly: show the fee and credit some or all of it back, so the owner sees the discount right on their payment link.
Captured when you finishTake a photo of the nose or a paw on your phone, and QoLly turns it into a clean ink-style print the family can frame — background lifted away, ink colour and contrast tuned with a couple of sliders.

Not doing this yet?
You don’t have to already be doing this. If you’re a clinic vet who wants more control over your schedule — or a bit more income on your own terms — QoLly gives you the whole business, not just the software: your own page, your pricing worked out, your compliance sorted, and the tools to find your first families.
Molly did exactly this. QoLly is the system she wishes she’d had when she started — which is why your free 30-minute call is as much about how to start as it is about the app. Ask us for the market study while you’re there: what people really charge, and where the gaps are.
Sign up in 2026 and we’ll make you a brochure in your own colours — designed to bring families in, and yours to print or hand to a clinic — on us.

First month free
Simple pricing
$99/month for the whole practice — flat. Not per vet, not per case, no tiers to upgrade into. Your first month is free and no card is required to start; cancel any time from your settings, in one tap.
One case a month more than covers it — and QoLly is built to bring you those cases, not just tidy them up.
Built for solo and small independent vets. There’s no enterprise tier and there won’t be: if you’re a 5-vet group, we’re not the right fit — and that’s on purpose.
Everything here is shaped around one vet — or two, or three — doing this work properly: your prices, your standards, your clients. We’d rather you tried it on real cases for a month and decided for yourself than signed up to anything on day one.
Your data is always yours — you own it, not us. Download everything to a file whenever you like, including if you ever cancel.
And you’re never on your own. Every new vet gets a free 30-minute call — and it’s as much about your prices, your service area and where your next cases come from as it is about the software. After that, support is unlimited and free: you email ray@qolly.io, and Ray answers, because Ray is the one who wrote it.
Who it's for
QoLly is designed for the vet who does this work alone, or with one or two others — driving between visits, writing texts at red lights, juggling intake forms on the kitchen bench at 9 pm. And for the vet who hasn't started yet, but has done the sums on the back of an envelope more than once. It's made for exactly this work — one vet, one family at a time — and it does that one job properly.
Your client stays yours
Here is the mechanism, since it's the part people ask about. The family texts you; you send one short reply — thirty seconds, from wherever you are — then delegate the case, and it opens in your cover's QoLly: the intake, the address, the notes, everything they need to do the visit well. You set the split — a percentage, a flat amount, or something you've already shaken hands on — and both of you see the same numbers. When they're done it's back in your books, and the client never had to learn a new name. Whoever answers that first text owns the relationship; with QoLly, that's still you.
Plainly asked
A note from Ray
QoLly is Molly and Ray — a veterinarian and a software developer, in New Zealand. No corporate, no investors, no offshore help desk.
(The name is QoL, quality of life — kept safe by Qolly the collie, down in the footer.)
We'd rather give you the map, build the tools, and leave the practice yours.
Hey — Ray here. Here's how you can hold us to everything on this page. We don't measure ourselves on sign-ups, or on how long you stay. We measure whether your cases went up — four a month when you joined, nine a year later. It's the only number in this business worth putting our name to, and it's what I ask about on every call.
And if it doesn't do something you need? Email me — that's usually how the next feature gets built. ray@qolly.io. I answer them all.
— Ray
