VetKeystone keeps your DEA controlled-substance records, CURES reporting, and USDA health certificates in one audit-grade ledger — so an unannounced DEA visit is a non-event. Built for independent practices. No cabinet. No consultant.
You already know this matters — and that's exactly the problem. The fear is real, the rules contradict each other, and the binder never feels finished. VetKeystone's job is to make it handled, and boring.
You shouldn't get a cold sweat when someone says "DEA."
Today, an independent practice stitches together a controlled-substance tool, a separate health-certificate service, and a periodic consultant — three vendors and a federal portal for one compliance posture. VetKeystone is the single ledger that covers all three.
Every Schedule II–V event in one immutable, audit-ready ledger.
Dispensing reported to CURES on the required cycle — automatically.
Interstate CVIs that know the destination state's import rules.
No one else covers all three. Controlled-substance tools skip CVIs; certificate tools ignore controlled substances; the dispensing cabinets cost five figures and price out independents. VetKeystone is the ledger built for the practice that holds its own DEA registration.
Every controlled-substance dispense, administration, and waste recorded in seconds — reconciled against your physical counts, not pieced together at the end of the day.
Submissions are formatted to the state's spec and filed on the required cycle, with an alert before any window closes. No portal, no re-keying.
Two years of complete records — log, inventories, 222s, CURES — in a one-click audit packet. An unannounced visit becomes a five-minute formality.
Founding members get hands-on onboarding, founding-member pricing, and a direct line to the team building it. In return we ask for honest feedback. No long contracts — export your records and walk anytime.
Diversion is usually internal — and roughly one in three practices has seen it. VetKeystone keeps an airtight, time-stamped chain of custody on every controlled drug, so a discrepancy is a question you can answer in minutes, not a crisis that threatens your registration.
VetKeystone exists because compliance shouldn't take a binder, a cabinet, and a $4,000 consultant. We're building the system of record we wished independent practices already had — calm, exact, and on your side when the inspector walks in.
SOC 2 Type II — on the roadmap. We'll say so the day an audit is underway, and not before.
Founding-member rates, locked for early adopters. Cancel and export your records anytime.

Most PIMS treat a controlled drug like any other line item — they don't produce a DEA-defensible disposition log that reconciles to your physical counts and survives an inspection. That's why several major PIMS hand controlled-substance compliance to a specialist tool rather than build it. VetKeystone is that specialist layer — plus the CURES reporting and CVIs your PIMS doesn't touch.
We're starting with California (CURES) and adding states deliberately. We only claim states we actually cover and have verified against the current rule — never a vague "all 50."
DEA inspections are unannounced and increasingly driven by data analytics, and you can't backfill a two-year log after the fact. The whole point of VetKeystone is that you never have to think about it — you're simply always ready.
Encrypted, US-hosted, immutable audit trail, daily backups — and you own and can export your full records anytime. We never need client PHI to run the ledger. We'd rather be more defensible than the loose-leaf binder you have today.
Founding-member pricing starts at $299/month, with no long contract. The honest frame: it costs a small fraction of a single recordkeeping citation, and it gives your team back the nightly reconciliation hour. Book a review and we'll walk your actual setup.
We'll walk your actual records through a DEA + CURES audit checklist with you — and show you exactly where the gaps are. Free, whether or not you ever use VetKeystone.
