AI & Automation in 2027 — What Vet Practices Should Adopt, Ignore, or Watch

Liz is a veterinarian with broad clinical experience — from mixed practice to small animal referrals, ECC and shelter medicine. With a drive to support responsible advancement of the veterinary profession and community, she has been involved in organisations and initiatives spanning artificial intelligence, policy, wellbeing, mental health and leadership across the globe. As co-founder of Vet Validaite, her current focus is addressing the gaps in transparency, safety and confidence in the development and use of AI applications for animal health. Through independent validation against best practice standards, the aim is to help ensure the outputs from AI benefit animals and support the people responsible for their care.

Liz Ewing brings a decade of experience in animal health, with a background spanning operations, sales, and customer experience. She previously scaled a house-call veterinary startup from a handful of practices into a multi-state network, leading onboarding, optimizing support functions, and driving millions in revenue. Her work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: launching new business units, implementing technology that clinical teams actually adopt, and turning complex operations into clean, repeatable workflows. A former RVT and practice manager, Liz now serves as leader of Customer Success for HappyDoc, the world's most accurate veterinary AI scribe.
