Coggo or VetRec?
Both are AI scribes for veterinarians. The differences matter once you start using one daily. Here is an honest, side-by-side comparison.
VetRec was one of the first AI scribes targeting veterinarians and has a solid track record with English-speaking small animal clinics. Coggo is the newer entrant, built specifically for multi-species, multi-language practices and mid-sized clinic groups.

Feature-by-feature.
The differences in detail.
Languages — built in, not bolted on
Coggo is the only veterinary AI scribe with native support for 10 languages, all human-translated by professional translators familiar with veterinary terminology. VetRec is English-only. If you practice in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Hindi — Coggo is the only option that takes your locale seriously.
Species depth — 14 species, not just dogs and cats
Coggo ships with 25 equine templates, 15 bovine, 13 avian, plus rabbit, ferret, guinea pig, reptile, hedgehog, sugar glider, ovine, caprine, and porcine — alongside the 20 canine and 17 feline templates. VetRec is primarily built for small animal practice. If your clinic sees horses, livestock, or exotics, the difference is significant.
Vitals — capture them by voice
Coggo extracts vitals from what you say during the exam. "Weight is 28 kilos, temp 38.5" becomes structured data. Nine vital types tracked, units auto-converted, always shown for approval. VetRec does not currently extract vitals from voice.
Multi-clinic without enterprise sales calls
Coggo includes multi-clinic, role-based permissions, and audit logging in both Pro annual and Pro monthly plans. VetRec gates multi-clinic behind enterprise sales. For mid-sized clinic groups, this is a meaningful pricing difference.
