With 95% of our medical records now generated using CoVet, we’ve seen tangible improvements in efficiency and doctor satisfaction, reinforcing our commitment to both medical excellence and a best-in-class work environment.”
This collaboration represents the first step in a broader initiative to integrate AI across Small Door’s operations, streamlining workflows while maintaining gold-standard veterinary care. In addition to improving patient outcomes, the adoption of AI-driven solutions plays a crucial role in Small Door’s strategic growth, scalability, and commitment to financial sustainability as the company nears profitability.
