ScribbleVet Review

The verdict

ScribbleVet is an AI scribe built for veterinarians: record the appointment or dictate, hit Scribble, and a structured SOAP note is ready in about a minute with off-topic talk filtered out. It adds one-click transfer to ezyVet, Pulse and Vetspire, visual dental charts from a spoken COHAT, Care Cards for discharge, client recap emails, a medical record summarizer, Direct Dial and Plumb's drug monographs, and shows a SOC 2 Type 2 badge. Instinct Science acquired it in January 2026. Pricing is published: Essential at $40 per user per month for 150 notes, Unleashed at $150 to $200 per DVM seat with unlimited notes and free support staff seats. The catches are premium Unleashed pricing, copy and paste for PIMS outside the transfer list, and unpublished contract terms. For full-team, feature-rich documentation it is a top pick.

What ScribbleVet does

The areas we lean on most in daily use, and how ScribbleVet handles each.

How ScribbleVet works day to day

ScribbleVet, often searched as Scribble Vet, is an AI scribe built specifically for veterinarians. You record the appointment or dictate your notes on a phone or computer, hit Scribble when you are finished, and the AI writes a structured SOAP note in about a minute, filtering out off-topic conversation along the way. The note is then edited, signed and moved into your practice management system with a one-click transfer, and ScribbleVet can write a client-friendly recap email from the same visit. Founder and CEO Rohan Relan built it around a simple promise on its homepage, type less and heal more, and the company says thousands of veterinarians use it.

Ownership changed in 2026. Instinct Science, the Philadelphia company behind Instinct EMR, Plumb's and Clinician's Brief, acquired ScribbleVet in an announcement dated January 16, 2026. Rohan Relan moved into a product leadership role for intelligence products across the Instinct platform, and both companies stated that ScribbleVet will keep supporting multiple PIMS and become the first AI scribe powered by Plumb's. For buyers, that means a larger support organization behind the product, and a reason to ask how the roadmap treats practices that run a competing PIMS.

How ScribbleVet works day to day is straightforward. There is no need to speak a certain way or buy special equipment; the app runs on iOS, Android and the web, with a browser companion for desktop workflows. Draft notes are built from your own customizable templates, so the output matches your specialty and writing style, and the AI can be tuned to the level of detail you prefer. Users describe saving about five to seven minutes per patient and finishing records before they leave the clinic instead of charting at home; treat those figures as user reports and test them on your own appointment types during the trial.

The biggest benefit users describe is quality of life. The veterinary hospital no longer ends the day with a stack of unfinished medical records, because each patient record is drafted automatically while the exam happens, and the client gets a summary email before leaving the building. Emergency vets use it to keep detailed notes across a high volume of patients, so the next doctor taking over care has a clear history, and technicians keep their hands on the patient instead of writing. A few minutes saved per appointment adds up to hours each week, and better records also mean fewer missed charges and better patient care.

The feature set goes well beyond a basic veterinary scribe. Visual dental charts turn a spoken COHAT into canine and feline dental charts with observations and scores mapped to individual teeth, so hands stay on the patient and anesthesia instead of the chart. Care Cards turn discharge instructions into an easy-to-understand infographic with medication checklists, activity restrictions, incision care and a recovery timeline that clients can print or download. The medical record summarizer condenses hundreds of pages of history into a readable summary, Direct Dial places and records client calls from the clinic's verified number, the Plumb's integration gives in-the-moment access to drug monographs and handouts, and multi-lingual support lets the AI understand and write in English, Spanish, French and other languages.

Integration is where to look closely. The one-click transfer to PIMS is available for ezyVet, Covetrus Pulse, Vetspire and more, and for other systems you copy and paste the sections you need. The vendor says a draft goes from appointment to completed record in about 30 seconds of editing, but that holds only when your PIMS supports the transfer, so confirm your system before you sign. ScribbleVet displays a SOC 2 Type 2 badge on its site, which answers the most common security question from practice owners, and full team access lets technicians and front-desk staff use the tool without extra seats.

ScribbleVet pricing is published, which is rare in this category. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card that runs on the strongest AI model. The Essential plan costs $40 per user per month and includes 150 SOAP notes a month, with extra blocks of 100 notes for $20, and select core features such as one-click PIMS transfer, multi-lingual support and visual dental charts. The Unleashed plan is priced per active DVM seat at $200 per month on monthly billing or $150 per month on annual billing, with unlimited notes and templates, every AI tool including Direct Dial, Care Cards and Plumb's, and support staff included at no cost. Student, new graduate and non-profit pricing is available on request.

The honest trade-offs come down to price and fit. Unleashed sits at the premium end of veterinary AI scribes, and a full-time doctor writing 300 or more notes a month outgrows Essential quickly. Part-time DVM seat rates, contract terms and data export on cancellation are not published, so get them in writing. Reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 across 32 reviews on VetSoftwareHub, a smaller base than older dictation tools such as Talkatoo, and the best fit is general practice, emergency and busy multi-doctor clinics rather than highly specialized hospitals.

If ScribbleVet is not the right fit, the closest ScribbleVet alternatives are Scribenote, which offers a free plan and a lower-priced Pro tier, VetRec with per-vet plans, Talkatoo for dictation-first workflows, HappyDoc with flat clinic pricing for unlimited users, and the AI scribes built into practice systems such as Digitail's Tails AI.

The verdict: for practices that want accurate SOAP notes plus dental charts, Care Cards, client emails and a whole team on one plan, ScribbleVet is one of the most complete veterinary AI scribes you can buy, and its transparent pricing makes the trial easy to evaluate.
