Patterson Veterinary Launches Atlas: an AI Assistant for Veterinary Software

Atlas AI is built into NaVetor and also works with other veterinary software platforms

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patterson Veterinary today announced the launch of Atlas, a new veterinary software AI assistant designed to help veterinary practices turn their data into actionable insights and streamline everyday tasks. Atlas is built directly into Patterson’s NaVetor cloud software and is also available separately for practices that want to use Atlas with their existing practice management software.

Atlas allows veterinary teams to interact with practice data using natural questions rather than navigating multiple screens, reports and menus. One of its most powerful capabilities is business intelligence: Atlas can retrieve information across multiple reports, analyze findings and deliver meaningful recommendations to help veterinary practices identify revenue opportunities, improve operational efficiency and support better business performance.

Atlas can also complete a wide range of everyday tasks and workflows for busy veterinary staff, including finding appointment openings, preparing for the next day’s appointments, identifying patients that are overdue for treatments, monitoring inventory, checking controlled substance counts and drafting client communications. It can also help practices summarize lengthy conversations and translate client communications into multiple languages.

“Veterinary practices have tremendous amounts of valuable information within their software, but getting meaningful answers from that data can take time and effort,” said Christal Hahn, Director of Commercial Software at Patterson Veterinary. “Atlas changes that. Practices can simply ask a question and quickly get the insights they need. Atlas helps veterinary teams achieve more efficient time management, better organization and communication, and smarter business planning, whether they use NaVetor software from Patterson or another veterinary software platform.”

The ability to use Atlas within NaVetor or alongside another practice management system provides veterinary practices with a unique level of flexibility as they evaluate how and where AI can deliver the greatest value.
