  • Veterinary AI Trends for 2026: The Apps, Systems and Questions that will Reshape Practices

    Veterinary AI Trends for 2026: The Apps, Systems and Questions that will Reshape Practices
    Dec 24 2025

    It's our holiday "step-back" episode: what actually mattered in veterinary AI in 2025—and what's most likely to hit practices hard in 2026. With special guest Jon Ayers, Robert, Adam and Aaron map the rapidly changing landscape: the breakout adoption of AI scribes, the "app explosion" happening around (not inside) PIMS platforms, and why the next year will be less about "tech toys" and more about AI as labor—tools that behave like employees and move spend from software budgets into staffing/COGS. We also get blunt about the reality in clinics: you only have so much change-management budget. So the question isn't "What's the coolest new tool?"—it's "What 1–3 changes will measurably improve throughput, capture more calls, and upgrade the pet owner experience without blowing up your workflow?" In this episode: Why many practices should not switch PIMS in 2026—and what to do instead How scribes became the fastest "new tech" adoption in vet med (and what that signals next) The PIMS platform dilemma: be the ecosystem enabler or get labeled the bottleneck The coming wave: AI receptionists, online booking, and next-gen client communications A practical way to "pick your shots" in 2026 so change doesn't stall everything The bigger stakes: pet-owner economics, access to care, and why regulation may need to evolve If you want a clear, actionable lens for evaluating the flood of tools—and choosing the moves that actually change outcomes—this is the one.
