VetRec automates the process of taking clinical notes for veterinarians in a matter of seconds. Veterinarians should just review clinical notes, not spend time creating them. A visit with a pet is precious and 100% of the focus should be spent on the pet, not on notes. VetRec is the veterinarian's best friend.
VetRec builds an AI-powered scribe platform designed to automate and streamline veterinary clinical documentation. Its flagship product records consultations and instantly generates fully customizable SOAP notes, surgery reports, discharge instructions, and summaries tailored to various veterinary specialties such as general practice, emergency, exotics, equine, and dental. By integrating seamlessly with practice management systems (PMS), VetRec saves veterinarians two or more hours daily, reducing administrative burden and enabling more focus on patient care[1][3][7].
Serving veterinary professionals, clinics, and enterprises, VetRec addresses the critical problem of time-consuming, error-prone manual note-taking and documentation. Its AI scribe listens to entire consultations, processes data rapidly (notes generated in under 30 seconds), and produces accurate, compliant medical records, including multilingual discharge notes. This efficiency boost supports relief veterinarians managing diverse caseloads and helps practices maintain thorough, consistent records across different settings[1][4][6].

Founded in late 2023 by Kevin Cohen (CEO) and David De Matheu (CTO), both former Microsoft engineers with extensive experience in data and AI platforms, VetRec emerged from their passion for animals and technology. The idea was born from recognizing the heavy documentation workload veterinarians face and the potential for AI to transform clinical workflows. Early traction includes VetRec’s selection by Y Combinator in 2023, placing it in the top 1% of over 24,000 applicants, and a strategic partnership with Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, which provides unlimited access to VetRec’s platform for education and research purposes[2][3][5].

VetRec rides the growing trend of AI automation in healthcare documentation, addressing the global shortage of veterinarians and increasing caseloads by reducing administrative overhead. The timing is critical as veterinary professionals face burnout and demand for higher-quality, personalized care rises. Market forces favor AI solutions that improve workflow efficiency, compliance, and patient outcomes. VetRec’s HIPAA-compliant, enterprise-grade infrastructure and broad PMS integrations position it as a key enabler of digital transformation in veterinary medicine, influencing the ecosystem by setting new standards for AI-assisted clinical documentation[2][3][4][6].

Looking ahead, VetRec is poised to expand its AI capabilities beyond note-taking to include research assistance, consult feedback, and deeper integration with practice management systems, enhancing clinical decision support. Trends such as multilingual support and AI-driven insights will shape its evolution, potentially making VetRec indispensable in veterinary workflows worldwide. As AI adoption grows in veterinary care, VetRec’s influence will likely extend from documentation efficiency to broader clinical intelligence, helping veterinarians deliver better patient outcomes while managing workload stress. This aligns with its mission to empower veterinary professionals to work smarter and improve patient care[7][8].
