One in two veterinarians reports less burnout and better time management when using artificial intelligence (AI) tools for administrative tasks.

These findings come from a survey by CoVet, an AI-powered co-pilot designed to streamline documentation, standardize workflows, and improve communication across veterinary teams. The company surveyed 127 veterinary professionals from clinics worldwide.

The survey found 54 per cent of respondents felt more in control of their time after adopting AI tools. Another 53 per cent reported lower burnout levels or improved work-life balance, saying AI tools allow records to be completed faster and captures consultation details thoroughly.

Interest in AI adoption was nearly universal, with 98 per cent of respondents saying they wanted to use AI for administrative work.

AI also improved client communication, according to 63 per cent of veterinary professionals surveyed.

“Veterinary medicine has an administrative problem, not a motivation problem,” says Dr. Mike Mossop, DVM, co-founder and chief veterinary officer at CoVet. “The people in this profession are deeply committed, but they’re spending too much of their time on work that pulls them away from patients. When you reduce that burden, even incrementally, you start to see a real shift in how clinicians experience their day.”

“This survey highlights how veterinarians are actually experiencing AI in practice, not as a future concept, but as a day-to-day tool that supports clinical work,” says Yannick Bloem, co-founder, CEO and CTO of CoVet. “CoVet is focused on making that transition easier, so veterinarians can spend less time on administration and more time on clinical care.”

In a press release, the company reported a user volume increase of 550 per cent across six continents and 20 languages.
