This partnership marks a significant step forward in optimizing and revolutionizing veterinary medicine by reducing administrative burdens, improving efficiency, and enhancing the experience for doctors, staff, and pet parents alike.

Seamless integration potential with Small Door’s practice management system.
Medical record and phone call summarization features that further enhance efficiency.
Exceptional support and responsiveness from the CoVet team, ensuring a smooth rollout and ongoing refinements.
"Small Door is committed to leveraging best-in-class technology to allow our doctors to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional patient care,” said Dr. Jamie Richardson, Chief Medical Officer at Small Door Veterinary. “Since implementing CoVet, our teams have significantly reduced time spent on administrative tasks, allowing them to dedicate more attention to their patients. 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.
