Should you use Vetinuity or CoVet for veterinary documentation?
ExampleStart with what happens in the exam room. A client walks in with a blocked cat. You know what is wrong. She does not speak English, and you do not know which language she does speak. Vetinuity detects the language on its own, you talk back and forth the way you always would, and the medical record writes itself from that exact conversation. The clinical insight you need is drawn from the medical record with the journal reference cited, the discharge goes home in the client's language, and the emergency drug math is sitting right there.

It is a clinical assistant for the whole visit, and it is independent, built and owned by a practicing emergency veterinarian who still uses it on shift. Your records and your workflow do not live inside a larger vendor's platform. Transcription is the floor it stands on, not the ceiling.
Does Vetinuity translate the exam live?
Yes. Vetinuity detects the client's language from the exam you are recording, across 80+ languages. Tap Start translation and Kira, the on-screen interpreter, speaks each line aloud in the other language, both directions, with the words on screen.
The SOAP note and the client-facing summary both come out of that same conversation. Spanish is the everyday case, not the limit. This has been running in production since July 2026.
Does Vetinuity cite its clinical sources?
Yes. Clinical insights are built from the medical record, and each one cites its journal reference so you can read the source in seconds.
It is the question you needed answered without posting on a forum or running the deep dive yourself. The reference comes with it, not later.
Does Vetinuity write the record from the conversation?
Yes. The record is written from the exam conversation, and the discharge instructions go home in the client's own language from that same visit. Nothing to install in your record system, and the note pastes in with its formatting intact.
Because it was built by an emergency veterinarian for the exam room, the emergency drug and CRI calculators live right next to the note (beta, verify before you use).
Who owns Vetinuity, and who owns CoVet?
Vetinuity is independent, built and owned by Brian Toncray, a practicing emergency veterinarian. In September 2026, CoVet was acquired by IDEXX, a large veterinary diagnostics and software company.1
Who owns the tool shapes where it goes. Vetinuity's roadmap answers to what happens in the exam room, and your notes, your recordings, and your workflow are not held inside a diagnostics platform's ecosystem.
