Question 1

What is the best podcast about AI in veterinary medicine?

Accepted Answer

We're biased, but... ours! The Veterinary AI Brief is the only podcast focused specifically on AI in veterinary medicine for decision-makers. We skip the hype and academic theory—every episode is operator-level conversation with people who are actually building, buying, or deploying AI in vet med. Former IDEXX CEO Jon Ayers, Dr. Andy Roark, and other industry leaders share real strategic insight, not vendor pitches.

Question 2

What AI tools are veterinary practices using in 2026?

Accepted Answer

AI scribes have become the fastest-adopted new technology in veterinary medicine—and that's just the beginning. Practices are now deploying AI receptionists, automated client communications, smart scheduling, and diagnostic support tools. The interesting part? Most of this is happening around PIMS platforms, not inside them. We cover what's actually getting traction (and what's still vaporware) on the podcast.

Question 3

How are AI scribes changing veterinary workflows?

Accepted Answer

AI scribes are saving veterinarians 1-2 hours per day on documentation—that's real. But the bigger shift is what it signals: AI is moving from 'software you buy' to 'labor you deploy.' We go deep on this in our episode with Jon Ayers, covering how scribes are just the first wave of AI tools that behave like employees, not apps.

Question 4

Will AI replace veterinarians?

Accepted Answer

No—but it will replace veterinarians who don't adapt. The real disruption isn't AI doing exams. It's AI handling the 70% of practice operations that aren't medicine: calls, scheduling, follow-ups, documentation, client education. Practices that embrace this will see better throughput, happier staff, and more time for actual patient care. We talk through the practical implications regularly on the show.

Question 5

How can veterinary practice owners stay ahead on AI?

Accepted Answer

Stop chasing every shiny tool. Start with 1-3 changes that measurably improve throughput, capture more calls, or upgrade the client experience—without blowing up your workflow. That's the framework we use on Veterinary AI Brief. Subscribe and you'll get operator-level insight from people who've actually made these decisions, not vendor marketing.
