Join the Fight for Independent Veterinary Medicine
We're building the tools that keep independent practices independent.
Why Tails.vet Exists
Corporate consolidation is swallowing independent veterinary practices. Every year, more clinics lose their autonomy to private equity firms and corporate chains that prioritize profits over patients. We believe there's a better way.
Tails.vet exists to give independent veterinarians the technology they need to compete—and win—without sacrificing their independence.
For Veterinarians
You didn't go to vet school to fill out insurance forms and fight with legacy software.
You became a veterinarian to care for animals. But today, independent practice means drowning in administrative overhead, wrestling with clunky software designed in the 1990s, and watching corporate chains outspend you on marketing and technology.
We're changing that.
Join us as a Clinical Advisor or Partner Veterinarian. Help us build software that actually works for real practices. Share your expertise to shape features that solve problems you face every day. Get early access to tools that will transform your practice.
- Your voice shapes product development
- Free early access to Tails.vet for your practice
- Join a network of independent practice owners fighting for autonomy
- Flexible consulting arrangements that respect your clinical schedule
For Independent Practice Owners
You're not just a veterinarian—you're an entrepreneur fighting to stay independent in a consolidating industry.
Running an independent practice means competing against billion-dollar corporations with unlimited resources. They can afford the best software, the slickest marketing, and economies of scale you can't match.
But you have something they don't: freedom to care for your patients your way, deep community roots, and the agility to innovate without corporate bureaucracy.
We're building the equalizer.
Partner with us as a Beta Practice or Strategic Advisor. Get enterprise-grade practice management technology at startup prices. Help us understand what independent clinics actually need (not what corporate software companies think they need).
- Discounted lifetime pricing for early adopters
- Priority feature development for your practice needs
- Your data stays yours—no lock-in, ever
- Direct line to our founding team
- Be part of building the future of independent practice
For Software Developers
Tired of building features that maximize ad clicks? Want to write code that actually helps real people?
Most developers spend their careers building tools to extract pennies from consumers or optimize engagement metrics that make social media more addictive. That work pays well, but it doesn't matter.
This work matters.
We're building practice management software that helps independent veterinary clinics compete against billion-dollar corporations. Every feature you ship helps a small business owner stay independent. Every optimization means a veterinarian spends less time on paperwork and more time caring for animals.
Our stack: FastAPI, MongoDB, Python, React, modern DevOps. We write clean, maintainable code. We ship frequently. We trust you to make good decisions. And yes, we document everything (check out our CLAUDE.md and PLAN.md—we practice what we preach).
- Work on real problems that affect real small businesses
- Modern tech stack (FastAPI, MongoDB, React, Python)
- Ship code that matters, not features that manipulate users
- Remote-first culture (work from anywhere)
- Build something meaningful with lasting impact
- Direct access to end users (practicing veterinarians)
