In this episode of the Paws and Effect Podcast Dr Carra jumps into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence in veterinary practice with her special guest, Dr Paris Ryf from Zoetis, a global animal health company focused on innovation. Dr Paris is a distinguished veterinary scientist with an in-depth focus on the diagnostic aspects of veterinary medicine.

Join them as they explore how AI is revolutionising the veterinary field, from streamlining veterinary processes to enhancing diagnostic accuracy with image-based reporting.

The two discuss the benefits of new technologies for both vets and pet owners, particularly in rural areas, and touch on the importance of regular testing for early disease detection. Plus, they chat about the potential for AI to develop new treatments faster, tackle administrative tasks, and ultimately provide better, more efficient care for our pets.

Some of the questions answered are:

• What specific benefits does AI bring to veterinary diagnostics?
• ⁠How can the use of virtual labs and referrals improve access to specialist care for pets in rural areas?
• What are the advantages of using AI to develop new molecules and speed up the drug approval process for pet treatments?
• What are some concerns about data security and job redundancies related to AI use in veterinary practices, and how does Dr Paris address these?
• What are the challenges and pressures faced by veterinarians, and how might AI help alleviate them?
