The Veterinary Social Media Roundup: 25 Accounts to Follow in 2027

Last updated: October 2026

Summary: Social media is where a lot of veterinary learning, news, and community happens now. This updated roundup covers 25 accounts across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcasts, organized by what you want out of your feed: veterinary AI news and industry trends, practice management and leadership, veterinary technician wellbeing, and clinical education. We verified every account for this edition, corrected handles that changed since our 2025 list, retired accounts we could no longer find, and added new voices from organizations like NAVTA, VHMA, and Not One More Vet. We close with how the best veterinary AI scribe can give your team the time to actually enjoy that learning instead of spending evenings on charts.

Why Your Feed Matters for Your Career

Most veterinarians never got social media training in school. The AVMA says as much in its Social Media 101 series for veterinary clinics, which walks practices through strategy, policies, and content. But your personal feed matters too. The right accounts deliver quick clinical pearls, early warnings about industry changes, and the reminder that other people are dealing with the same hard days you are.

That last part is not small. In NAVTA's 2022 demographic survey, 70% of veterinary technicians said they had experienced burnout, and 65% cited compassion fatigue. A feed full of people who get it, and who model boundaries, can help.

A quick rule before you start following: treat social content as a starting point, not a CE substitute. Use it to find topics worth digging into, then go to the primary source.

Veterinary AI News and Industry Trends

AI tools for vets went from novelty to mainstream in about two years. According to the Companion Animal Veterinary Software Guide, Part VII, half of North American practices now have at least one staff member using an AI scribe. The category is also consolidating fast, with Instinct Science acquiring ScribbleVet and IDEXX acquiring CoVet. These accounts help you keep up.

• Added: Industry news sources, practice management voices, and vet tech advocates, including dvm360, the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, VHMA, NAVTA, NOMV, Dr. Andy Roark, and Ellen Carozza.

Less Charting, More Time to Learn: Finding the Best Veterinary AI Scribe

Every educator on this list has something in common with you: they finish their records before they make content. For most clinicians, that's the hard part. If you've ever explained what does SOAP stand for (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) to a new hire, you know a good SOAP note takes real time to write. Multiply that by a full appointment book, and SOAP charting is why so many vets catch up on vet notes after dinner instead of catching up on their favorite podcast.

That's where the best veterinary AI scribe earns its keep. Here's what to look for when you compare the best veterinary AI scribe software:

1. It writes back to your veterinary PIMS. Your finished veterinary SOAP notes should land in your actual veterinary EMR software, not a copy and paste window. See our integrations for Cornerstone, AVImark, ezyVet, and more.
2. It's trained on veterinary medicine. Drug names, species, and clinical shorthand separate a usable SOAP note example from generic transcription. Our guide to what makes a good veterinary SOAP note shows the difference.
3. It fits a simple virtual scribe workflow. Record the visit, review the draft, approve, done.
4. It's independent. After this year's acquisitions, ownership matters. Read Who Owns Your Veterinary AI Scribe? to see why.
5. It's secure. Look for independent proof like SOC 2 Type II certification.

HappyDoc is an independent, US-based AI assistant for veterinary medicine trained on more than 2 million real veterinary appointments, SOC 2 Type II certified, and built to write structured notes straight into the PIMS you already use.
