Veterinary Practice Software: AI Visibility Ranking

Practice management and medical record software for veterinary clinics and animal hospitals. Right now, ezyVet is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 68 and the #1 spot in 40% of answers. Head-to-head: ezyVet vs Shepherd →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

ezyVet dominates veterinary software AI recommendations by a wide margin.

ezyVet's 67.9 score versus Digitail's 35 tells the story plainly: this is not a competitive race at the top. ezyVet is the first pick 40% of the time and holds strong scores across all three models, with its weakest showing on Claude still outpacing most rivals' best numbers. The brands behind it are essentially splitting a distant second tier, with Avimark and Cornerstone leaning heavily on Claude while Digitail's strength is almost entirely a Gemini phenomenon.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: PetDesk (4.7), NaVetor (4.6), Square (4), Google Workspace (3.3), Ping Identity (3.3). 75 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 32/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
