Follow the patient, not just the visit.
Longitudinal, lab-linked veterinary records, captured through everyday clinic work, for teams studying, treating and testing for disease in animals.

Animal health runs short on real-world evidence.
Most veterinary records are free text, split across practice systems that don't talk to each other. The history a researcher needs, meaning which drug, what dose, which labs and what happened next, exists, but not in a form anyone can query.
The result is familiar to anyone in this field. Trial sites struggle to find eligible patients. Safety monitoring leans on what people remember to report. Biomarker work starts from small, expensive, purpose-built cohorts. And the patient's story across years and clinics is almost never seen in one place.
Captured as a side effect of care.
Vetra runs clinic operations: calls, triage, booking, records, refills and follow-ups. It works on top of the practice software clinics already use. Each task leaves a structured entry behind, so the record grows without asking anyone to do extra data entry.
- Capture
From the workflow
Calls, visit notes, prescriptions and lab results enter as the clinic works, plus the practice's historical records.
- Structure
Into a timeline
Free text becomes coded entities: signs, diagnoses, drugs and doses, lab values, procedures, referrals and outcomes.
- Enrich
With biology
Through our lab network, consented samples can be linked to the same timeline, including samples taken before a diagnosis.
One timeline per patient.
| Domain | Examples |
|---|---|
| Signalment | Species, breed, age, sex and neuter status, weight over time |
| Clinical signs | Owner-reported and exam findings, with dates |
| Diagnoses | Working and confirmed diagnoses, mapped to standard terms |
| Medications | Drug, dose, route, frequency, start and stop dates |
| Labs | Chemistry, CBC, urinalysis and other results, as values over time |
| Imaging & procedures | Studies performed, findings, surgeries |
| Communications | Calls and follow-ups, including symptoms reported between visits |
| Outcomes | Rechecks, referrals, adverse events, euthanasia and cause of death where recorded |
Questions you can finally ask.
Cohort discovery
Describe the patients you need in plain language and see who fits, across clinics, with full histories.
Trial feasibility & recruitment
Size a protocol against real patients, then work with participating clinics to identify candidates.
Real-world evidence & safety
Follow what happens after a drug starts, including symptoms owners mention by phone between visits.
Biomarker discovery
Look for patterns in routine lab values that come before a diagnosis, across breeds and ages.
Prospective samples
Request consented samples from patients whose histories match your study, collected before, during or after onset.
Comparative medicine
Study diseases dogs and people share, in a species where they progress on a shorter timeline.
The clinic's data stays the clinic's.
- Opt-in, clinic by clinicRecords are used beyond the practice only when the clinic agrees, under a written data agreement.
- De-identified by defaultOwner and clinic identifiers are removed before any record is used for research.
- Owner consent for samplesNo sample is banked or shared without the pet owner's consent.
- Clinics share in the valueParticipating practices receive a share of what their data earns.
- Every access loggedWho queried what, and when, is recorded and reviewable.
- No clinical decisionsVetra doesn't diagnose or prescribe. Findings go to vets and researchers to act on.
Early, and honest about it.
We're building the research layer now, alongside clinics already running on Vetra. We're looking for a small number of design partners to help decide what gets built first.

Tell us the question you can't answer yet.
We work best starting from one concrete study. When you write, it helps to include:
- The species, condition or drug you're focused on
- The kind of patients or samples you need
- Your timeline
