Executive Summary
Veterinary medicine enters 2026 amidst unprecedented interest in artificial intelligence. Search volume for “veterinary AI” increased 1,680% year-over-year, reaching 335,000 searches last month, indicating mainstream awareness and a shift toward operational adoption within clinical workflows.
One of the highest-velocity subcategories within this broader movement is the AI scribe, driven by reclaiming time, reducing documentation burdens, and bottoms-up growth. This report uses traffic and search trend data from global site traffic providers and Google Trends to benchmark the companies shaping this rapidly expanding category across:
- Veterinary-native AI scribe companies
- Veterinary practice platforms with embedded AI scribe modules
- Human medical scribe companies entering the veterinary market
The report concludes with what veterinary leaders should expect in 2026 and previews the upcoming Exponential Veterinary Trends 2026 report.
These signals reflect a profession responding to:
- Renewed focus on preserving veterinary well-being while addressing efficiency opportunities
- Growth in AI-powered clinical tools with strong promotion across veterinary channels
- Increasing cross-pollination of human health tools to the veterinary space
AI scribes are emerging as one of the most visible trends as we move into 2026.
Macro Trend: Veterinary AI Goes Mainstream
Search interest in veterinary AI has entered a period of exponential acceleration:
- “Veterinary AI” — 1,680% YoY growth
- “Veterinary AI scribe” — 160% YoY growth
These signals reflect a profession responding to:
- Persistent staffing shortages
- Growth in AI-powered clinical tools
- Increasing familiarity with human medical AI tools
AI scribes are emerging as one of the most visible trends as we move into 2026.
Why AI Scribes Matter in Veterinary Medicine
Documentation is of the most time consuming tasks for veterinarians with individuals spending 1+ hours per day. Accurate documentation is essential for patient safety and care and is critical for legal and regulatory reasons.
AI scribes help to alleviate these burdens by:
- Capturing full exam room context
- Supporting new graduates with more consistent structure
- Reclaiming hours of clinical time currently spent on administrative tasks
These improvements align with both economic goals (increased capacity) and well-being goals (reduced clinician burnout). While early, today’s market leaders are already promoting 1-2 hour savings/per day for their user base.
Industry experts have pegged current penetration of scribe solutions between 10-25% and it is one of the fastest growing technologies of all-time.
