AI & Veterinary Disclaimer

Last updated: February 26, 2026

Not Veterinary Advice

VetStream does not practice veterinary medicine and does not provide veterinary medical advice. The Service is a technology tool that uses artificial intelligence to assist licensed veterinary professionals with administrative tasks, including lab report parsing and client email drafting.

Professional Tool Only

VetStream is designed exclusively for use by licensed veterinary professionals. It is intended to assist—not replace—the professional judgment, expertise, and clinical decision-making of qualified veterinarians. The Service should never be used as a substitute for professional veterinary training or experience.

Accuracy Not Guaranteed

AI-generated output, including parsed lab results, interpretations, and draft emails, may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Artificial intelligence systems have inherent limitations and may misinterpret data. All AI-generated content must be independently verified by a qualified veterinary professional before being relied upon or communicated to clients.

No Diagnostic Authority

VetStream does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide medical opinions. Any apparent interpretations or suggestions in AI-generated output are computational pattern-matching results, not clinical diagnoses or medical recommendations.

Professional Oversight Required

All AI-generated content must be thoroughly reviewed, verified, and approved by a licensed veterinary professional before being used in any clinical context or communicated to clients. Users are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and appropriateness of all content before use.

Email Drafts Require Review

Generated client emails are draft templates only. They are not ready to send as-is and must be carefully reviewed, edited, and approved by the veterinary professional before being sent to clients. The veterinarian is responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of all communications sent to clients.

Final Responsibility

The veterinarian retains full professional responsibility for all clinical decisions, diagnoses, treatments, and client communications. Use of VetStream does not transfer or diminish any professional obligations or liability. The veterinary professional is solely responsible for the care provided to their patients.

Not for Emergencies

VetStream is not suitable for emergency or critical care situations. In veterinary emergencies, professionals should rely on their training, established emergency protocols, and direct clinical assessment rather than AI-generated content.

No Veterinarian-Patient Relationship

Use of VetStream does not create a veterinarian-patient relationship between VetStream (or its operators) and any animal patient or pet owner. The veterinarian-patient relationship exists solely between the licensed veterinary professional and their clients.
