HappyDoc raises $2.2M to transform veterinary care through AI innovation
HappyDoc recently closed $2.2 million of funding led by Range Ventures, with support from Service Provider Capital, Kickstart, and angel investors within the veterinary industry. This milestone is a significant step toward redefining the future of veterinary practice through artificial intelligence.
With this investment, HappyDoc can continue its mission to create a best-in-class AI scribe that is purpose-built to meet the unique needs of veterinarians, giving them back valuable time to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.
Filling a critical gap in veterinary medicine
AI has become a transformative force across many industries, but veterinary medicine has largely been left out of this new wave of technical innovation. The effects are felt daily by veterinarians who navigate time-consuming documentation and administrative work that pulls them away from their patients. Burnout is a pervasive issue in the veterinary field, where long hours, emotionally demanding cases, and the pressure to balance quality care with business efficiency take a toll.
At HappyDoc, we believe our AI scribe has the power to change this dynamic, empowering vets to focus on what they do best — delivering compassionate, expert care to pets and their families.
The HappyDoc AI scribe is an easy-to-implement yet powerful solution that empowers veterinarians to adopt new technology with a minimal learning curve. For vets, this means spending less time at the computer and more time engaging with clients and pets. Our AI scribe is designed to be an extension of each veterinarian’s workflow, with the capability to capture notes, retrieve patient histories, and handle documentation tasks that would otherwise eat up valuable time.
Plus, with more accurate and comprehensive records, the risks associated with record-keeping errors decrease, minimizing potential litigation or misunderstandings in treatment plans in collaborative care.
Funded for impact: How we’re using $2.2 Million to drive real change
Already, HappyDoc is making an impact with thousands of veterinary professionals across all 50 states and internationally. Our technology supports thousands of hours of veterinary appointments each day, enhancing efficiency in clinics of all sizes. To date, we have generated medical records for over a million pets, and our user base continues to expand.
For veterinarians like Dr. Megan Garrison from PetVet365, HappyDoc has been nothing short of transformative:
“HappyDoc is a life-changing tool in veterinary medicine. I’ve gained an hour or two of my life back every day, allowing me to focus on what I love—caring for animals. It’s a game-changer for our industry and has truly revolutionized how we practice quality medicine with work-life balance in mind.”
Veterinarians nationwide echo these sentiments. Dr. Jenn Nguyen of Bishop Ranch Veterinary Clinic highlights, “HappyDoc has helped me cut down on late nights and finish records accurately, without sacrificing details. Thank you for creating this system—it’s amazing.”
The recent $2.2 million fundraise enables HappyDoc to further develop and refine its platform, expand its engineering team, and push forward its vision to become the gold standard in AI for veterinary practices.
“Emerson and the HappyDoc team are bringing much-needed innovation to the vet world. They are saving vets a lot of time, improving clinical workflows, and have developed a novel and frictionless approach to integrating AI into legacy veterinarian systems. This has the potential to be a game-changer for the industry.” —Matt Smith, Principal at Kickstart
The new funding will support HappyDoc in reaching critical milestones that move it closer to its long-term vision of becoming a full-service AI assistant. Ultimately, the goal is to eliminate time-consuming administrative tasks and let veterinarians redirect their focus to patients and clinical decision-making, fostering a more sustainable practice environment where veterinarians can thrive professionally and personally.
