In modern veterinary medicine, we face a paradox. We have access to more advanced diagnostics and treatments than ever before, yet many of us feel we have less time for what truly matters: attentive patient care and meaningful conversations with pet parents. The weight of administrative tasks, disconnected systems, and practice management pressures drains our energy. This is where Veetz's philosophy comes in. We believe technology, especially AI, isn’t here to replace a veterinarian's intuition and empathy, but to set them free.

Veetz is Now a Registered Trademark: Our Official Commitment to the Security and Future of Veterinary Medicine​

Today, we celebrate a pivotal milestone in our journey of innovation and technology. We are proud to announce that Veetz is now an officially registered trademark. More than just a legal seal of protection, this registration is the embodiment of our long-term commitment to you, our customer, and to the future of veterinary medicine we are building together.

A client walks in, phone in hand, asking if turmeric could help their dog's arthritis. Another asks about CBD oil for their cat's anxiety. The world of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements for pets is booming, leaving many veterinary professionals at the intersection of client curiosity and clinical evidence. How do you guide pet owners through this complex landscape? The key lies in an evidence-based approach and, critically, meticulous documentation.

As a veterinary professional, you see it every day. A client doesn't just say their dog is "unwell"; they say she's "sad," "anxious," or "jealous" of the new puppy. For years, these descriptions have been part of the daily dialogue in clinics worldwide. A fascinating study published in the National Library of Medicine (PMC8274477) now provides scientific weight to what we've always known intuitively: owners perceive their dogs as complex emotional beings, and this perception is the bedrock of the human-animal bond. This isn't a challenge to navigate—it's your greatest asset.

If you've been in the veterinary field in Brazil for a while, the names Vetnnet or AnimalCode might ring a bell. You might have used our software, seen our brand at an event, or heard about us from a colleague. Today, you might be searching for those names and wondering where they went. The short answer is: we evolved. This article tells the story of our journey—from a pioneering desktop application to a modern, global, AI-powered platform—and explains why Vetnnet and AnimalCode are now Veetz.

Our story is one of constant evolution, driven by a single mission: to empower veterinary professionals with technology that simplifies management and enhances animal care. Let's take a walk down memory lane.

October 1918. Amid the chaos of the Argonne Forest in France, more than 500 American soldiers from the "Lost Battalion" are trapped. Surrounded by enemy forces and taking casualties from friendly fire due to a lack of communication, their situation is desperate. Major Charles Whittlesey's last hope lies in a small creature: his last homing pigeon, named Cher Ami. A message is attached to his leg: "We are along the road parallel to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heaven's sake, stop it."

Upon release, Cher Ami is immediately hit by enemy fire. He falls but miraculously takes flight again. Twenty-five minutes later, he arrives at his loft, blind in one eye, shot through the breast, with a leg hanging only by a tendon—but with the message capsule still attached. Thanks to him, 194 soldiers were saved. Beyond his unquestionable bravery, a question echoes in the mind of any scientist or veterinarian: how?

How does a pigeon, even when wounded and under extreme stress, navigate with pinpoint accuracy over miles to return home? The answer lies not in magic, but in one of nature's most sophisticated guidance systems—a true biological GPS.

The Mirai Effect: What AI's Success in Cancer Prediction Means for Veterinary Medicine​

Imagine being able to predict a patient's risk of developing breast cancer up to five years before any clinical signs appear. This isn't science fiction; it's the reality of "Mirai," a groundbreaking artificial intelligence model developed by researchers at MIT. By analyzing thousands of mammograms, Mirai learned to identify incredibly subtle patterns that are often invisible to the human eye, creating a new frontier in preventative human medicine. This breakthrough is more than just a headline—it's a powerful demonstration of where medicine is headed.

But what does a revolutionary AI for human oncology have to do with your veterinary practice? Everything. The same principles that power Mirai are poised to transform AI in veterinary medicine, offering a future where we can move from reactive treatment to proactive, predictive care for animals.

Silent Patients: How AI Helps Vets Avoid Common Feline Diagnostic Traps​

A 12-year-old cat presents with vague symptoms: slightly decreased appetite and "just not acting like himself." Is it early-stage kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or just a normal sign of aging? Every veterinarian faces this puzzle daily. Cats are masters of hiding illness, an evolutionary instinct that makes them uniquely challenging patients. This clinical reality creates diagnostic traps that can lead to delayed treatment and client anxiety. The critical question isn't just "what's wrong?" but "what subtle clues am I missing?"

This guide explores the most common feline diagnostic errors and demonstrates how AI-powered algorithms—the kind of technology working behind the scenes in Veetz—can serve as your 'second opinion,' helping you diagnose cats correctly and with greater confidence.

From Conflict to Connection: A Vet's Guide to Mastering Difficult Client Conversations​

The waiting room is tense. A client's voice is rising, their words laced with frustration over a bill or a treatment plan. Every veterinarian has been there. These moments are stressful, but they are also pivotal. Handled with skill and empathy, a difficult conversation can transform a client's frustration into lasting loyalty and trust. The key isn't avoiding conflict, but learning to navigate it with confidence. At Veetz, our goal is to streamline your clinic's technology so you have more energy for these critical human connections.

This guide provides five actionable strategies to help you master veterinary client communication, turning challenging moments into opportunities to strengthen your practice.
