Stats from the Veterinary Industry Tracker powered by Vetsource and AVMA

March 29-April 4, 2026

 

Adam Wysocki, founder of VetSoftwareHub, published an article evaluating how human healthcare’s AI evolution will transfer to veterinary care. That industry is shifting from passive databases to “agentic” AI systems that autonomously manage complex workflows.

Healthcare IT leaders have announced AI systems that handle multi-step tasks, such as scheduling, insurance verification, and clinical documentation without a human involved. Some practices have already seen positive results, such as significantly cutting authorization time and reducing billing-related service contacts.

“For veterinary software vendors who want to understand where this wave lands, dental is the most instructive analogy,” Wysocki, who recently co-authored a white paper exploring AI in veterinary practices, states. “None of this removes the clinical judgment that only a trained veterinary professional can provide. All of it removes the administrative weight that currently sits on top of that clinical judgment and slowly crushes it.”
